One snowy day in Ohio he knocked on the door of a Meat Plant Owner and was hired on the spot to be a "Food Plan" salesman. He stayed in this type of business until 1994 selling a variety of products and services, vacuum cleaners, cemetery plots, water conditioners, baby furniture, news stories on plaques over the phone etc.
In 1994 he started working for a carpet cleaning company in Tampa Fl making appointments for the technicians, after four months he started his own Carpet/Upholstery Cleaning Business which has grown each year for the last seven years.
In keeping with his motivation to spread the word about the carpet cleaning industry to anyone who would like to have their own business
Joseph had his first "How to" books published in 1999.
