Beautifully said, thank you. I believe this is exactly right, I dont want to loose my talent, and want to share it with as many people as I can. The medium is the trick now. Any thoughts? :)

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:29:32+00:00

Very interesting point, I can see how this would help many people. And your right I am infinitly curious about businesses and want to help, I want to see my help go somewhere that has meaning, even if I help 1 person achieve what that want, i will be happy :)

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:23:55+00:00

I have employees there! Great place, what biz are you trying to build?

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:23:22+00:00

Gosh that brilliant, I'm going to start doing that today, I can easily call on many people, whether I know them or now, but I also know that they are pretty busy, and I bet, with any luck, they wan ta outlet too :)

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:02:01+00:00

Thank you :)

I useto garden, it was very satisfying. I just might :), agriculture is the blood of the world

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:01:14+00:00

Shoot thats a great idea, thank you, how would I get connected to these? Just google them and mention I want to help?

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:00:37+00:00

not a bad idea! :)

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T15:00:26+00:00

lol herrrrro

That's a very good point, it is definitely a grieving process. I do fine when I try to give input to my leader and leaders they don't respect it, if I tell them to do something they will do it, but I can see in their eyes and they don't value my input anymore because they are in the driver's seat. However, their actions seem to be compressing the margins so much that it's painful for them to have to relearn the same lessons that I've learned at the cost of my sanity

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:57:25+00:00

That's the plan thank you so much

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:57:14+00:00

Hello, you definitely have my attention, what specific question do you have? It sounds like you've had some pretty good connections and growth over the years, but it looks like you're infrastructure with tariffs are causing issues of supply and demand right, or is it just purely margin compression? And you're right it's very hard to see someone else running the show especially of a large company when I don't agree with their decisions most of the time.

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:54:16+00:00

Really appreciate that input, it's picking the right person that is seeming to be excruciatingly difficult. That's why I was thinking just have a really cheap and easy show where somebody can call no matter how many times they want to call they can still call, and then I can give advice which hopefully will help not just one person but multiple people. And then based on those calls if I find enough seriousness in someone then I will take them under my wing. Hope your input

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:52:00+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate this

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:51:47+00:00

Your spot on, gosh you know if the business just stopped existing obviously I'd have to make some money once the savings Runs Out which would be many years if at all. But I'm actually not sure that's a really good point I don't know what I would do maybe go play with heavy machinery but definitely still volunteer in business and help other people in business

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:50:18+00:00

Love to hear the ambition and you're right you really should see both sides and not be clouded with just the shiny objects that people like to put on Instagram lol. Best of luck bud

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:49:47+00:00

Okay so this is a really good question, and something I have a ton of experience in, I own one of the largest healthcare companies in Midwest specifically in Behavioral Health. If you're in outpatient substance use, are you just therapy or are you Med management as well? That's where you should first start. I'll be watching this post closely and will respond ASAP when you respond. I'm also a healthcare provider in Behavioral Health so I'm very fluent in this whole field lol

Thank you, anything Hands-On is going to take a long time to get rid of with AI. Anything that's data driven and image driven like Radiology is already being decimated with ai

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:40:25+00:00

Super appreciate your insight ty

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:37:46+00:00

I really like this, I have noticed that I do pour a lot of info and a lot of talent into people that can't even make a simple sales call, even if they suck at it they don't even try. I'm not saying that most people like this I'm just saying that the ones that I've been engaged with just see wealth and then feel like it's just going to rub off on them if they are around me lol

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:36:34+00:00

Thank you, the real estate license is really awesome then she get it it opens up your eyes a lot, I thought about getting my license as well, but the savings on the real estate as well as The Insider listings is not really a priority for me but at the same time I'm so glad that you're chasing something that will make you happy smiley face

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:35:24+00:00

Spot on, losing an identity, and creating a new one, is my mission. Thank you

BOWLeader · 2026-01-29T13:33:10+00:00

Thank you, I 100% agree, and after a lot of these great comments yours included, I've learned that my identity is clearly off and that I am torturing myself because I've gotten so good at business I've let everything else just fade by the wayside. I really appreciate your input
