I hear alot of people on here complaing about the PWNA. I am not a member but will definitly join soon regaurdless of how good or bad it may be. A study done in various professions proved that more of the individuals/company's belonging to trade orgs. and other associations were overall more successful than those who didn't. Most joined these groups prior to their success.
I understand that everyone is going to do whats in their best interest as a first priority but we can't leave out whats in the best interest of the industry. The PWNA may not do whats in our best interest as individuals but does seem to do whats in the best interest for the industry as a whole but I can't speek on behalf of the PWNA. From what I read it seems to me that the PWNA is striving to build a sharper image everyday.
I read on one of the boards that if you aren't a part of the solution then you are part of the problem. I could't agree with that statement more, its right on.
Being new to this business funds are limited right now but If I can't budget in mebership dues and a seminar out of the revenue from this coming season I'm probaly in the wrong business. I probably spend more than $250.00 a year on Dr. Peppers and Snicker bars lol.
I appreciate the people who volunteer their time and I'm glad that a trade association actually exists for the power washing industry. I hope to become a member this coming season and help to better the industry.
P.S. Those of you who gripe about membership dues because you can come here to get free info. Its not free I paid $300.00 for internet access this past year and thats for dial up. Before I moved to the country I paid $480.00 for cable access.
Information is power and information cost money wether from books, internet, the PWNA, or just about any other scource.
I sorry to come on here and spout off like this but ney sayers piss me off. They keep the industry suppressed. Its like they are mad because other are doing better than they are.
This thread is not directed at any certain individual/s I've read so many negative posts on this as well as other boards I can't possibly remember them all.
