We're Building A Baja Race Team

Dan is making an announcement: we are building a Baja race team. This episode is not a normal fence-business topic, but it is still about business, leadership, growth, and deciding to stop waiting on “one day.” Dan talks through why this bucket-list goal is finally becoming a real plan, how this year has changed him, and how working out, quitting nicotine, reading more, learning AI, and getting around different people have all pushed him into a new season of action. For business owners, the bigger question is simple: is your company helping you build a life, or has it quietly replaced one? **** Make-A-Wish: https://secure2.wish.org/site/TR/WishYourWay/Make-A-WishMid-South?px=11162554&pg=personal&fr_id=6676 [https://secure2.wish.org/site/TR/WishYourWay/Make-A-WishMid-South?px=11162554&pg=personal&fr_id=6676] **** PARTNERS: Thornton Fence/Business Consulting: https://fenceconsultinggroup.com [https://fenceconsultinggroup.com] Thornton Skool: https://www.skool.com/fencelinetosuccess/about [https://www.skool.com/fencelinetosuccess/about] FenceNews: https://fencenews.com [https://fencenews.com] EZG Manufacturing: https://ezgmfg.com [https://ezgmfg.com] mySalesman: https://mysalesman.com [https://mysalesman.com] **** EFP Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CdjxbcxGQ/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CdjxbcxGQ/]

Starting From Scratch: What I'd Do on Day 1

In this episode, we are going to play out a scenario. If I sold Memphis Fence, moved to a new city, and had to start completely over with nothing but experience and $150,000 in the bank, what would I do first? This episode is not about theory. It is a step-by-step rebuild plan from the perspective of someone who already understands the commercial fence business, relationships, estimating, operations, and cash flow. The money matters. $150,000 is enough to start, but it is not enough to be stupid. Every decision has to protect runway until the company can generate consistent cash.

No Goals, Just Direction

In this episode, Dan talks through a question he’s been sitting on for weeks. What do you actually want your life and work to look like in the next 5 to 10 years? Not surface-level answers but real answers. He gets into why he’s never connected with traditional goal setting, what actually matters instead, and the uncomfortable truth that most of us already know what we need to do, we just don’t do it. No fluff. Just a hard look at direction, discipline, and the actions it takes to get where you say you want to go. **** Make-A-Wish: https://secure2.wish.org/.../Wish.../Make-A-WishMid-South [https://secure2.wish.org/.../Wish.../Make-A-WishMid-South]...

Come Bid a Job With Me

In this episode, Dan walks through how he actually bids a commercial job—from the first look to submitting a number. This isn’t theory. This is the real thought process behind deciding whether a job is worth bidding, what to look for in plans and specs, where most people miss critical details, and how small mistakes in the bid turn into big losses in the field. If you’ve ever wondered why some jobs look good on paper but lose money in reality, this episode breaks it down step by step. **** Make-A-Wish: https://secure2.wish.org/.../Wish.../Make-A-WishMid-South [https://secure2.wish.org/.../Wish.../Make-A-WishMid-South]...
