A Simple Reminder That It’s Not “Cool”
Hey dudes, Whatever we gain in business is not worth it if we neglect our kids in their earliest, most formable years. Those early years are where character is shaped. Where discipline is learned. Where affection, presence, and example actually take root. You don’t fix that later. You live with the fruit of it later. If we avoid the hard work of formation when they’re young, we shouldn’t be surprised when we’re dealing with headaches down the road. Work matters. Providing matters. But forming our kids matters more. Take time off this Christmas. Be there. And no, it’s not “cool” if we miss our children’s childhood.

My business plan, and looking for pointers/advice.
Brothers, I am looking for some marketing advice. I am building my roofing business over the winter- the systems, plans, goals, etc... I am positioning myself as "not the cheap guy". I am not storm chasing (that is a rapidly dying and highly fraudulent industry), nor am I chasing volume. I am selling certainty, longevity, and a worry free process for a durable long lasting roof. I am intentionally not charging bargain bin pricing (which is still a bit below what I know the market will support for my targeted demographic), and will walk from people that haggle. I need help coming up with a solid marketing plan. So far here's what I have done or will do: - Realtor relationships (especially listing agents) - Supplier relationships - A clean, professional online presence for credibility—not lead spam (need to build) - Selective visibility when capacity allows (have not yet done) Volume without filtering is a liability for the kind of company I’m building. The goal isn’t more leads. The goal is better leads. My model: - Protects quality - Protects clients - Protects crews - Protects my health and family (my central priority) - And actually scales long-term instead of collapsing under pressure because this is how other premium roofing companies did it. I’m building something that can grow into an elite professional roofing company, not something that just survives season to season. What else should I be doing? I am working on a budget, so hiring a gucci SEO expert + ad managers is not in the equation yet... probably anyways. 2026 and 2027 will be reputation and brand building years with the goal of making my business unkillable (as much as I can do). I am trying to play the long game. I have witnessed first hand that low quality volume chasing and storm chasing are recipes for liability, big problems, callbacks, burnout and failure. I have studied the top roofers in my area to glean elements of their models that will help me build this business.

Brother, first off, your instincts are really solid. You are already avoiding the exact traps that burn most roofers out: storm chasing, low-quality volume, bargain hunters, and chaos. That alone puts you ahead of most guys in the industry. A few thoughts that might help sharpen what you are already doing: 1. Your premium mindset is right. Now tighten the framing. You are clear on what you do not want, which is good. The next step is being very clear on why your process exists. Premium homeowners do not buy roofs. They buy risk reduction. They want to avoid callbacks, liability, insurance messes, and replacing a roof twice. That is the story you want to lead with everywhere. 2. Realtor relationships work best when you make their life safer. Agents do not really care about shingles. They care about deals not falling apart. If you can position yourself as the roofer who prevents problems later through fast inspections, clean documentation, and no drama, they will sell you for you. 3. One strong educational asset will outperform ads right now. You do not need SEO or lead spam yet. One clear piece of education that explains where roofs actually fail and how homeowners get burned will do more than ads. That kind of content filters out price shoppers and attracts the right clients. 4. Selective visibility still needs a doorway. This one is important. Avoiding volume does not mean being passive. It means controlling how people approach you. Most businesses filter clients after the phone rings. That is where wasted time, pricing arguments, and mental load come from. Premium companies filter before the conversation ever starts. A doorway is simply a way to pre-qualify people upfront so the wrong clients never step inside. That can look like application-style estimate requests instead of free quotes, clear language that says you are not the cheapest option, and messaging that prioritizes longevity, process, and risk reduction over price. The goal is not to hide. The goal is to make it obvious who you are for and who you are not, so price shoppers quietly disqualify themselves. You end up with fewer conversations, but they are much better ones. That protects your energy and your family.

A Sobering Warning for Fathers - Don't Raise Sons Who Sit Like This
Hey dudes. The recent news about Rob Reiner and his wife being killed, and their son now charged, should shake every father to his core. Not as entertainment. Not as internet drama. But as a warning of how badly things can go when the household collapses. Scripture is clear that children can be a blessing or a curse. Psalm 127 calls sons arrows in the hand of a warrior. Arrows don’t raise themselves. They are shaped, aimed, disciplined, and released with intention. As entrepreneurs, our first responsibility is not our company — it’s our home economy. The word economy comes from oikonomos, or economos in the Latin, meaning “house law”. Our work life is only one part of that economy. What else is included? The household ethos. The shared values. What older generations called the commonwealth — what society knows as “culture.” A strong business with a weak household is not a success. A profitable life that produces resentful, undisciplined, unanchored sons is failure. When fathers abdicate their role - when provision replaces presence, when discipline disappears, when formation is outsourced, the household breaks down. And broken households don’t produce arrows. They produce chaos. Our job is to raise sons who are a blessing to the household. - Sons who are tough. - Sons who understand legacy. - Sons who can control their emotions. - Sons who know restraint, honour, and responsibility. We build businesses, yes. But first, we build men. We don’t want to raise sons that sit like this. ⤵️

Sales Resistance Vs Sales Obstacles
There are two forces that stop a sale: obstacles and resistance. Obstacles are external. They’re practical, like timing, distance, or finances. Resistance is internal. It’s emotional - fear, doubt, and the memory of being burned before. The mistake most businesses make is solving only one. Solve obstacles and you still lose people to fear. Solve resistance and you still lose people to logistics. Solve both and your offer becomes difficult to walk away from 🔥
