In 1972 I started a job learning automatic doors (hospitals, grocery stores, etc). I learned the complex trade learning pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical mechanical systems. Of course over time newer technology emerged with motion detectors instead of contact mats to activate the doors. After 4 years, I meant my wife who worked in the Companys office. We got married, left the company and started our own business (the only thing we had to start with is an eviction notice from our apartment
We sat down, thought who would be some good accounts and solicited BofA. Within two years we had just about every major bank in so Cal from the border to well above central cali, all by word of mouth. Over 3,200 branches in all. So I was a D-28 Sub-contractor, doors, gates and activating devices. I became a security expert for the banks as well an expert in ADA compliance laws. After 32 years my health forced me into retirement, thank God, lol.
My trade knowledge rubbed off on the oil as I can mod anything electrical if need be. It gave me confidence to do anything from building wood kayaks, accelerated learning getting into the concentrates. I guess looking back on my life it seems it was all guiding me to this, helping others. Never thought I would be doing this but now I feel so blessed as does my wife.
I think looking at Mr. Simpson, cajuncelt and yourself this background lends an awful lot to problem solving. I'm reading cajuncelts post right now, lol. See what I mean, lolol. We have learned to think things through and use logic, I'm throwing in Canna also as she is a tinker also
You know, when we where kids we took stuff apart, might not of got it to work, but the adventure begins, lol.
Hard to believe how this thread has turned around. People being happy while healing, doesn't get much better than this
Stay your course cal60. It is more rewarding than you ever could imagine.
Thanks Motoco, It's completely selfish on my part, the look on their faces when I give them the actual bill (much less than the estimate I started with) and the love we feel is priceless. I believe that feeling will at least triple when I can help them with their health. I know a buddy that is helping some elderly with their sleep troubles with Tinctures, he said they are happy with that, wait until I get him on board with the oil concentrate. He doesn't know that I plan on growing and was telling me how expensive it is to help these folks, well I believe I can help.
Are you an old contractor Motoco or just a worn out construction worker? I did both, started working 1973. I hurt so bad I had to start a business just so I could still make a living. Take care of your self Motoco we all need you around here for a very long time. Just look what you've started Sir.
