I’ve been blessed to have some truly exceptional people in my life. What we are embarking on is not for the faint of heart.
I believe we are the only company in the world that can sell new and used equipment, rebuild them in the entirety or major components, haul hazardous and non-hazardous waste (legally and within full compliance of federal and state regulations), transport bulk chemicals, service every industry, sell industrial chemicals, and various other environmental services including vacuum services. All the while warranting all the services we provide. Some of you reading this have become more to me than customers.
The consolidation of vendors requires major talent and is extremely complex. If you’re lucky enough to earn a spot here you’ll have a spot for life. If it’s not for you then your welcome to leave at anytime regardless of who you are. That’s always been my style in both business and life. The good people stay and the ones that leave managed themselves out.
“The greatest people are self-managing. They don't need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they'll go figure out how to do it… What they need is a common vision, and that's what leadership is” Steve Jobs
This was TankServ360 first year working with monthly budgets since it took us a few years to build our business. After a slow start in January and a few company changes, we have exceeded budget every month and continue to grow. MTD continues to provide great repair and machine rebuild services to our customers who need their equipment back up and running as soon as possible. None of this could be possible without our sales and service managers on both sides of the business. We took last Friday as a day to show them our appreciation with some golf and a BBQ. It was a day of fun, but also a day to strengthen our Management team so they can pour into their guys. I am thankful for our whole staff and how hard they work each day. TankServ360 and MTD is what it is today because of our employees and we will continue to support them each day!

This famous quote attributed to Henry Ford highlights the importance of innovation and thinking beyond the obvious or stated desires of customers. Here's an analysis of its meaning and implications:
1. Limitations of incremental thinking: When people are asked about their preferences, they often think within the confines of existing products or solutions. In Ford's time, people were accustomed to horse-drawn transportation, so their natural inclination would have been to ask for faster horses rather than conceiving of an entirely new mode of transportation like the automobile.
2. The power of disruptive innovation: Ford understood that true innovation requires thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. Instead of improving upon the existing horse-drawn carriage, he envisioned and created a revolutionary new product – the automobile – that fundamentally changed the way people traveled.
3. Understanding latent needs: While customers may not explicitly express a desire for a new product or technology, there may be underlying latent needs or problems that a disruptive innovation can address. Ford recognized the need for faster, more efficient, and more convenient transportation, which the automobile ultimately fulfilled.
4. Visionary leadership: This quote exemplifies the mindset of a visionary leader who is not constrained by the current preferences or expectations of the market. Ford had the foresight to anticipate and create a product that people didn't know they wanted or needed until it became available.
5. Risk-taking and foresight: Disruptive innovation often involves taking risks and having the foresight to anticipate future trends and needs. Ford's willingness to challenge the status quo and invest in a revolutionary idea paved the way for the automotive industry and transformed transportation globally.
The quote serves as a reminder that true innovation requires looking beyond the obvious and being willing to challenge conventional wisdom. It encourages entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders to think boldly, anticipate latent needs, and create products or solutions that may seem unconventional or even unimaginable at first but have the potential to revolutionize industries and improve people's lives.
