As the “Operations Manager” I'm just about running the show with ensuring jobs are scheduled, done, and coordinated – as well as doing them myself. I am willing to bring on anyone that sells me their time and I am willing to make sure they feel their efforts are worth it. But his conservative mindset…can it be changed?

I just don't know…
