[00:00:00] Jon Schmitt: You definitely changed me. You definitely did. Thinking, my focus, everything. I mean the name, just everything.Â
[00:00:07] Jason Hull: All right. Welcome DoorGrow Hackers to the #DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others impact lives, and you are interested in growing your business and life, and youâre open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow Hacker.
[00:00:27] DoorGrow Hackers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think youâre crazy for doing it. You think theyâre crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income.
[00:00:46] At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Iâm your host property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow.
[00:01:06] Now, letâs get into the show. And todayâs guests, I have two guests here today hanging out with me and itâs the Schmitts, right? So Iâve got Jon and Sonia Schmitt, and they are clients in our mastermind program. And why donât I let you two kind of introduce yourself?
[00:01:27] Jon Schmitt: Iâm Jon.Â
[00:01:30] Sonia Schmitt: Iâm Sonia.Â
[00:01:31] Jason Hull: Awesome. So why donât you give people a little bit of background on yourselves, like getting into property management and what youâve got going on currently.Â
[00:01:39] Jon Schmitt: All right. Well, getting into property management, you know, just all started when I started buying properties back, you know, 28 years ago. Just driving around in a station wagon with my lawn mower, cutting grass, that kind of stuff.
[00:01:52] And then, uh, you know, became a real estate agent a couple of years later started managing properties for some other out-of-state people âcause the company I worked for allowed that. And I figured, you know, itâs income without having to do any deals. So struggling to be a real estate agent, property management was a paycheck every single month. So thatâs how I got started. And then Sonia, she has been a landlord as well from way back. And once we met, I already had an established business, which was dwindling away. Then she came on board, and we kind of held steady and we werenât growing, and then here we are with you. So thatâs pretty much our background.Â
[00:02:39] Jason Hull: Howâd you hear about DoorGrow?Â
[00:02:41] Jon Schmitt: I seen you on Facebook.Â
[00:02:43] Jason Hull: Okay. And so you saw some Facebook and then⊠whatâs that?Â
[00:02:47] Sonia Schmitt: I was saying, I think he seen you on Facebook for a long period of time.Â
[00:02:51] Jon Schmitt: I was stalking you.
[00:02:52] Sonia Schmitt: He was a stalker.Â
[00:02:54] Jason Hull: Yeah. Okay, cool. I like stalkers âcause theyâre like nurturing themselves over time. And then when they come to us, theyâre really excited. I mean, youâre not just going to sign up right away, right? So you saw us on Facebook, and how many doors did you have at the time you decided to start with us and what challenges were you dealing with then?
[00:03:14] Jon Schmitt: I think we had about, um, forty or so. Most of our business was from foreclosures, from homeowners associations, and condo associations. I made a contact with a couple of attorneys and they were just throwing it at me and throwing out the owners that werenât paying their fees, getting foreclosed on.
[00:03:35] And then I was turning the properties around, getting them rented and collecting rents and doing the maintenance because the homeowners associations and their managers, their management companies, are not landlords. So, I established myself as a landlord. So thatâs what they needed. And I exploded from there.
[00:03:54] But then when the banks were taking over and I was losing business, right at that time, Sonia came into the picture. We kind of stabilized, but then we needed to grow. And I said, âHey, Sonia, look at this guy on Facebook.â and here we are today.Â
[00:04:10] Jason Hull: Whatâd you think Sonia, like, who is this cat?Â
[00:04:13] Sonia Schmitt: Oh, I thought you were phenomenal from theâ from the momentâ from the moment I heard you first speak and I was intrigued and excited. You brought excitement back and direction.Â
[00:04:27] Jon Schmitt: I should leave you two alone.
[00:04:29] Sonia Schmitt: Heâs a card. Heâs always a card. You never know whatâs going to come out of his mouth.Â
[00:04:39] Jason Hull: So we love having Jon on the calls because Jon is so funny. Like you just, you say the funniest things. So John, Sonia, you started at that level of doors and you had some challenges. Whatâs changed? Like whatâs been happening in the business since then?
[00:04:56] Jon Schmitt: Well, since we hooked up with you, you totally changed our direction. You change the way we think. Youâre changing the way we operate. Youâve changed our brand. We kind of did that immediately. I mean, you really pointed out a lot of my own personal flaws, which, you said one thing where I was beside myself. You called me low value. I couldnât believe it.Â
[00:05:23] Jason Hull: Did I call you low value?
[00:05:24] Jon Schmitt: You called me low value! Hence the TalkRoute. And now I donât like it, but Iâm going to go back to low value, but Iâll figure that out at a later time.Â
[00:05:33] Jason Hull: I donât, I donât know that I called you low value. I want you to be high-value.Â
[00:05:38] Jon Schmitt: And I want to be that. And when you did my son, Alex was laughing, and he keeps teasing me. Heâs like, âYouâre low value.â And youâll love that.Â
[00:05:49] Jason Hull: You tell him to watch it. You tell him to watch it.
[00:05:51] Jon Schmitt: Oh yeah.Â
[00:05:52] Jason Hull: He needs to respect his elders.Â
[00:05:55] Jon Schmitt: Youâve changed our direction. You really made an impact and changed our direction, and it seems to be working. We have to do the work. You have the ideas. You tell us the ideas, we do the work, and weâre starting to get results. Hence, Alex landed a deal through a realtor. And the lady went with our premium services. And that was Alex. Heâs very proud of himself.Â
[00:06:16] Sonia Schmitt: Yeah.Â
[00:06:17] Jason Hull: Awesome. Yeah. We revamped your pricing.Â
[00:06:20] Jon Schmitt: Yes, yes.Â
[00:06:22] Jason Hull: Right. So youâre making on average more money per deal. You have more offerings that are a better fit for different types of clients.
[00:06:31] So how many doors are you at right now?Â
[00:06:33] Jon Schmitt: What do we have? Like 80?Â
[00:06:35] Sonia Schmitt: 79.Â
[00:06:36] Jon Schmitt: 79 doors.Â
[00:06:39] Jason Hull: Yeah. I mean weâre getting close to doubling, right? What- whatâd you start with? Whatâd you say?Â
[00:06:45] Jon Schmitt: Like 40.Â
[00:06:46] Jason Hull: I mean, weâre just right there.Â
[00:06:48] Jon Schmitt: Right. When we met you, we kicked a couple of sisters to the curb. You know, we were talking about firing them and then after talking to you, we said, âYou know what?â Sonia said, âWeâre done.â Fired. They were a little pissed off, you know, when we gave him 30 days notice and they couldnât believe it, but we needed to do it. And it was probablyâ yeah, it was like almost 20 doors. So we took a hit, but we were okay with the hit. Weâre better now.Â
[00:07:15] Jason Hull: Yeah. So you had 40. I told you to get rid of 20. So you were at 20 and now youâre at 79. Youâre almost at 80.Â
[00:07:26] Jon Schmitt: Right.Â
[00:07:28] Jason Hull: And so thatâs incredible. So thatâs awesome. What do you feel like for those that havenât been in the program, what do you feel like is the most significant thing that youâve been getting out of this?
[00:07:40] Sonia Schmitt: Oh, I mean, for me and Jon handles most of the sales as of right now, but for me it was developing your âwhy.â Why are you doing this? Itâs the weekly meetings that we have. We get ideas from you. We get ideas from other property managers that are located throughout the United States on things that are working, things that are not working. And itâs the focus. I think, you know, you talked about the â5 currenciesâ and focus. And I think the focus hasâ itâs now laser sharp versus before it was very dull. Okay. So now we have focus. Weâre a little bit scattered because weâre trying to do multiple different things, but weâre laser focused in on the how and the why.
[00:08:37] And I also think accountability. Conversations. Where are you at? Tell me what youâre struggling with. You know, what, what is your direction? I think that you come up with innovative ideas, which I think that is at the top of the game of different things that are gonna make us be able to succeed, make more money in collapsed time. And thatâs the one thing that I am working on is collapsing time so I can be more effective, more efficient. And I think with Jon, justâ gosh, itâs the motivation behind it all. And like I said, being laser focused on what youâre going after, why youâre going after it. And you know, Alex and I went to a property and itâs like, âoh, Iâm not sure. Iâm not sure.â And I ended up and I liked it, but when I first seen him and I met him kind of like the location, and I didnât know what the inside looked like I just looked at him and I said, âI donât know if Iâm going to take this or not.â I said, âjust be prepared,â you know? But again, we donât want all properties. We want to know and go after our client health. And we want that to be narrowed in and focused on, which is going to give us the most bang for our buck.Â
[00:09:57] Jason Hull: Yeah. Yeah. Some of the stuff for people that are not in the program might sound a little fluffy and woo woo, right? Like âwe figured out our âwhy,â and like collapsing time⊠and you know, people in the program, they get it. So what would you say to those people that are not in this? Like, how has figuring out what your motivation or your âwhy?â How has that shifted what happens in the business?Â
[00:10:21] Sonia Schmitt: Weâre just not going for anybody any longer. Weâre not taking on clients because those clients end up taking a lot of our time. You know, you donât want a homeowner, right? Or a landlord. You want a specific landlord within a certain location that takes care of their properties that cares about their tenants. So it becomes more focused. So, you know, and you then can drive your business with more focus in that direction.Â
[00:10:51] Jason Hull: Yeah. So youâve got a lot more clarity on the avatar that youâre kind of targeting and going after now. And so, surprise, youâre getting more of that type of person as a client, right?
[00:11:02] Sonia Schmitt: Yes. Yes.
[00:11:04] Jason Hull: And really at the core, for those that are watching or listening to this now or later, understanding the âwhyâ may sound like fluffy sort of weird stuff, but understanding why you started as a business and the motivation behind it and what type of clients you want to be working with.
[00:11:21] I mean, the business exists to serve you. And Iâm sure that itâs starting to feel a bit more like that, like that instead of you serving the business, which doesnât feel very fun, now youâre starting to shift into âthe business is serving us and our needs and desires.â Does that sound accurate?Â
[00:11:40] Sonia Schmitt: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:11:42] I think we were very scattered before all over the place. Now we are focused in onâ we have different buckets that weâre going after. And we may not have everything checked off, but it brings clarity with the mastermind group of what needs to be done first. Itâs kind of like, yeah, I may handle the operations and the accounting, but without the sales, there is no operations or accounting. There is no maintenance. There is none of that. Everything has to start with the sales and going after the right clientele that we want in our niche.Â
[00:12:20] Jason Hull: Now Iâm sure. Before you signed up, there was no shortage of a to-do list of things you felt needed to be done in the business, right?Â
[00:12:28] Jon Schmitt: Right.Â
[00:12:29] Jason Hull: I mean, every business we have endless to do lists. Itâs like a âto-dieâ list for us as entrepreneurs. So coming into the program, it sounds like just really helped you get clarity. And we talk about this a lot in the program, like really focusing on whereâs the biggest pain first and assessing things. I talk about going through the core functions of the business and figuring out which things are the weakest. Did you realize going through some of this and coming into the program, that you were focusing too much on some things that were already working well, and then maybe shifting to things that needed more attention?
[00:13:05] Jon Schmitt: Yeah, we were all over the board. Okay. We still are a little bit. But the things that need attention is new business at this point. The accounting is functioning good, bookkeepingâs spot on, the maintenance? Weâre okay with that. You know, itâs the sales. So I had a couple people that were referring me business, but you know, that kind of has gone away.
[00:13:29] Not that they donât like us anymore. They just wonât throw us business. However, the type of business we had, the foreclosures, have dried up. So now weâre just laser focused on the real estate agents, some other attorneys, CPAs, and insurance brokers. Alex and I are doing calls, you know, I have my calendar blocked from [9:00] to like [11:00]-[11:30]. Thatâs all Iâm doing. Okay. And we do it nonstop one call after another. Some calls last 10 minutes, some calls last 30 seconds. So I want to try to make at least 30 calls a day. And Alex also, and thatâs our focus first thing in the morning. And then Iâll take care of maintenance and everything like that afterwards, as it needs to happen.
[00:14:17] Jason Hull: Yeah. Awesome. So what are you excited about in the future? Because youâre in a state of momentum. You can see the things are positively changing and shifting in the business. I mean a lot of property managers right now are losing more doors than theyâre getting on. Theyâre like going down because the sell off thatâs happening in the marketplace. The marketâs generally hot throughout the U.S. Lots of investors are getting out and Iâm sure you felt some of that as well. I doubt your marketâs immune to that totally. Correct me if Iâm wrong. But youâre growing and outpacing that attrition thatâs naturally happening with growth. So what would you say to those that are like thinking about working with DoorGrow? Because Iâm sure a lot of people see my social media. They see the things that we put out and they think, âyeah, who is this guy? Like thisâ another guru out there whoâs trying to get money from people.â So whatâs your perception of me since youâre on the inside, behind the paywall and weâve had one-on-one conversations and youâve been on our group things and youâve been into the material. Whatâs your perception of me, my motivation, and DoorGrow and the team? Iâm curious. And you can be as honest as possible.
[00:15:32] Jon Schmitt: Oh, Iâll be honest. I think youâre a very interesting guy. Me personally, Iâm not a woowoo type guy, but sheâs a woowoo girl and her friends are all woowoo. Um, you know, I think youâre very interesting. Youâre very creative. And just your techniques that you pitched to us and your ideas and your way of doing things, I think itâs spot on. I think that you know, people that arenât doing it the way you say to do it, itâs kind of like theyâre old school and you know what? Weâre into like a new era, a new way of doing things. And you have to change with the times. If you donât change, youâre going to die.
[00:16:12] The way we used to do it, you know, I would cold call landlords, I would send out mass fly postcards and stuff like that. I mean, I tell you Iâd send out 10,000. Itâd be 10,000, weâd get one call. Okay. You see what Iâm saying? I mean, thatâs just like an old school way of doing it. And before we hooked up with you, I mean, I was printing out tax records of all out of state owners and just looking them up, calling them up, âHey, Jason, you know, I see youâve got these two duplexes over here. Howâs your management work and start talking to him and youâd get âclick.â Right? So Iâm getting away from that, so people that are not in your group, Iâm sure theyâre just old school and the ones that are losing business, arenât keeping up with the pace and the times and changing their ways.
[00:17:00] Sonia Schmitt: Hmm. I think youâre very authentic. And I think that you have a lot of direction in many years of helping property managers throughout the United States. And I think what DoorGrow does is it brings focus whereas we could be all over the board trying to get new clientele from single family homes to quad quadplexes, triplexes, for sale by owners, property managers, people are getting rentals. You know, youâd go after the rentals and after all of that. But the nice thing is, is you establish relationships and trust with real estate agents. You have a big focus with that, right? Because thatâs your honey hole. I love that word. But anyways I think that having focus and going after certain groups. Real estate agents, CPAs⊠and you can take it out further and further. I mean, in Palm beach county alone, and in Florida, I believe we have the second largest or third largest real estate realtors associations.
[00:18:13] So I think that youâre cutting edge. You stay on top of things. Youâre trying new things out. What works. Youâve tried it. Either you like it, you donât like it. If youâd like it, you pass it onto the group and then other people explore. So I think that adds a lot of value.Â
[00:18:33] Jason Hull: Cool. Yeah. Iâm just wired that I love to learn and I love sharing good ideas that I learn. And I guess that kind of just is what we do. Well, I really appreciate both of you being the program. Oh, I wanted to touch on your son, Alex. So as part, like in this journey, in working with you at some point, youâre like, âHey, letâs bring our son in on this.â
[00:18:55] And by son, you know, some people might think itâs some little kid. Heâs an adult, but heâs come into the business and itâs been rewarding for me to see him come in and be learning and stepping into new roles and doing things and getting success too. He shared a win on the call today.
[00:19:12] Now, Jon. Jon was chiming in from the background, making sure he said some of the right things being dad.Â
[00:19:19] Jon Schmitt: We received these doors this week from a realtor referral. So I was saying to him, âAlex, tell âemâÂ
[00:19:28] Jason Hull: Give credit!Â
[00:19:28] Jon Schmitt: Got them from where? And then he yells at me and says, âtheyâre not realtors.â Iâm like, Iâm not meaning what they are. Iâm meaning how you got the doors, right? So he brought one in. The lady signed up for premium. And then I brought the other one in that Sonia and Alex closed the guy. Okay. I met him through another realtor referral. And then the other appointment that I was on, I was on actually two appointments that day.
[00:19:56] And they came off of people searching us and liking the new name.Â
[00:20:03] Sonia Schmitt: RebrandingÂ
[00:20:04] Jon Schmitt: Right, they loved it, you know, the way we were branded. So thatâs why they called us.Â
[00:20:09] Jason Hull: Yeah. Weâve made a lot of changes in your business already. So in the fruit of all of those changes is going to start to really start to show up. Youâre just at the beginning of all of this, like the rebrand, the pricing, like all this. And as you build that brand in your market, and as you build that clout up, Iâm really excited to see what you guys do. I mean, over the next year, I think you guys are going to be crushing it because once you really get into a groove with this⊠I mean, the skyâs the limit. With the growth youâve had, you could easily be adding a hundred to 200 doors a year, I would imagine.Â
[00:20:39] Jon Schmitt: You know, if we stay consistent, and thatâs whatâs going to happen, thereâs no other way to go. If we stay consistent, what weâre doing and just keep doing what weâre doing. I see that as well.Â
[00:20:50] Jason Hull: Does that sound crazy to you? Like if Jon pre-DoorGrow could listen to Jon now say that, would that sound a little crazy to that guy?Â
[00:21:00] Jon Schmitt: Yes.Â
[00:21:01] Jason Hull: Like impossible? Like thereâs no fricking way, you know?
[00:21:05] Jon Schmitt: You definitely changed me. You definitely did. Thinking, my focus, everything. I mean the name, just everything. Calendly the TalkRoute, which Iâm getting rid of. I donât like it.Â
[00:21:16] Jason Hull: You donât like TalkRoute. Alright.Â
[00:21:20] Jon Schmitt: Weâll find something that works for us.Â
[00:21:22] Jason Hull: Yeah. Right, right. I mean, youâre old school sometimes. Right. So maybe just get a second phone. Right. Just get another phone, like the private phone and the public phone. Right? I donât know, but yeah. Yeah. So, well, itâs been really great having you in the program, excited to see what you guys accomplish. Anything else you think people should know about door grow or about yâall before we wrap this up?
[00:21:49] Jon Schmitt: Youâre definitely a good coach. And weâre happy with you and, um, weâre looking forward to hearing about the invitation to the in-person meeting.Â
[00:21:58] Jason Hull: Ooh. Yeah.Â
[00:21:59] Jon Schmitt: Weâre looking forward to coming over to Texas.Â
[00:22:02] Jason Hull: Yeah? Alright. Thatâll be cool.Â
[00:22:04] Sonia Schmitt: We wouldnât be where we are today, if it wasnât for you and if it wasnât for DoorGrow. That I can tell you and our business is growing exponentially and weâre very appreciative and grateful to be a part of your team.Â
[00:22:21] Jason Hull: Well, I appreciate that. Where do you think you would be? Where do you think things would be right now?Â
[00:22:27] Jon Schmitt: We would probably beâ we have a lot of investment properties of our own, so we would just be going off of that. And we would do some real estate sales and we would just, weâd probably get business here and there and weâd still be just old school, throwing out some mails every quarter. And you know, thatâs probably what weâd be doing.
[00:22:47] Jason Hull: I mean, that doesnât sound so bad. So on the personal side, what do you feel like has kind of changed like in your life? â Cause I mean, really thereâs a reason behind this business, right? Itâs so you can have the life you want.
[00:22:59] Jon Schmitt: Right. My life basically changed. Iâve got new fire in me. I feel like I just came into the business again. So, you know, when you have something new? Youâre very excited about it. So Iâm very excited every single day to see what Iâm going to make happen. Okay. Sometimes the day before follows into the next day, but thereâs always something new now popping up. So that has been created again. Itâs like, Iâm just, you know, the second week in.
[00:23:30] Jason Hull: Yeah. So you feel alive again. You know, I find entrepreneurs, we have two speeds. We feel stuck or we feel like weâre in momentum, and in momentum feels like life to us. Weâre not so worried about whether weâre happy or sad. Thatâs everybody else on the planet, but for us as entrepreneurs, itâs like, âam I in momentum? Do I feel alive and on fire and inspired? Or do I feel stuck or frustrated?â So Sonia, whatâs it been like seeing the shift in Jon, like with this?
[00:23:58] Sonia Schmitt: Itâs beautiful. Itâs absolutely beautiful. Iâll tell ya, you know, for couple of years. I think that he was burned out at work, tired. It was pretty much on my shoulders. And, um, you have made a difference in his life and like you said, he has a new spark. He has direction. He knows what heâs going to do. And he has his plan. Heâs scheduled. Thereâs a little bit of everything that youâve spoken about and taught that he has implemented into his daily routine. And you can see a difference.Â
[00:24:37] He would say that he called people before, he didnât call nobody. You know, he didnât make connections if they call him thatâs great. Heâd take it, but he was just kinda, I think he was burnt out. And you brought the spark back and we see the momentum, we see it making the bottom line difference in our lives, and weâre able to expand, looking to hire somebody. So itâs been a positive all around.Â
[00:25:04] Jason Hull: You know, property management can be a grind. It can be really hard. I mean Iâve never done it. Right. But, the feedback Iâve heard from hundreds, thousands of property managers is that this is not an easy business. It can be really difficult. Itâs as difficult as you allow it to be. Right. And business in general is hard. Running a business is hard. Entrepreneurs are under no illusionâ if theyâve run a business for even a year that itâs not an easy thing. So I think every entrepreneur has gotten to that point.
[00:25:35] I know I have where Iâm burnt out. Iâm done. I wake up and Iâm like, basically âfuck it.â Iâm watching Netflix today. Like, thatâs all Iâm doing. Like, I donât want to do it. Like Iâve had those moments and I feel like Iâm living a dream right now that I get to do what I get to do, because itâs in alignment with my âwhy.â and thatâs what I want for all of my clients. I want them to have that clarity because weâre all unique, and we all have a different purpose in life and a different thing we really want that gives us the maximum level of the four reasons as Iâve talked about on a previous episode of fulfillment, freedom, contribution, and support, and thatâs different for everybody.
[00:26:13] And I get to experience that in my business and in my day-to-day. And I want all my clients to experience that because I also want their team members to experience that. And ultimately youâre helping your clients to experience a taste of that as well. And so I think the ripple effect that I get to have through amazing clients, like you is really inspiring to me and it really motivates me to keep going. And just having clients that do what I tell them to do and get results is like super rewarding to me. So, you know I appreciate that greatly so. Well, I appreciate you being here on the #DoorGrowShow and Iâm excited to see your continued success.Â
[00:26:52] Jon Schmitt: Thanks, Jason.Â
[00:26:53] Sonia Schmitt: Thank you very much.
[00:26:55] Jason Hull: All right. So weâll go ahead and wrap up this episode. I really appreciate them taking some time out of the day to come help me plug DoorGrow so to speak. But I wanted to just share if you are property management entrepreneur that is struggling to either add doors or maybe you have hundreds of doors, but youâre really struggling to dial in the operations piece. Youâre just banging your head against the wall. Why canât my team members just think for themselves? Why do I have to micromanage them? Why canât they just do what I need them to do? The hard truth is you are not yet the entrepreneur that can run the business of your dreams, right? If you donât have the business of your dreams and the team of your dreams yet, youâre not the person that can run it yet.
[00:27:34] Thatâs what one of my mentors said to me once, and that hit me hard. And so I want to turn you into the entrepreneur that can have the business of his or her dreams and can grow it and can have that fire and have that excitement in your day to day, because you are aligned with the things you really enjoy doing. And you have direction on how to get what you really want to be doing. And youâre not stuck because being stuck sucks for entrepreneurs. Itâs really uncomfortable. Itâs frustrating. So if that sounds interesting to you, that youâre dealing withâ maybe your business it isnât in alignment, which is like branding is off and maybe your pricing isnât optimized and your website isnât optimized, or maybe youâre just not getting the growth that you want.
[00:28:20] And you want to know how to add doors without having to spend any money on advertising or doing SEO or pay-per-click or content marketing or social media marketing. And you could still outpace all the companies that are spending tons of money to do all of this. Or you want to just scale your operations, get out of the day-to-day, have more energy, more fun, more focus, more freedom, and figure out how to get a team that really supports you.
[00:28:48] I want to help you build that business and I want to help you become the entrepreneur that can have that business. So reach out to us. You can find us at doorgrow.com, and until next time, to our mutual growth. Bye everyone.
