“When first arriving at this business visit, I was surprised to find out the man who excitedly came to my car, waving and making funny faces was the owner of Padgett Building and Remodeling, Dave Padgett. His funny personality, family-oriented values, and love for his community are all distinct qualities that makes Dave thrive as a business owner. Dave gave us a valuable lesson about the importance of communication, closely managing finances, and persevering in uncertain and unexpected times. ‘Eat the frog,’ Dave said, implying that we should all tackle our problems straight on instead of waiting until it becomes an unbearable burden. Dave Padgett gave a remarkable presentation, and we thank him for teaching us lessons that go beyond the world of business.”

“Today we had the opportunity to hear from David Padgett of Padgett Building & Remodeling! David shared his experience growing and taking ownership of a family business, along with lessons on accountability, communication, financial responsibility, and planning ahead. One of his biggest points was the importance of being prepared for the unexpected, not only business losses, but also emotional losses and losing great employees. He reminded us that challenges are inevitable, so planning ahead and being prepared can make a huge difference. David also gave us great advice that we can apply to our own businesses, especially the importance of using a Client Relationship Management (CRM) system to build strong relationships and stay connected with clients. Thank you David, for sharing your experience and advice with us! “
