Another
shovels manure. Yet
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> another calls it bovine excrement, while =
another is a
waste removal
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> specialist. The point is, it don't matter what =
you
call it - crap is crap!
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> It's all a process of getting where you want =
to be
with your career.>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> (It's really all about how you approach your =
work.)
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> John, (sounds like you may be a bit =
"burnt-out" in
your work?)
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> Of course I can pick and choose which pianos I =
want to
work on; I have
<DIV></DIV>that luxury because my services are in demand. I =
do not
work on Squares,
<DIV></DIV>birdcages or, in most cases, old piano roll players.; don't =
need
to, don't
<DIV></DIV>want to.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV> The majority of my clients are upscale, but =
not all
own Steinways or the
<DIV></DIV>like. The big difference between me and some other "techs", =
is that
i LOVE
<DIV></DIV>what i do, and I love seeing the result of my work, as my =
clients
do. I
<DIV></DIV>consider myself more tha a tuner/technician; I'm aslo an =
artist, a
salesman,
<DIV></DIV>a craftsman. I'm also a friend to my customers. I enjoy the =
variety
of piano
<DIV></DIV>work that I do and I look forward to seeing what each new =
day will
bring. I
<DIV></DIV>also LOVE setting my own hours (usually 11am to about 2 or =
3pm) and
owning
<DIV></DIV>my business! I paid my dues as a floor tuner, and through a =
steady
stream of
<DIV></DIV>warranty work, amassed what is, today, a fair =
percentage
of my client base.
<DIV></DIV>While repeat business is the bedrock, new clients come my =
way via
many
<DIV></DIV>avenues, including music teacher/store referrals, YP ads, =
sign on
SUV, word
<DIV></DIV>of mouth, and so on. Don't get me wrong; I DO love the =
money as
well as the
<DIV></DIV>work; but $300-$500 per day is enough for me....After all, =
I need
time to go
<DIV></DIV>to the beach, ride my electric skateboard, catch =
a movie
(usually 2-3 per
<DIV></DIV>week) or be home in time to watch O'reilly! Isn't life =
great!
