Again, Marshall I would like to emphasize the importance of mentors. Just like it would be hard learning to play piano without a teacher looking over your shoulder and helping with your technique. If you can make friends with one or two of the most successful technicians in your area, you will not only have a valuable model of how to grow your own business, you will have the chance to get real life feedback about what areas you need to improve. How do you know if the problem is the economy or not? It may or may not be. Just like a beginning piano student may not be aware that his/her wrist position is causing them difficulty, a person just starting out with piano technology and business may be doing many things that are inhibiting success without being aware. One thing I noticed is I can't find you in the PTG directory. Are you a member of PTG?
