I would like to thank the obvious people, Cody and Holly. I would also say we should not forget Adam, with my shipping background I know tradeshows/seminars can be somewhat of a nightmare. Getting all our training supplies, displays, and equipment there and back is a big job. Bottom line Cody and his family worked very hard, and they did it to help us.
Being new to the HB family I need all the help and advice I can get, seeing the successful operators and talking face to face with them was more beneficial than anything else I can think of. If you think about it there was probably over 1000 years of carpet cleaning experience together at once, pretty amazing.
I wasn’t sure it was worth going. Now that I’ve been, I know I will never miss another (free 101 or not). Thanks to everyone for the generous advice and wealth of knowledge you offered to me.
I rode the roller coaster at New York. It was fun but over quickly even by roller coaster standards. Also, I believe it was $10-$20 per person a couple of years ago. I did it because I didn’t think I’d be back, and still think it was worth it.
Stop and see the Bellagio Fountain as you walk the strip, it is truely wonderful, I think they have it every 15 min.
As for cheap food, I never had much luck with that. But in my opinion Vegas has the best dining in the country. If you have enough in your budget for one nice dinner $50-$70 you will be treated like a king at any decent restaurant I’ve been to about 5, rainforrest cafe jumps out as my most memorable. Look for seafood it rivals coastal areas.
My wife and I enjoyed walking the strip checking out the nice hotels – New York New York (across the street from Excaliber), Paris, Ceasar’s Palace (where my wife and I bought our wedding rings), The Venetian (has a river with gondola rides)The Mirage, etc.
By the way the slots pay better in the older hotels i.e. Tropicana if that’s your thing.
I know alot of you guys from the north will laugh but it will be colder than you expect, I’m bringing a coat. Oh yea, cabs are expensive.
Hope this helped, look forward to seeing you all next week.

I’ve been in business a SHORT time but haven’t had any situations like this, my “low profile” dog has been fine as well.
Really, I just wanted to say – THAT IS THE UNLUCKYIST DOG IN THE WORLD!
Did I mention the floor looked AWESOME when I got finished. I’m really going to push hardwood cleaning.
I’d hoped to get a better response on the poll but alas, everyone seems a little shy.
Hey, thanks for the great advice.
I’ll have to see which method works best for me, but at least I have a few sure fire things that other guys are doing (instead of me playing the mad scientist with my chemicals).
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and got what they wanted from Santa.

I just purchased a van with racks already installed, my only advice is don’t over do-it. I thought they were great until I began loading my equipment. I ended up taking alot back out.
In my opinion you only need shelves on one side taking up 3/4 of the wall.
Mine are a chrome wire type which enables you to adjust shelf height. Also a 5ft length of PVC pipe mounted high on the other wall at an angle holds your rake and long handled items well.
Hope some of this helps ya out.

When I was 21 I was hired at Tempur-Pedic Inc. in warehouse/shipping. I was promoted quickly and set my sights on the warehouse manager position. Well, be careful what you ask for ’cause you just might get it, I sure did. I realized I wasn’t happy and left. 6 years down the tube.
Next, I was hired at a trucking company, (recently aquired by UPS). Pretty good money but I had no life, working from midnight until 10:30 in the morning, tuesday through saturday I never saw my wife and kids. 5 years down the tube
So, a local operator who happens to be a childhood friend has been with HB for 2 years and he’s doing really great.
I Just got back from training with Cody last week. Hopfully this will turn into my dream job.
My wife called while I was in Idaho for training to tell me she figured this out the hard way. If you could’ve seen the visuals running through my mind.
Luckily, there’s a short antennae on top of my van that made “a crunching noise” so she stopped before anything bad happened.
She’s not allowed to drive the van anymore.
