Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock
Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock

This past week I spent some time in the field working with our customers to solve their computer problems. I LOVE going onsite because it reminds me of the good ‘ol days when I wasn’t burdened by all of the administrative garbage involved with running a business.

This past week I networked a Mac with a PC-based network for printer and file sharing, removed a ton of spyware from some Windows XP systems, installed a TON of memory, and just spent lots of time getting to know individual customers.

One of my customers this week told me about how his neighbor Charlie McBride handled the first Husker football season after Callahan took over the team. Another customer told me about how he joined his Masonic lodge while on a 5-day leave before being shipped out to the Korean War.

I’ve had a taste of the freedom of onsite computer repair, and I think I may just get my homework done early for next week so I can head out in the field a bit more. If you are having a problem with your computer and would like me to come take a look at it, give us a call in Lincoln at 423-9595 or Omaha at 934-9423.

The past three days have been a media whirlwind as I have given four media interviews and done more than an hour of radio time on the Next Internet Millionaire competition.

I want to send a very special thanks out to the staff and employees at Bryan LGH – I think you guys have the whole hospital voting for me – Lincoln’s Lighthouse, and The Lincoln Crisis Pregnancy center for supporting me through the audition process.

Over 2,000 Schrock Innovations customers have voted for my video since last Thursday, and I have been recruiting voters from the Digital Point forums all week.

All the effort is beginning to payoff, as I have moved up to second at the moment with just over 4,000 votes and a 8.8 average score. Please help me win $25,000 for some great Lincoln charities by voting my video a ’10’ at http://www.nextinternetmillionaire.com/show.php?id=1249.

If you have the time, here are some things you can do to help me do well in the first cut (they are cutting over 200 auditions down to 50 tomorrow night):

1) Set my video page as your browser’s home page and vote for me every time you open your browser window.
2) Send a quick email message to your friends and family explaining what I am trying to do and asking them to vote for me as well
3) Post some words of encouragement for me in the Next Internet Millionaire Forum.

I will post again Wednesday night/Thursday morning and let you know if I made it.
