11 years already since starting Equipment Capital Corp. it has been one hell of a ride.
I never knew where it would go and it was harder at start than I anticipated but realized after leaving the last place I worked, I never wanted to work for someone else again, as I will never comprise my principles.
I would rather do what is right than just lining my pockets. I would rather work with integrity and be able to look at myself in the mirror. I would rather be outspoken and speak my truth and it has served me well. I have been unapologetically me which is direct, blunt and brash many times and offensive to some. I don’t believe in sugar coating BS.
By doing the right thing I have built a loyal client base and run very high repeat business. It has provided me a very good life.
I don’t pressure clients in signing. Heck I don’t even call existing clients to try and find more business since I hated getting those 10 or 20 calls a week when I was CFO from finance guys. I will always respond to clients or potential clients when they reach out and I am always accessible to them to help till the deal is finished or even after. I believe in providing full disclosure including the amortization schedule for a deal.
I have gotten rid of many ungrateful clients and passed on deals when clients lacked honesty. That is the beauty of working for yourself, I get to choose who to work with. Maybe I had made less money at times because of it but you can’t put a price on mindset and your mental health.
How long do I continue? Honestly I don’t know right now. I love the clients I deal with but the industry is not what it used to be and needs an overhaul in my opinion. There are too many snake oil salesmen worried about lining their pocket rather than doing what is right for the client. Then you look at the fraud and all the other stuff just adds to the headaches.
I thank all the clients that deal with us, our referral partners and thank our lending partners as it would not be possible without you. I am extremely grateful to all of you.
