[pianotech] Lost business

[Paul T Williams]

This works, but not for this guy it seems. 

Since my morning rant on poor Duaine,, I installed a back damper action, 
new dampers, had to shim the action to fit, and regulated it, now on to 
the rest of it.  5 hours at $50/hour (not my rate!) =$250.  So $300 a 
month doesn't sound so bad, now does it? Without a shop area to work, of 
course you can't do it! As Nike says, "JUST DO IT"!  The money will come! 
Defeating one's-self before even trying will collapse a business before it 
even gets off the ground.  Edison tried his lightbulb thousands of times 
before he tried tungston steel...the rest you can look overhead and thank 
him for trying over and over and over.

Sorry, I wasn't going to post again on this, but y'all get my point.

Paul

"If you can do it yourself and can pay for the materials as you go, you 
have a huge advantage,... NO PAYMENTS!!  Not all would agree that being 
debt free is the way to go, but it sure saves a lot of worries when the 
work is a little thin."
  

I concur
