What was written?

I remember reading many years ago that what gets written down gets done.

This is something that I can say is certainly true. It is why I have a “to-do” list that is created at the beginning of every week. On my list are things I need to get done this week and to get on the list it needs to be something that gets me closer to my goals.

Life will fill in any uncommitted time, it just happens. The 7 winners of our Tim Allen @ the Hult Center ticket give away can attest to that.

You can either let life run you or you chose to run life, and something as simple as a weekly to-do list can make the difference.

This week like the past few, most of my list has revolved around payments, shipping, confirming model numbers and more all related to the new equipment we are purchasing to add to our rental inventory. Adding $600,000 plus worth of equipment takes some effort.

5 New excavators

1 9000# skid steer

1 3500# stand on skid steer

1 Tractor

1 60’ boom lift

2 walk behind trenchers

2 rough terrain scissor lifts

1 wood splitter

1 sod cutter

2 drain snakes

1 laser level

1 locator system

1 rototiller

1 mud buggy (picture an oversized wheel barrow on tracks that drives to the desired location and you can tip it using hydraulics to the left, front, or right side)

1 tall grass mower

All of this will be coming in over the next 6 weeks or so.

The sad part is, many who want to rent this equipment will just assume it will be there when they drive in to rent it. The smart folks will have called in and reserved it.

The reservation will be written, the equipment will be available for them when they want it.

If my projections are correct based on over all economic conditions, County permit values, conversations with contractors and other customers, this will be a busy year. Whatever your plans are for property improvements or repair, you’d best get ahead of it this year.

To delay could add untold challenges.
