No it would not. The best I could hope for would be to have someone to try and get customers to postpone the work until i was able to go back to work. Which i've had to do for the last three weeks. and most have been ok with waiting when they found out t>>>

For how long is the question?

Last year I got sick with the pneumonia and was off of work for over one month and everything clicked on it's own without me. But, I had an additional salesman at that time, which is a luxury that I do not currently enjoy.>>>

I do believe that we have all the things set in place to run without me. We are incorporated and have some people in place just in case. This is my second time around with a company and we sure did learn alot from the first time around. I never set up>>>

Hi Copperman,

The main reason I am building my business is my sons. If not for them I would just deal with the FNG. LOL

Jesse is made for management end. Adam is made for installing. Adam is the biggest challange.>>>

no It would not. all my work is specialized and so complicated most guys wont even look at it. I have tried to teach so many guys how to do what I do but most can't hack it. Unlike shingles when doing copper roofs, crickets, barrel dormers and built-in g>>>

If your business wouldn't survive without you, then you don't own a business. You own a JOB ! At this point I still own a job :P

I believe if you teach two hands then you have four hands. If those second set of hands now teaches another, you have si>>>

absolutely not. i install my own work and i personally back up EVERYTHING i say. i believe that businesses that provide services like roofing should never run without the owner. i also think it's disgusting that most people have a goal like sitting at ho>>>
