Business Parters?
Are business partners a waste of time?

Business Parters?

Hey guys Captain Matt here once again with another business video, you can probably tell from my shirt, anyways that's it’s own marketing video. I just want to talk to you about having a partner, I know when you hear about partners in business it's always like “don't do it, it's the worst thing”, and I've had partnerships where I fully agree with that it's totally bad, but I mean the same can be said about marriages, right? I mean if we only went off the bad none of us would ever get married, none of us would ever get married because why would you want to if all you ever heard and focused on was the divorces and the bad things that happened.

So with The Christmas Guys, Elfperts Inc, and Barefoot Lighting I have a partner, Maverick Mike, and what's funny is my wife calls him my second wife, and it really is it's like having a marriage that's only about money, there's no sex, there's no cuddle time, or watching TV together, it is like a marriage only about the money. But, as long as both people really know that going in, and they have a pretty firm written agreement about the roles and responsibilities of each one. That is key because I know sometimes people ask me “‘oh, I don't see Mike doing X Y or Z” and I laugh because they also don't know our agreement. 

So, when it comes to partnerships it definitely is like a marriage all about money, but keep that in mind some marriages fail, some marriages succeed and grow. Don't lose out on a business venture or an opportunity simply because you need a partner, sometimes a partner is the only way that you can actually grow, the only way that you can get to the next level, or sometimes it's the only way you can start. Maybe you have a great idea but your specific weakness might be a key part of actually starting or growing that company, so bringing on a partner, if you can't afford a staff at that time, where they have different strengths their strengths fill in your weaknesses, your strengths fill in their weaknesses. Basically you're building like one person, all the good stuff from each individual putting them together and then hitting the ground running. Or, leveling up faster.

 So again, partnerships, they can be great, they can be horrible, but so can anything in life. Don't make a decision on a partnership simply by going to google and reading the top 10 results that'll tell you partnerships suck. Anyways, it's been Captain Matt. I'll talk to you guys soon.

The difference lighting can make to your interior. Increase your interior space with outdoor lighting?! How? Why? Captain Matt here with a little lighting tip to show you in the daytime the difference lighting can make. So a lot of times we talk about bringing the outdoors in so you have you know outdoor living inside. What's also really important, and if you talk to your interior designer you know continuing your interior to the outside makes a huge difference. One of the biggest things here to consider is that say you have your sitting room, or your kitchen, or your living room and you're sitting there when it's nighttime especially in the winter time. Once we have more darkness than we do light when you look out the window it ends, it's just a black window at that point there's nothing beyond that because there's no light. So adding strategic lighting out there to bring your eyes to something actually expands even your inside it makes your mind think that tha

Talking about the pricing process of getting Gemstones. How Much Does Gemstone Lighting Cost? Hey it's Captain Matt with Barefoot Lighting here one last time, in today's video I get to the ever so important question of “what is this going to cost me?”. Well in order to answer that question we're going to need to know a few things, mainly the measurements of your home, what kind of siding you have, what kind of soffits you have, and where you would like the Gemstone lights to be installed. We offer different options and levels based on your desires and budget, your biggest decision is going to be whether you do the front of your home, the back of your home, the sides of your home, or the entire thing. I like to help my clients by breaking it down like; this the front of your home is for the neighbors, and the back of the home is for your family, now that is a pretty simplistic breakdown but generally it's true. Now if you love decorating for Christmas or other holidays,

How I focus on happiness. Staying happy and learning what that means. Captain Matt talking about Wake Up Warrior it's a part of my routines and how I do operate my business. Another stack is called the happy stack, very similar to a gratitude stack or an irritated stack but on the happier end, a happy stack really makes you focus on some good things. Do you ever wake up in the morning and you just feel alive or great and happy? Maybe you've got a new plant,  little things like that excite you, or you got a new shirt in the mail, or something's getting delivered today and you're just happy. Maybe it's not a gratitude towards something, maybe it's just happiness. Well we way too often don't focus on that and we only focus on the bad things, and the anger. Well the happy stack allows you to kind of get out of your system, and learn a life lesson from it on how to focus on that happiness, and use it you know to live your your day better with a smile all around.
