When you're looking back, he ended closing on like 40 some odd significant items across the year.

And these are just the ones he documented because we all know we handle more than that, right?

Escalations to his desk drop month after month.

And his team ended the year less exhausted than when it had started.

Which, you know, if you've ever run a field services business, you know that almost never happens.

So in December, he's having a credit line conversation with his bank, and his bank ran an updated valuation on the company.

The number came back basically at the same amount where it had been to start the year.

So he pushes back hard, as he should.

He had the list, all these things, real improvements that got done, and he documented them.

So the banker walked him through how the business actually gets valued.

Revenue is roughly flat.

Margins were flat.

He hadn't added a single new revenue mechanism all year.

And he hadn't added one transferable system that produces results without him standing in the middle of it.

The business depended on him exactly as much in December as it did in January.

Everything on his list had restored the company to spec, but nothing on the list had added something that produces.

You know, he tells me later that the drive home after that meeting was horrible.

He had spent a whole year making the business easier to run and not one week making it worth more to own.

His team had a great year by the only scoreboard he'd ever given them.

You know, and that was that to-do list.
