AMEN TO THAT!!! This is why you'll find me answering email messages at midnight and working on weekends when I'm supposed to be closed.

Regaurdless of what TW does for a job, how many members do you think have two jobs? I do and I know others do too!!!

Remember, that wasn't meant as a dig. I've been there and the simple fact is that things are different when you have a "day job" to count on vs. when your only source of income is your own business. I will be the first to admit that I'm no business genius, never took business classes in college...I just did what seemed right. When I had a day job to fall back on, I treated things differently. I looked at my profits from the business as "play money" to work on my truck or "extra" money to put toward something we needed. I was less concerned with the bottom line because I could be. When I quit my day job and started running ITP full time...the importance of that bottom line and paying the bills made me give a LOT of serious considerations to how products are discounted, etc. This is why I quit selling a bunch of the products I used to sell...price competition is no way to run a business and be successful...it's a fast way to a nervous breakdown in my opinion.

Time for me to step out of this one. I've passed along my experiences. Getting a little warm in here...

Rich --> I totally forgot about that flu thing. I do remember him talking about that when I was there now that you mention it.

Really, this is warm? I think this has been a very civil conversation! I couldn't be more civil when you consider that I've suggested checking out all of the options and going with whichever fits the customer best (which might not be what I sell).

I don't think there is anybody on here that runs a bad business. I've heard nothing but good about TW, and I can understand he's a busy guy. But the littlest bit of communication can go a long ways. The place I used to work had horrible communcation and it was evident in the attitudes of the employees and the way and how quickly things got done.

Tony did a great job on the chip first time around. I had high idle, 50tow, 80econ, & 125hp settings. The high idle is great, especially when it's been down to -20* air temp lately, as well as when trying to jump start other equipment. The 50 & 80 settings weren't working, but from talking with TW with my truck being an early '99, the chips don't get along the best with the PCM. I purchased a newer PCM and sent the chip back for reburn. I'm anxiously awaiting the return to see how everything works!
