I have had a brilliant idea....well I reckon it is anyway. Some of you will probably roll your eyes and say WTF is he on about now but here goes
Over the last couple of years I have built quite a few websites for Indie members. As part of that process you get to talk to them and bounce things off them. I can say without doubt everyone of them were brilliant people and we ended up chatting like old mates and even now we still ring each other and talk. Tonight Glenn from Cranbourne Mowing gave me a call out of the blue. We ended up yarning for ages. I really enjoyed talking to him and he is a great bloke.
So that go me to thinking. As Indies we lack the close support of the franchises. We can go for days, week, months or years without talking to another lawnie. It is that issue which draws alot of us to the forum. We need someone to bounce things off or even just have a yarn to. Being an Indy has it's scary moments so having had the experience of talking to quite a few I thought why not suggest it to all.
What I am suggesting is pick an Indy off the forum you may want to say g'day to and give them a ring. You may have to Pm them first to get a number or see if they are interested but if you can I think it is a brilliant way to open up networking and stave off the isolation we all face. Lets try to do it at times whenit is not a bother to the other Indy
