Sometimes life happens!

Hello all. I am back. Life took me in a different direction for a moment. I have still been scrapping computers and electronics, but on a smaller scale. I am back bigger and better than ever. I brought in a partner from the west coast and things are starting to roll better than ever. Sometimes it seem that thing are bigger than yourself. It seems as though this is one of those things. I was having a real problem processing scrap and calling on customers at the same time. We have a computer store to tend to also thrown in the mix. I have been able to sustain my building and such, but I was unable to go to the next level alone. I brought in an old friend and boy are the wheels spinning now. It is great to have a person on the same page as myself as far as growing the business and being willing to invest ones self into the business. This is not easy full time work! It is doable, but sometimes a person just has to say they need help. Going it alone is not always the best option as the business grows. I was trying to keep up with processing and doing pickups as well as calling on new customers. I ended up with a 6000+ plus square foot building full of ewaste to the brim. As this starts to happen thing start to be over whelming. I had to step back and assess my situation and call in the Calvary. An old and great friend believed enough in what I was doing to quit a cushy union job driving a milk truck ($30+ per hour) and come out here to tear stuff apart. He also has a extensive computer background and is a natural. Together we are up and running full steam ahead. The organization and work-ability has returned. We went at it day and night for the last 2 weeks to catch up and present a more professional picture for our customers. It is working and working well. I see bigger and better things ahead for I'ma-PC Recon. That feeling of impending doom has lifted:)

good luck with it msearl!

:)Thanks for sharing, good luck!!

Good luck with the partnership! Hope it works out for you.

Good to hear things are working out better for you!! Sometimes things can be overwhelming and have to change. Good luck!!!

Welcome back! I'm glad to see you were able to work things out and save your business. I am having the same problem, just this week alone I made 4 large pick-ups and 2 trips to the scrap yard and that dosn't leave much time to brake things down.

Good luck growing your operation.

Partnerships normally don't workout but good luck
