Hello All, My name is Steve, from the Ventura area of Southern California. Recently, I was on a job doing brick pavers on a back patio and poolside, and an old high school friend was at the house servicing the pool. After he finished up we had a few moments to catch up and he was telling me about the business, and after a bit, it sounded like something I would be interested in getting into. He started by getting his CPO and spent some time studying different systems, and he ended up purchasing a pool route off of craigslist, he went from making $11.00 an hour working security to making enough to rent an actual home, purchase a new truck for work and a new personal truck, and he supports his girlfriend and their daughter completely, and he bought a boat at the beginning of summer. He is very successful, and he said it was great work, great money and hes more than happy right where hes at. I spent some time researching, and I just signed up to take my CPO course and exam next month. I figure I could use this next month to study on different pool service-related subject matter, but I must admit, I really have no idea where to start. I'm coming in a blind beginner. If anyone has some advice to offer, or any links or recommended reading prior to the CPO course I would be very grateful. I'm going to be purchasing some note pads and post-it notes for note taking, and I really want to hit this head on.
Anyways, that's my story. Thanks for reading, y'all!
