Today felt steady and a little humbling at the same time. Nothing blew up, nothing went sideways, but it definitely reminded me that growth comes with its own kind of mess. One of those days where everything works, but not without a few quiet realizations along the way.

Chair Pickup and a Storage Spiral

I hit the road again with my new teammate and knocked out our first stop: picking up the chairs we dropped off yesterday. That part was straightforward. The chairs were already neatly stacked and organized for us, which should’ve been a win.

Instead, it sent me straight down a rabbit hole. We store our chairs individually covered, so seeing them stacked bare created more work than expected. We ended up unstacking everything, covering each chair, re-stacking, and loading them back into the truck. It took about an hour all in.

No real issue there. The job still landed around a 75% profit margin, which is right where it should be. Just one of those moments where “easy” still requires effort if you want things done your way.

First Tent Job for the New Guy

Second stop was setting up a pop-up tent on someone’s patio. This was the new guy’s first official “tent” job, and honestly, it went smooth. We spent about an hour getting everything set up and dialed in.

What stood out wasn’t the setup itself, but the realization that I’m truly starting from ground zero with training. Not just tents—everything. Right down to how to open and close the box truck door. It’s clear there’s a lot I can’t assume or gloss over, even with the simplest stuff.

That realization stuck with me more than the actual setup.

Warehouse Wrap-Up and Calling It Early

Back at the warehouse, we unloaded the chairs, which felt great to get out of the way. After that, I jumped on a marketing call focused on getting an email campaign off the ground using HighLevel. Its coming along.

I answered one or two inquiries, then decided to call it. The rest of the day was officially shut down for some daytime drinking fun with the wifey. Sometimes that’s the right move.
