Hello and welcome to Morning Fuel. I am your host John Bundy And you are here because you believe in the power of the spoken word and its ability to change lives. AND that by sharing our stories we can help others to overcome challenges that they cannot overcome on their own. Whether it’s a victory you need to win in business or in your own personal life you understand that the answers can be found in listening to others who are willing to share their stories knowing that their story ultimately doesn’t belong to them. Alright, today’s guest… Seeing a friend in need started him on his business ownership journey. One of his favorite things about what he does is the satisfaction that comes from “Building something and being able to put your own stamp on it. When asked what he does to keep productive, he replied “I am a firm believer in calendar blocking.” When offering advice to others aspiring to succeed as a business owner, he says, “Learn as much as you can and minimize your interaction with negative people.” His favorite quote is "Character is what you do when no one is looking". Lover of meeting people, building relationships and a semi-professional networker. Owner of Capital Carpet and Services whose tagline is" Life Happens, We Clean it Up" Please welcome to the Morning Fuel family, Butch Beckman. Butch Beckman - 757-564-8000 EMAIL butch@ccands.net
