I have been extremely sick with pancreatitis for the last couple of years. I spend most days in extreme pain and have used #Resisting on here with pain meds as a way to distract. Yesterday my family suggested I sell my company.
I want to thank every one of you for your thoughts. Sometimes I just need to say something out loud to take the power out of it. I think the best advise so far has been to find someone who want to come in and start buying me out slowly understanding I might not go all the way.
My plan has been to walk this company across the USA like I did LatAm. There is a man in my state, Dan Price that is paying very high wages to every employee no matter who. I have been studying him very closely.
The best results I have ever had is when I make employees partners. I have found that when one owns into the comapny they always work 100% harder and think about things beyond the scope of 9-5. I have happily worked many 16-20 hour days. Owners do that.
My plan is a employee owned company. Each city gets core group, once they have fulfilled list of needed items for business I will come in with my team and be their Rabbi for 5% of profit that will float to top company to sustain me and headquarters.
I am currently predominantly installing only commercial and for Farms but we have done and do do some residential. Residential solar has become a commodity. It can easily be done DYI and I suspect @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris will have federal program for all new homes.
I have had some amazing conversations with top lawmakers in DC and they convinced me the timing is perfect for my solar, our building technology company and our indoor lettuce factory company, we grow all veggies vertical indoors (but no pot) The Veg company is iffy.
I have been working on this plan since I sold the CA company and watched the buyer eventually fold. I am not a salesperson and the only way I have made it is through a good sales force.
I thought I had found a partner who owned a bunch of yellow page companies which are all going under. He turned out to be a hard core Trump supporter. I do not discriminate with employees but will never $ partner with somebody who thinks Trump is smart.
Good idea though as it came with built in sales force as well as his own investment to convert over. It was only a matter of time until he figured out Reesus Patriot is me and that would have been a huge problem.
I think America has become fed up with Wall Street after watching Trump manipulate it so easily for his and his friends benefit. It is legalized betting and is out of control. Complicated games built by idiots. I will never do the Publicly Traded ever again.
Several times now I have raise money from you, the people to install solar for non profits. We did it for Puerto Rico after the Trump Paper Towel Hurricane https://www.nowsolar.co/puerto-rico  and several other projects. I was astounded at how many people want to get involved with solar.
We are a minority company and take pride in the fact we have helped many minorities start their own renewable companies. They will have much more power under a large umbrella and will be the first folded into this. Our Puerto Rico friends will for sure be folded in.
I have struggled for years trying to bring solar out to Indian Country. There are now several that were doing OK but Trump and COVID have taken its toll. Trump took their solar incentives. They were there but they only approved one out of thousands we submitted.
The problem we have experienced with incentives at the federal level is they are short term and by the time you build up the company to take advantage they are done or reduced. It was why I concluded the only way to be fair is to remove incentives from all energy.
There are fossil fuel incentives that are now 100 years old. Incentive were designed to help get an industry off the ground. 100 years is enough time.
In 2016, Solar installed 39% of all new electric generating capacity, topping all other technologies for the first time. Solar’s increasing competitiveness against other technologies has allowed it to quickly increase its share of total U.S. electrical generation.
Until 2016, the solar industry was America's fastest-growing energy business, expanding by 20% each of the past four years and now employing nearly 374,000 workers.
