separation
for the next 2 months, I did not see sir he sent me on a tour of his businesses to get to know the people who make him rich as he says. he feels that getting to know them makes it easier to make decisions on how to run each one. he also tells me to look for and find the problems that are bothering them if possible at work and at home if possible remember thay can't give you there best if something is getting in there way. sir John came with me he is the complete opposite of sir James he stands 6'6" and is your typical seal he also is prior service and did things he can't talk about. also, he took care of that little itch I had without a problem but he made it clear it was strictly for fun so it scratched the itch but not fulfilling on the emotional side.
but this is were I learned many things about sir James and how he did business at each place he was a silent partner he would come in and invest in new equipment, not the kind that would eliminate jobs but would enable the owner to hire people and expand on average output would pay for the equipment in two years and he would show profits from that point on later I learned from him that the reason for this was simple economics in his eyes more people working more money the family made with less work. when I asked him why he bought out the security co. he said why to save 4 little girls from emotional harm and show a profit of course at the time I thought he was telling one of his little joke's I have since come to learn that sir does not joke about profits at the end of that year by moving the coordinators to work out of there homes he made them happier and that increased. you guessed it profit by the end of the year and the sale of the building we broke even from the cost of buying it and equipment needed to move all those people home. the field agents received an increase in pay and the ability to have direct contact to there bosses 24/7 this made response time in half and that made the field agents happy and that translated into an increase in agents and coordinators and of course clients to pay the bills. in three years time, we have gone from a small company to an international company.
when John and I returned to the ranch sir was on what we call his biannual trips he has been here in Colorado for 10 years and he takes these trips into the mountains where he has met a network of vets who prefer to stay away from people he makes sure they have what they need food water purifiers ammo and guns if they need them they in turn help lost hikers and call the rangers who sir says ar terribly understaffed and under-equipped for the rocky mountains. It is alright if they only have to patrol the parks for the most part but there is an incredible amount of land out there and only a handful of rangers to keep an eye on things there are thousands of mile of trails in the mountains that don't get covered if you want to smuggle things that is a pretty safe way to do it and with these guys out there keeping to the faith it seriously cut that back. they report to the rangers who follow and contact local or federal law and catch them. sir says Canada law is happy with that the mounties are even more understaffed then we are.
