Imagine if this young man's grandfather thought the same as you? He established the best kind of leads you can ever get..."Word of mouth". He had to start somewhere to get to that point, and that he did. You must wear many hats in this business. In this business, you'll be wearing your salesman hat more often than your woodworking hat. That's just the way of life in the woodworking entrepreneur world.
