Understand the motivation to get out of the cold, I moved South of the Mason Dixon line in April, 1982 from Chicago area after surviving another -26F (-80F to -100F) wind chill four day ordeal in Jan '82.
Grew up in Detroit area in a time when hockey players were mostly from the Canada and none had there front teeth - saw Gordie Howe play at the Olympia several times and met Bobby Hull in Chicago in a restaurant/bar after he retired (he was a bit intoxicated & his toupee was in a state of disarray). Detroit & Chicago luv their hockey teams. Atlanta is a fair weather hockey town and lately no one cares but they luv that NASCAR stuff.

Selling anything (especially a service) is always a challenge. I relate selling to panning for gold, the more you pan the more little nuggets you'll find. Stop panning & you'll go bankrupt. Of course panning without icicles hanging from your ear lobes makes it a bit more fun.
