2009 Time to Grow so Let's get Going.

I love new years because they offer a clean slate, a time to move forward with an eye on the future. A new 365 days are available to dream, create, work, love, and build for what I want out of life. This is a time to start new goals to where I want to be at the end of those precious 365 golden gems. I know that in order to reach my objective I have to think about what obstacle will stop me from reaching them and then develop a plan to attack to win the war.

My goals need to be divided into personal, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual goals. A rounded person does not just focus on the development of the business but the development of personal relationship with those dear to him. Is his wife his best friend? Does his grandchild, son and daughter-in-law know that they are loved unconditionally by the time I spend with them. Do my customers know I care more about them than I do their purchasing power? How do I show them their importance?

This year will be a great year. I could care less what the media says about recession because by listening and believing that malarkey allows me to make excuses for not taking personal responsibility for my life and my results.

So with the help of friends and God bring it on. I am ready for action.

I hope all my family and friends the very best 2009 and when the year is done and life has given us what it will we will be talking about the great New Year 2010.

Simtek Privacy Fence: What a great option

What some people will do to do something new. This is getting to be my favorite privacy fence. I love it and so do my customers that have purchased it.

Here is a comment from one: "Jon, The DVD you sent me on this product was a good selling point. I was impressed with the impact resistant tests. I have yet to try the baseball and golfball test, but my wife has tested the rock test. I have not finished landscaping around the fence and my wife was mowing and hit a rock, slinging it right at the fence. It was a golf ball size rock and hit the fence pretty hard. It didn't even scratch it. If I had vinyl, I would already be replacing a panel. I love it! It is a great product!!"





Here are some great facts about Simtek:


  • Authentic: Granite look walls and gates

  • Temperature: Stable in hot and cole weather withstands test at -40 to +140 degrees F.

  • Sound Barrier: Blocks 98% of direct sound compared to 75% for wook and concrete 100%

  • Impact: Superior impact strength, baseballs and golf balls and rocks bounce off.

  • Fade Resistant: UV stabilized for a lifetime of vibrant color.

  • Warranty: Maintenance free with a full lifetime warranty


If you need more information on this wonderful alternative to wood fence, vinyl privacy fence let me know and I will send you one of these DVD's and you will see for yourself why I am so impressed with this stone-like fencing.

As the "Fence man on Wheels" I want to offer you a winter discount of 5% until February 1st 2008. Just use this code to let me know you read this on the blog. 2157023 when you call.

Take Advantage when others are Taking Advantage of YOU!

The past year has been very interesting in regards to Chain Link pipe but great for other forms of Fencing. When the government raised import taxes of steel to help our steel industry get moving our steel companies said to themselves, "Let's jack the price up and up all summer long and make up for lost revenues from previous years." Oh what a huge mistake that made for the fencing industry. We saw steel prices go up 40% in some cases. Bad for us, bad for the consumer. Our consumers held back on getting their backyards done OR moved to another kind of fence.

Now you can get a beautiful wrought iron looking aluminum fence for almost the same price. No doubt aluminum looks nicer but also will not rust over the years. It comes in a lot of designs as you can see if you go to aluminum fence on our site. We at Summit Fence Supply, love to serve our customers and if I can offer a better fence for a lower price. By-golly I will.

I am here because of you.

As a new Internet Business it is important to say thanks because I did not get here by myself and I will not go further by myself. So this blog is to remind us that a healthy business is one that remembers where we came from and where we are going.

Focus, Clarity OH CRAP!!!

No matter how much I read about goals and plans sometimes I catch myself drifting through the day. A quick look at ask.com at the word focus I came across a guy that broke his day down into hours. 45 minutes of work and 15 off to stretch, get a drink, set his timer and got back to work.

If it was good enough for him I figured I would give it a try. Not a bad idea! It did help me focus on the work I had to do. Then I heard about a guy that kept his sanity while trapped in the wilderness by blocking out his day and filling it with chores to be done the next day. Well, if it was good enough for him.... why not try it.

It doesn't matter what techniques I need to uses to make the most of my work day, the key is to have a plan and work the plan. Know what has to be done and do it.

If you have a technique that you use to stay focus your comment is most welcome.
