Well, August 2013 was a huge month for me. I bought a house...three bedroom, two bath, den, two-car garage, deck, privacy fence. Altogether, I outbid three others and got the house for $52,000.
Also, a few weeks later, I landed a job at a maintenance supply company. My brother was working there, and they were having trouble with some guy out of North Dakota. He was updating their website, and when he put up new pictures of floor scrubbers that we sell, he left a TON of white background on the images (cut them out using Paint, lmao)...and it looked awful. My brother suggested that I come in and do it all right, and three days later, they asked me to keep coming in. That next week, they gave me the "keys" to the server, told me I was full time, and gave me lead marketing. Within the next six months, I was also doing their billing, started purchasing products for them, scheduling gym floor work, and much more.
Today, I'm actually shouldering a lot of responsibilities the owners had over the years, which is a great thing because they are in their mid-50's.
We sell maintenance supplies, as I said, but we also service and sell machines, sand and refinish gym floors, lay carpet, clean concrete, sell epoxy floors and bathroom stalls, etc. As it stands, we're a $7.5 million a year company with a lot of room to grow.

This summer, we refinished (101) and sanded (8) a grand total of 109 gym floors...from elementary schools to colleges, and it led to a $900,000 month in August.
Busy, busy.
