Default Off to Training

As you all know last year was the first year of our new business of decorating outside of houses for Christmas. We ended up lighting 52 houses and three shopping centers and set a record for first year sales for Christmas Decor. With our inflatable business also continuing to grow at a steady pace, Beth and I have decided to start a third business called Nite Time Decor. (www.nitetimedecor.com). With this business we will be lighting homes year round with beautiful landscape lighting, accenting trees, shrubs, and the house itself. So tomorrow me, Beth, my operations guy and my salesperson head to Clearwater for five days of training.
At 56 years old I sometimes wonder if we need to take on this additional work, and I realize that it's not necessarily the financial gains but the challenge itself. I have always been the type of guy that has to prove to myself that I can take on additional challenges. So we're off to the races - again.

PS - All the members of the Mercedes Club said to say hello, oh wait there is no club. Just a group of people with their heads up their butts!

Great stuff, Maury! Enjoy the training. with Val, it's great that you enjoy what you're doing.

BTW, I'm glad those Mercedes people don't have their claws into you just yet.
