Every day running a siding franchise is a new experience. That is one of the things I like most about entrepreneurship. There are always new things to learn and opportunities to go outside of your comfort zone.

Here are a few things I learned just this week:

1) It is advantageous to have multiple Google My Business profiles for SEO purposes

2) Cheap aluminum siding is rarely produced anymore except for in rare scenarios where repairs are needed to existing siding

3) Builders are not an ideal target customer. They ask for a lot of different items in quotes you provide them, they send them out to lots and lots of companies so you’re likelihood of winning a particular job with them is low, and if you do win the job they’ll squeeze your margins very tight.

There are a lot more things I could say, but the main point is that if you like to learn new things every day and challenge yourself, entrepreneurship could be a good potential fit for you.
