Next Gen

Since my earliest memories one of the biggest advice points I have ever received has come from my dad. His favorite saying "Don't burn your bridges." I have never experienced something so true in my entire life. Building connections with people and even if you don't entirely like them keeping them is one of the greatest things you can do. 

I recently got to experience a local Next Gen event in order for young business minded individuals got to hear and talk to business professionals about their experiences and their tips and tricks for us. The reason don't burn your bridges came into mind is because I had gotten to speak to multiple individuals I hadn't seen in a very long time and who had only known me as a little kid. Getting to speak to them not only about business or experience I got to talk to them as any normal person would. 

Building connections gets you opportunities it gets your name around, makes you more friends, and makes you memorable. These bridges are something of great importance in life and especially for business. Building bridges and shaking hands is an important thing for everyone to do, it helps humans communicate and grow stronger together so just remember every time to meet someone build a connection with them one they won't forget.

Penn College of Technology

     I recently got accepted to Penn College of Technology, and I’m really excited about it. I’m planning to study Electrical Technology, which is something I’ve been interested in for a while. I like working with my hands and learning how things actually work, so this program seems like a great fit for me. Getting accepted made everything feel more real, and it got me even more motivated for the future. I’m excited to learn new skills, work with real equipment, and prepare for a career in the electrical field. It feels good knowing I’m taking a step toward something I’m passionate about.

Big Milestone

     Jackson and I have been grinding on individual details for a while, but we just hit a huge milestone: our first company car contract . Taking on a whole fleet for a local business was a different beast entirely. It wasn’t just about making one car look perfect; it was about efficiency and consistency across multiple vehicles. We had to coordinate our workflow to ensure every car in the lineup met our standards while sticking to a tight schedule. It was a long day, but seeing that row of clean, professional vehicles at the end was incredibly rewarding. Huge thanks to Jackson for keeping the pace up. We’re officially ready for more corporate work!

Building Bridges

Last weekend, my friend and I detailed a customer’s car, thinking it would just be another normal job. We spent a few hours carefully washing the exterior, cleaning the wheels, and deep cleaning the interior until the car looked almost brand new. The owner was really impressed with how it turned out. She ended up telling her dad about the job we did, and he owns a local company. After hearing about the results, he reached out to us and said he would like us to detail several of his company vehicles this summer. It showed me how important quality work and good word of mouth can be in entrepreneurship. One satisfied customer can quickly turn into bigger opportunities and more consistent jobs.
