What's going on my family Busy , busy week . Lots of things have changed . Lots of things have been going on . We are currently going through one of the biggest shifts that the company has had . For a hot minute , we have now left Virginia , or actually I have left Virginia and I am expanding into South Carolina , maryland and potentially DC as well , full time . So a lot of big things going on with the business . A lot of stress has been happening . Recently .

Speaker 1 0:35

Me and my COO parted ways . We lost a ton of people . We got a lot of people . It has been a crazy roller coaster , but we have a bunch of new guys who are coming on board and are absolutely crushing it . Got a closer manager finally established . Got a setter manager established . Got a bunch of guys crushing it . My install team is on fire . We got a new guy who I got from a referral , which , let me tell you guys , if you're looking for a badass service , tech referrals are the absolute way to go , and so it's pretty funny how fast you have to change when you're forced to change . You know we had an amazing offer to go to South Carolina and you know , at the time when the offer came , the business operationally wasn't really where it needed to be to make the move . We were also going through some crazy financial stuff . It was insane , but we pushed forward , went through all the stress and the heartache and we made it . We absolutely made it and my team stepped up , the leaders stepped up and , even though there was a couple weeks of just absolute hell , it absolutely was amazing . So just want to do a little vlog .

Speaker 1 1:47

I'm currently on a six-hour drive down to South Carolina . It's currently 8 o'clock , so I'm not getting home until well , it's my new home , so 1 am 2 am . But that is the grind , ladies and gentlemen , and that's what it's all about . There's up days and down days , and I've got to tell you , the days that are the best in the business are all the days where I'm working the hardest , when there's days where I feel like nothing is happening and nothing's going and there's nothing pushing . Those are the worst days . I would rather have things happening than have absolute nothingness . So I am going to definitely not be in the field as much .

Speaker 1 2:23

I'll be working more on the business , which is also super exciting because I am going to be working remote from my main office in Virginia and , yeah , it's going to allow me to actually grow the business and be separated and allow the business to actually operate itself , which , if you are a founder and you started the business from scratch I think that's one of the hardest things is to separate yourself from the day-to-day and trust the team to do the work , and I am now putting myself in a position where I'm gonna have to let that happen . Now we are about to execute on our big government contract uh , here next week , so I will be coming back and driving back , flying back to work on that , which is gonna be exciting . Um , and then my maryland team is looking really , really stellar Got an absolute savage on board , so we are pushing at light speed . I am excited to update you guys on the podcast when year two rolls around . We are in month 18 now .

Speaker 1 3:20

Oh , and I should also update we just crossed our million dollar total revenue mark , which is awesome for only being in business almost 18 months now , and I think this year we will cross 1.1 , 1.2 in total yearly revenue , which is awesome , considering last year was not even a fraction of that . So everything's going in the right direction . Obviously , cash flow is always an issue and we are looking at getting that remedied ASAP . It's been an interesting couple of weeks . I really want to continue to provide value for you guys , so I'm going to try to do better with the updates and try to get some behind-the-scenes stuff for you as much as I can . I will be updating these podcasts so you guys can at least follow me along with the journey and see kind of what we got going on . So I appreciate y'all . Have a good one , peace .
