On a personal note: I am currently in Puerto Rico recharging my batteries. But, I know myself, and I am sure I'll be looking for Home Watch while there. If I do talk to somebody about the NHWA...it's a BUSINESS TRIP!

Much success,

Home Watch Service Plus of Amelia Island

Dave Carter and Rick Mowery

Dave Carter is a genius. A successful veteran of the business world, Dave approached me with his vision for Home Watch Service PLUS last year. He purchased a start-up guide from the NHWA and used the information from it (along with many spit-balling sessions with me on the phone) and combined it with his plan. What he has created is a well-laid-out, franchise-able Home Watch business. The first Home Watch Service PLUS is located on Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, FL. Offering 100-plus services for homeowners, property managers and mortgage lenders, the Amelia Island location is managed by Rick Mowery. Rick is a maintenance expert with over 15 years experience. HWSP of Amelia Island serves Nassau County, Florida and Camden County, Georgia. Its property preservation program serves Nassau and Duval Counties in Florida, and all of Southeast Georgia. Please visit www.hwsplus.com/Amelia for more information. The NHWA would like to congratulate Dave and Rick on their accreditation and acceptance in our Association.

We are ready to announce new members in Delaware, Tennessee, Florida and Massachusetts in upcoming blogs. Until then, I wish you


Much success,


Jack

My inspiration....

You may have noticed a recent lack of blogging, or that our new website is not yet live, and might be wondering why. The answer is that I have been taking care of Chris, my wife and partner of 30 years. Chris lost her 15 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis on April the 16th. Chris endured a long, painful and terrible existence that took away her movement and physical abilities, but not her sense of humor, spirit or will to live. Her strength and courage has inspired me to persevere in so many situations that I thought were hopeless or too much trouble. She never gave up: no matter the pain or indignities she suffered daily. And so, I am recommitting and rededicating my energy, spirit and time to the National Home Watch Association. Chris was very proud of the NHWA and what it stands for. She was proud of me for creating it, and the strides being taken to better our industry. I know that if I put forth even half the effort that she gave everyday in order to survive, the NHWA will become what she and I envisioned it to be. Her memory will always inspire me to succeed. As always, I wish you 

Much success,

Jack
