Acquired a furniture company today! I love including my family in these wins. So excited for the next chapter 💪

@NakatomiHarry Boom. Love it Harry. Agree!

@SuccessWithJake If someone legitimately did work they deserve the no so they can move on Give the no, a quick reason, and then tell them a good time to reach out to check on the current plan you’re going with Include “appreciate your help, no need to reply” 3 sentences, move on

Is it polite to let someone know when you go another direction? Product. Service. Proposal. Whatever. Or is ghosting just accepted at this point?

@jamesglenos Yes James!

@SuccessWithJake Quality

We run hundreds of uplights at our events. They add serious presence to a room - but we learned not to assume they all work. Now we test every single one. The time is worth it. Finding out on-site hundreds of miles from our warehouse isn’t. Assume nothing. Check everything.

@StevenShortino Yah the debates aren’t fun haha

@SuccessWithJake In this day, ghosting is quite the standard. Personally, I am just too busy to get into debates or explaining why. (I’d assume many share that perspective) Just accept the L and move on.

@kokopetko Yes Kolo!!! 🙌

@SuccessWithJake This sign should be in every founder’s office. Comfort = slow death in business.

“Normal” is a trap.

@PhatEmpire This is actually a good point Jeremy!

@SuccessWithJake I never ghost on purpose. The problem is, the other person tends to ghost me too (no follow up).

@SMB_Attorney Because you are a good human

@SuccessWithJake I just tell them

@TylerPurcell24 They are amazing souls. Thanks for sharing man

Profession I am most grateful for? L&D nurses 2 of my children had trouble coming into this world and spent some time in the NICU. I watched them save my son’s life standing just 5 feet away. He came out not breathing. They instantly knew something was wrong. They quickly got him over to the incubator. 5 more nurses rushed in. Their communication was unbelievable. Each one knew exactly what they needed to do. One nurse manually pumping air into his lungs. One nurse rushing to clear his airway. One nurse monitoring his heart rate and communicating it to the whole crew. No hesitation, no quiver in their voices. I started to hear some scary words. Code Pink, intubation. I’m standing there. To my left is my newborn son, struggling to survive. To my right, my wife asking “is he going to be ok”. Right then, he started to take a few breaths on his own. Due to their heroic efforts, he only had to spend a week in the NICU and is a healthy 4 year old kid. Forever grateful to all the amazing nurses out there and especially those that bring life into this world ❤️

@quinnjmiller It def seems that way…

@SuccessWithJake Unfortunately we live in the ghosting culture

@jamesglenos Yah for sure Just shocking to me because they spent a fortune to build this house and somehow didn’t think of these super basic things!

@SuccessWithJake New host overlooked issues

Brand new Airbnb. We are the second guests. Gorgeous home right on the beach. Third day. No hot water. No towels. No soap. Broken hot tub. How can you spend a few million bucks building something beautiful and not have basic amenities ready for your guests?

@adamislucky This was my thought too Adam! But I was talking to someone else, and they seemed like it really wasn’t a big deal So of course I went to X to see if anyone else had an opinion 😂

@SuccessWithJake Let them know, it'll save the follow up loop. A quick no is a gift!

@PaolaCalderon08 Good point!

It’s always polite. But not saying anything isn’t rude either, it’s not like they are sitting waiting for your reply.

@benfitterman Yah……….. Ben. Yah……

@SuccessWithJake Guess they skipped that part of the hospitality training

@jayhastings79 Makes sense Jay. I think you nailed it about just not having the business sense Good intentions, not so good execution

@SuccessWithJake Best intentions. I believe it. Don’t have business sense of large chains and ability to accommodate. I got tired of having to do shopping and clean up. I’d rather have in hotel bar and restaurant if need quick drink or snack

@jayhastings79 Nice people but it has been rough!

@SuccessWithJake And that’s why we went back to our major hotel chains and their rewards programs… That’s criminal and it happens all the time

@evanpalsson Good advice!

@SuccessWithJake They are new to operating. Give them the feedback they need so they can fix all the issues for future guests. If they still have issues in 6 months, then that is really on them. The below is my background on the subject. 👇

@collin_ruth89 Haha my thought too

@SuccessWithJake Growing pains

@Dr_Contango I hesitate to do that
