Who has bought or runs a small business and lives in Austin? Doing something cool next week that you may want to be a part of!

Getting less skinny

@markvlaskamp You’ve got a friend in me, Mark (everyone is also okay).

Someone hit one of our delivery drivers today. Everyone is safe - except the guy who has to sit on hold with insurance for a few hours…

@theownerop @MarginCFO

Who is the best CPA & bookkeeper on X to help a new service business owner operator get from 10k-100k? This is a unique growth stage where cash flow is slim but OO’s need to outsource bookkeeping ASAP

@KenziesPoolBoy @lagoesminombre Not saying I told you so, but…

@lagoesminombre 50lbs of calhypo in a 14,000 gallon pool did it

I killed the death algae @lagoesminombre

@KenziesPoolBoy Have I introduced you to 12mg snus from Sweden? Yeah, that should solve your problem.

I bought a packet of snus to help me vape less Then I bought a pack of cigarettes to still feel that lung burn, but I was only going to smoke one per night Today I found a vape in my car Now I’m smoking a vape with a snus in while smoking a cigarette every couple of pools Smh

@KenziesPoolBoy Yikes. Does an acid + chlorine wash kill it or does it always return?

@liamtpeel This wasn’t even a joke. This algae showed up in SA 3 years ago. No one knows how to kill it. It eats into the plaster. We just have to drain and pressure wash asap. That picture was from a pool that was clean last week and had good chems the whole time. It’s crazy

Anyone know a phycologist? I have an emergency

@DigitalLiv11 @c_gro E2 investor visa

@liamtpeel @c_gro How did you pull that off? Don’t you need a work visa?

Who has a success story of quitting their job & making your side hustle/consulting gig/new business work for you? Working on something new. Would love to feature you.

@KenziesPoolBoy @meetmikehiggins Tim, have you considered buying four?

@meetmikehiggins Maybe I should buy three

Might acquire two other pool companies. Does Twitter know anything about buying businesses? I haven’t seen a lot on here about it.

@lagoesminombre Currently hiring for experience too. Anybody who complains about Austin’s cost of living I will send your way 😂

@BrettSaremba DEEP

Dips body weight x 2 x 12-15

@Molson_Hart @RohunJauhar Second this. Recently ordered from @kandccattle - outstanding quality

@RohunJauhar salt & time is solid, but local farmer meat delivered to your house is my fav

Austin, TX --- where can you find the best steak in the city?

@isaacfrench_ @LiveOakLake I don’t own STRs and don’t plan to but I’d be tempted to pay for a course just to see how you’re using Zapier.

Should I make a course? How many of you would seriously be interested in a short course on how to create landscape hotels like @LiveOakLake? Done a lot of great consulting, but seriously toying with the idea to go ahead and make this knowledge more scalable. Worth it?

@NeelBParekh Working with Yelp is one of those terrible experiences that I put in the "not worth it even though it generates extra revenue" bucket. Would rather stay up at night writing handwritten mailers than pay them another cent.

I stopped Yelp Ads 3 months ago. And still get random sneaky charges on my credit card from them every now and then. Yelp and Angi, the shadiest companies in the SMB world.

@housleyd For my weekly service customers, their card is saved on first payment (billed first service day for the month ahead) and auto-pays the same day each month after that. Done through CRM integrated with Stripe.

@HarrisFanaroff Checklist. First ever hire will be coming on board next month!

@levinejm @AustinPublicLib I’m with you. The rooftop patio there is also an awesome spot.

What’s the best under-the-radar place to work in your city? I think the @AustinPublicLib reading room has to be among my favorites
