I have been quietly searching for a local business to buy for over two years while working full time. Today I am the new owner of South Pleasantburg Nursery (the biz & 8.5 acres of real estate) here in Greenville, 15 minutes from my house. It is 60 years old & the seller has.

Yes. This seems correct.
I call this the “Zillow Effect” . Seamless online transactions increases demand while supply stays the same. Applies to housing, job applications, college applications, used items, concert tickets, dating, hot vacation spots, and more.

Ah yes, Vietnamese people are going to start buying American-made SUVs in quantities that would make this anything other than nonsense. Of course.

So many arguments reveal much more about the people speaking than they do about anything actually being argued. - logical fallacies.- low EQ.- confirmation bias / selective info intake.- poor character.- lack of vocabulary.- no commitment to clarity or charity.

really fascinating to me.
Years ago was in Italy and was talking to geologists up there, and I asked them about if they still had the quarry that Michalanglo used, and they were like yes, and also its the same one the ancient Romans used, and also your mental image of some of the quarries is wrong, its

This is good.
Scaling Up has a checklist that essentially tells you how bad you are at management. I like it a lot.

I’ve gotten really good at this after three babies. The key is to get your whole body into a rocking motion, almost using a squat position, shifting weight from one foot to the other. The momentum is really soothing. Long term my goal always is to lay them down awake & have them.
male reward patterns are clearly hardwired for the task of putting newborn babies to sleep. once you see it it’s impossible to ignore. the baby gives you imperceptibly small signs of what it needs and if you provide, baby sleeps. takes 30m. rewards practice. impresses women.

Can a Texan explain to me why this matters / where this comes from.
I signed a law authorizing Texans to use gold & silver as legal tender in day-to-day financial transactions. It fulfills the promise of Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

Garden centers have such seasonal and weekly revenue swings. In a single day (today!) we went from being down more than $15k this week compared to this week last year, to more than $5k up for the week, with the typically busiest day of the week still tomorrow, and approaching.

I have something pretty heavy to share:. My daughter discovered a song called The Macaroni Song, which is a parody of All Star by Smash Mouth, and she keeps singing it repeatedly. I appreciate your support in this difficult time.

Would love feedback / ideas on this esp. if you've made this change before. Right now, if you call the nursery, all phones ring. There is no recorded message, no options. This is a great customer experience (& I've gotten explicit feedback that it's a refreshing contrast to big.

This post brought to you by the fact that I just found a good reason to say it to one of my employees and it was very funny.

There was a period of time years ago when I found a reason to say “Don’t you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby” a few times per week.

I love this.
Detail of the day: installing a rain shower head inside a skylight so it feels like rain coming down from the sky 🤩. This one took some very careful planning and detailing. but we think it's worth it!. The owners say they never have to turn on lights, except at night.

consistent execution on the basics y’all.
the only thing I know about marketing is that you should make it easy for your customers to find you and easy for them to understand what you do.
