In this episode we sat down with Joe Goff of Black Canyon Signs and talked about how he got his start in the sign business. I love that it was something that he started because he needed signs for himself and he turned it into a stream of income.
Joe had great insights on business. He tells how BNI was a big help to his business. He shared about the Blue Collar Billionaires and the Chimney Sweep that goes the extra mile.
Going the extra mile is part of Joe’s Character. He once came over to my house at 11 at night to help me out and did not charge me. Joe share some great info.
Enjoy!
