Nick, whaddya think about that Lew Capaul?
We've got some spunky members up here in NACHI country!
Lew is in the next town south of one-blinker-light Spirit Lake.

Maybe we can get Doug to set up a mold class there in Seattle, have people pre-register there opposite the next class dates . . .

Wish I could..sorry I cannot....unless you want to explain to Mr. Johnson why his Solar Array couldn't be installed? Oh, and while you are at it, explain to the other 8 folks why their sprinkler systems are still AWOL when it is 95 degrees out

Bad timing...sorry D.... you too Nick.

Hi Everyone - it's the morning after Nick's talk and HE CONSTRUCTED THE NACHI HOUSE right there in the room for everyone to see. It was a great night - Nick was on fire! I've been in business for a long time and I heard stuff I've never heard before. One of my first thoughts was "How come we wer'nt all charged $500 bucks for the registration fee?". The stuff I heard, if you apply it, has the ability / potential to add thousands, if not millions, to your bottom line over a couple of years. I've had 9 great years of this business and easily make well into 6 figures a year - and I was given a ton of info last night that could have made me so much more, if only I'd met Nick and NACHI much earlier.

I was especially proud and hopeful for the young guys (in business) that were there - what an unbelievable start they are getting! If you apply what Nick was talking about - straight for two hours without taking a break - you will literally stomp / destroy / out-smart / finish-off all of your competition and have so much business, you will be begging for mercy.

If you are crying about the condition of the market, the saturation of home inspectors within the market or that your phone isn't ringing - then you need to get back to the basics - start by downloading the pre-listing seller stuff off of nachi.org - maybe Nick can give us a direct link - and then implement everything on that sheet starting today! The results of your work will amaze you and blow you away.

Nick pointed out at the very end that there are three huge factors in this business - it's kind of like a three-legged stool - you need all three to be successful - here they are: Education / Experience / Committment. If you are not strong in all three areas - YOU NEED TO BE! Work on these three and you will be more successful than anyone else in the business!

I thought it was so great, that I want to produce a DVD (or a series of marketing DVD's) to share with all of the attendees at each of the NACHI Certified Training seminars. This is excellent info and everyone needs to hear it, see it and do it. One of my favorite mottos is, "Learn It, Love It, Live It". Get some passion in your life about what you do!

If you are not putting a VERY HIGH priority on education, then you need to re-evaluate your entire business focus. Go to www.NACHICertifiedTraining.com and read about what we are trying to get done across the country. Each of your chapter presidents has access to this information. I want to set up one, two, three of more training events in your region - we have gotten a huge response from across the country. We are bringing the training to you! If you want more training in your area, call or email me, and I'll work hard to bring you the best educational event ever!

Nick - thanks, man! Awesome job! Love the passion!
