“Don’t make it your painters’ fault that this happened or that you got here. This is your business; you created this chaos and you have to uphold the culture.”
“If I’m doing something and my phone is ringing off the hook, I will pause and let people leave messages and make sure that I’m focusing on what I’m working on because it can get pretty chaotic this time of the year with your phone.”
