We recently connected with Ronald Fanning and have shared our conversation below.
Ronald , appreciate you joining us today. Parents play a huge role in our development as youngsters and sometimes that impact follows us into adulthood and into our lives and careers. Looking back, what’s something you think you parents did right?
Everything will fall into place
During the lowest points of my life, the reassurances from my mom always seemed to come right before my major breakthroughs. Regardless of how sticky the situation seemed to be, she never showed her panic or worry — call it a mom trait, but she saw my abilities (before I could) and believed in them (even more than I did).
Although your moments of running head first into brick walls and experiencing lengths of time where you’ll feel the world caving in aren’t over, you’ll survive — and your mom will be cheering you on as you do so.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hello, my name is Ronald! My wife and I started my dump truck company in 2019. I’ve always been interested in a trucking company because my grandfather was one of the first black dump truck entrepreneurs in the city that I’m from. I’ve been driving for a little over 3 years now. Nashville is the place for infrastructure and my service is definitely needed! I’m a very dedicated and dependable person and I believe that’s why my business is successful. I work hard to get construction companies what they need in a timely fashion in order for them to complete jobs before their deadline. I take pride in my work and I keep my word. I have seen tremendous growth within myself and my business by “doing others how I wish to be done!”
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Dedication is an important skill because it helps nurture your work ethic and can lead to success. By being dedicated to yourself and your work, you open up opportunities for growth and advancement.
With dedication I was taught discipline and passion and it helps keep me focused on a task. I becomes more motivated to see the result of the task I started on when I’m dedicated to this. In my work environment, dedication has help in opening up bigger and better job opportunities.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Word of mouth! Word of mouth statistics has proven that people trust their friends and family more than they trust advertisements and it’s very cost efficient!
