Tell us about your background and how you came to be where you are now.

I started my handyman business back in 2011 and was a complete novice when it came to business. But, I was determined to learn because I didn’t want to have to go back and get another 9-5.

So, I invested in learning sales and marketing from other industries since the stuff for handyman and contractors seemed outdated. I applied and tested these strategies in my own handyman business, and got great results and quickly had a full schedule while charging a premium.

Since, I’ve continued to learn, but I’ve turned a lot of my focus to helping other handymen and contractors through online training, so they can apply these strategies to grow their profits.

This article was written in late September 2016 in response to a trend we see all across the USA including Alaska and Hawaii. It is likely happening everywhere in the world.

When the world economy collapsed beginning in 2008, a lot of companies went out of business, and one of the hardest hit sectors was construction. Thousands of bookkeepers were suddenly out of a job, and many of them began to freelance taking on a few clients in order to pay rent and keep food on the table.

As the economy continues to improve a lot of them are finding jobs with contractors like you because of the security that comes with having a stable income. The problem is they have been accustomed to having lots of free time during office hours to chat on their cell phones, surf the web, spend time on Facebook and other social media sites; not buckling down and getting work done, right and on time.

In addition, most of them have not kept up with the advances in Construction Accounting Technology let alone keeping the construction bookkeeping skills updated.

What happens when he or she realizes they were earning $30 an hour as a freelance bookkeeper and now they are slaving away in your cramped office with no snacks, beverages, using outdated hardware and software for $10 an hour?

You Started Your Cоnѕtruсtіоn Company, And Now You Need Tools, Equipment, Trucks, And Vans And You Are Dismayed By What Everything Costs!

The соѕt of ѕtаrtіng a Cоnѕtruсtіоn business саn be daunting and scary, tо ѕау thе least. Nо mаttеr whісh part of this wide wonderful іnduѕtrу you choose or hоw profitable іt may bе, еvery Contractor fасеѕ the same оbѕtасlеѕ fоr асԛuіrіng hand tools, power tools, truсkѕ, vans and heavy equipment.

Considering the retail cost of properly outfitting one work van with the tools and equipment to open a skilled trade business like Plumber, Electrician, HVAC, Carpenter, Framer, Drywaller, Flooring, Roofer or any of the other dozens of skilled trades can cost over $25,000 then wouldn't it make sense to save money where you can?

Construction Contractors Have Experienced The Worst Economic Times In The Past 100 Years And Now That You Are Getting Busy You Cannot Find A Decent Reliable Bookkeeper

Four Things Contractors Are Saying About Bookkeepers:

#3 I've hired four of them in the past few years and none of them have a clue about what I do as a contractor!

What Separates Wealthy Contractors From Poor Contractors

• It's not lack of opportunities to bid jobs or get leads because getting leads is easy
• It's not lack of ambition because every contractor I know is strong and ready to get busy
• It's not lack of intelligence or the ability to develop a production method and follow it to the end
• It's not lack of money because if you follow my method you know how to overcome that, just use O.P.M.

The Answers Are Simple, But Not Easy

• Wealthy Contractors begin with the end in mind and knowing what to do
• Wealthy Contractors know who they are and what they believe to be true
• Wealthy Contractors know what type of Contracting they are good at doing
• Wealthy Contractors know how to generate more leads than they can handle

Do You Want To Know How They Found The Answers?

You started your Construction Company, Handyman Business, House Builder, Specialty Contractor or another form of contracting because you wanted to be your own boss, make a lot of money and enjoy some personal freedom.

Then You Hired A Construction Worker And Something Went Horribly Wrong!

All Accounting Is Not Created Equal

Have you ever compared your QuickBooks Profit & Loss Report to your annual Income Tax Return and scratched your head trying to figure out why the numbers are so different? If you have, you are not alone because there are two different types of Accounting, and they serve two different purposes.

                 Internal Accounting                                            External Accounting

     Focused On The Needs Of The Contractor                                   Focused On The Needs Of The Tax Return

As the economy is improving in mid-2016 we are seeing a disturbing trend of Business Consultants asking Contractors to make them a part owner of their Construction Companies in exchange for their services.

I had seen this nightmare come to life several times beginning in the 1970's when I started my Construction Company. It usually happens just as the economy starts to improve and demand for construction services is far greater than the supply of Contractors to fill the need.

There are a lot of seminars being put on by less than honest people promoting Get-Rich-Quick-Schemes for Business Consultants to take advantage of honest hard working contractors!There Are Several Parts To This Scam:

• They Make You Think They Know More About Running Your Business Than You Do
• They Want You To Pay For A Life Insurance Policy Naming Them Beneficiary
• They Have A Network Of People Who Need Work Done At Low Rates And Provide Kick-Backs
  
• They Slowly Get Control Of Your Construction Company And Work You To Death LITERALLY!
