Just hit 500 houses in my first year and the number shocked me

I started with a small company in Boise last spring and kept a simple tally on my phone. When I checked it yesterday, I was at 502 installs. It matters because I was worried about speed, but this shows I found a good rhythm without cutting corners. Anyone else track their first year numbers and have a target they aim for?

Congrats on the huge number, that's a serious pace. My first year in solar I barely broke 300, so you're moving fast. Keeping that tally is smart, it makes the progress real. I found aiming for two installs a day kept me honest without rushing the work. Hitting a personal target like that feels better than any company quota.

Yeah, the part about a personal target feeling better than a company quota really hits home. I used to just chase whatever number the managers set, and it burned me out. Having my own smaller, daily goal like you said, that's what actually kept me going and made the work feel good. It turns the job into something you own.
