Interesting! I met a crew member of JBlines about 3-4 years ago in Toronto. They were striping a Home depot. I went and ask them questions about line painting. That conversation is one of the factor that contributed to leading me to start my own striping business. They even let me stripe one line that day - Yayyyy!.... that Graco machine was sweeeeeeeet (luxury). The crew was from BC and I didn't kept contact with them as it seems the crew was going back to BC after the summer. I really want to spread my cie but that's seems lots of work.... Logistics is something really challenging when I am outside of my normal geographic area. It's already challenging within my geographic area. I am still struggling between growing geographically and growing vertically/horizontally. The latter I can do it within my geographic area easier to do. The former it's challenging. I need to choose between doing better with what I do whitin my means or growing for other ventures (pavement, sweeper...). It was nice hearing about his financial and family struggle. Business is way harder than I think. It's a punch in the nose. It's challenging to keep a sense of humor, a sense of value, being kind, when you are in a storm. Some businesses it's seems at the first year.. everything is under control... for some it take years.... others never
