This is the clipper blade day at this year’s Sharpeners Jam. Bonnie with Bonika Shears taught an excellent class on basic clipper blade sharpening, and now Jason Sturm with The Edge Pro is up teaching on clipper repair for the remainder of the day. #sharpenersjam

Convenience will never die. The more that you can satisfy your customers need for convenience, whatever it is…what they want, where they want, and when they want it. That commercial opportunity will never go away. #businessadvice

One of the toughest things to do when scheduling my mobile sharpening routes is coinciding my time with mobile groomers. 😁

@hankgreen Sounds like “urine” trouble. 😜

[jimsharp @jimsharp]

Anything you’re working on achieving starts in your head. What does your self-talk, self-visualization, and self-determination sound like in your head? You can’t control everything, but 90% of achievement starts between your ears. #cutupwithme #business #Entrepreneurship

The market can remain unreasonable longer than you remain solvent. #cutupwithme #investing #trading

@thinkorswim Thank you. Appreciate the note. I’ll check back later. Have a good morning.

[jimsharp @jimsharp]

@thinkorswim Good morning...what is going on with the TOS platform this morning? I can’t log on with my computer or cell phone.

[jimsharp @jimsharp]

@united And your customer service manager just hung up on me because I said that policy is a 4 letter word. ;) Good job.

[jimsharp @jimsharp]

Howdy there @united. I’ll be flying with you tomorrow but was surprised to find I couldn’t check in online because I booked basic & travel light (backpack) to avoid extra fees like your $30/ bag fee. If that’s standard practice for you, this will be the last time I fly with you.
