💯% respect for Jim 👏 . Glad he realized growth in life is not based on the materialistic crap in life. Homeowners undertake alot of stress and anxiety when they have issues on their home. I believe more when it has to do with their roof. There is good money in repair work but thats not why i get up in the morning & do what i do everyday! The relief i have given Homeowners in a time of stress even if it was just for a couple minutes. is the 2nd greatest feeling ever. The 1st was my son being born 😭! nothings going to ever take that spot lol especially bc “Doctor’s” gave us 5% possibility of conceiving on our own🖕🧑⚕️
Yeah Nick, life is much more fulfilling when we focus on serving others instead of serving ourselves.
@Jim Johnson i couldn’t agree more. The nation is need of more people lo like you. Thanks for the great interview!
😂 1:18 Golden Dimitri..
This is by far the best and most valuable advice I’ve heard in a while
Hey, I like options at night!!!!
Roger that!!
In my humble opinion this is in my top 3 of better videos that you have shown in your YouTube channel. Keep working hard 💪 and thank you for all that information. I always hit the like button to support you is the less that I can do.
Thank you so much for your support!!!
Xapier glad you enjoyed it! Was there anything in particular that stuck out to you?
Such an excellent interview that I had to watch it twice. Appreciate all the insight.
Thank you so much!!! Jim is great! Was very nice to listen to
Richard we are glad you found it insightful enough to watch twice! What in particular were your main takeaways?
@Jim Johnson There were many takeaways, but the biggest points for me were #1 What happens if there were no sales starting today. #2 What is our cash flow. #3 Having a great business culture which in turn leads to the point of “Doing the right thing every time”. #4 Making employees better to further grow the company with ongoing training and learning opportunities. #5 Get to where it hurts to not hire someone.
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
55:00 to 57:00 about the non compete and hiring like minded people will run the bad ones out. I like how he thinks
That’s a great Question!
One of the smartest guys in the industry. A huge 90 minute crash coarse education you all just got for free! Thanks for sharing this.
If someone is embezzling and you don’t notice, you’re a clown, not an owner.
Takes time to catch a thief
Bro keep this up🙏🏽
Will do
California, roofers come and go, and among the ones who go, a fair amount of them were just scammers.
Been in business 27 years, the most long term profitable approach absolutely has to include being a good guy. 1000%. That includes doing the right thing even when no one would notice if you didn’t, because Karma is real. By good I mean honest, fair, responsible, reasonable, accountable, responsive, give a damn, try to do the right thing. And that includes with your employees.
Jim Johnson is amazing when he came to the company I work at – Proliance he was so awesome 😎
Was it a Pro Alliance with Jim
