This Podcast Is Episode 647, And It's About FEA Contractor Success MAP Podcast Farewell Episode   Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Contractor Success MAP Podcast. I know it's been a while, but I didn't forget you. This is Norhalma, and today I'm here with a message that feels both bittersweet and full of hope. After more than a decade of serving contractors through Fast Easy Accounting… after countless conversations, resources, templates, job costing tips, and systems… today's episode marks the closing of a chapter — and the beginning of a brand-new one. This will be my final episode under the FEA Contractor Success MAP Podcast. But it is not the end of this journey. It is simply the next step forward. Whether you've been a long-time listener since Randal started this podcast, tuned in last year when I took over, or this is your first time, I want you to hear this message clearly and personally. Today is about gratitude, transition, and what comes next in 2026. First, thank you. Truly. To everyone who has listened over the years: Thank you for showing up. Thank you for learning, for growing, for improving your business, and for caring enough about your future to invest time in education. Contractors are the backbone of every community. You build the world around us — homes, roads, businesses, and safe spaces for families. Your work deserves tools and systems that support your success. Through the years, this podcast has tried to give you precisely that: Better job costing better bookkeeping habits better business clarity better workflows and practical steps to run a more profitable company And it has been an honor to be part of that journey. Why is this transition happening now? Fast Easy Accounting has reached the end of its chapter. The business is closing, and with it, the FEA-branded podcast comes to a natural end. At the same time, contractors' needs have evolved. Ten years ago, the most significant questions were: "How do I job cost properly?" "How do I keep my books clean?" "How do I avoid cash flow surprises?" Today, contractors ask: "How do I get better leads?" "How do I keep track of my quotes and jobs?" "Do I need a website?" "How do I manage all the digital tools?" "How do I make my business run smoother without working 80 hours a week?" The world changed. The industry changed. And the way contractors run their companies has changed. That's why I'm shifting my work into something new — something built for the modern contractor. Introducing Cobuildery – launching in 2026 Cobuildery is my new brand and focus. It's designed to help contractors build not just projects… but systems that support their entire business. Cobuildery will focus on: Contractor Websites Professional, clean, mobile-friendly sites that actually bring in leads — not just sit online. Website Care & Monthly Maintenance Plans Most contractors don't have the time or desire to deal with updates, plugins, hosting issues, or security. Contractor OBM (Online Business Manager) Services Ongoing support to help you handle: digital organization lead tracking communication systems workflows scheduling tools templates business structure This is the back-office support many contractors wish they had—and can now access. What happens to the podcast? This is not truly a goodbye. Instead, it's a pause. In 2026, the podcast will return — under the Cobuildery name. It will still be focused on contractor success, but with new topics that match what contractors need today: How to set up a contractor website that actually converts How to organize your digital tools How to track jobs without chaos How to simplify the business side How to market your contracting business How to build systems that save time and increase profit Same heart. Same mission. New tools. New energy. New chapter. If you've loved this podcast, you'll feel at home when we reopen in 2026. A message to long-time listeners. Some of you have been here since the earliest years of FEA. You've been through slow seasons, busy seasons, business transitions, challenges, and growth. And you've trusted this podcast to walk alongside you. I want you to know that trust means the world to me. You are the reason this podcast exists. You are the reason the next chapter exists. And I hope you'll join me when Cobuildery launches. What you can do next. If you want updates when the new Cobuildery podcast launches in 2026: Stay subscribed — the feed will update when the new show begins. Follow the launch of Cobuildery next year — especially if you need help with website setup, digital systems, or OBM support. I am not leaving the industry. I am simply shifting into a space where I can help contractors more powerfully and sustainably.   Bookkeeping services will not be offered at this time. However, the QuickBooks Online service specifically for contractors will be reintroduced. If you've relied on our bookkeeping support in the past, please know that while this part of the business is closing for now, the QuickBooks Online solutions tailored for contractors will be available again as part of the Cobuildery relaunch.

#674: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter R stands for Real Estate. This episode originally aired in May 2022, but the insights on long-distance investing remain just as relevant for anyone feeling priced out of their local market. We tackle the five biggest challenges of investing far from home – from fear of the unknown to managing contractors remotely – and reveal four compelling benefits that make it worth the effort, especially when you're competing in markets where million-dollar properties are the norm. ________ Remember when inflation was high and rates were rising? What were people saying about real estate back then? And with the benefit of hindsight, how much of what we thought at the time proved to be correct? If you feel unsettled, join the club. At this present moment – December 2025 – interest rates are falling, but not enough. Inflation is mostly under control, but not enough. The noise makes everything feel new. When you only see the present moment, everything looks obvious. When you remember the past, patterns start to show. That's why we're rewinding the clock back to May 2022 – when interest rates were rising and inflation was near its peak. So what was on our mind three years ago? We start with the basics. Why the Federal Reserve raises rates. What higher borrowing costs do to spending. Why falling stock prices often reflect fear – not proof that housing prices must fall next. We explain the difference between recession and deflation, and why the two are often confused. We walk through what made the housing market in 2022 different from 2008. Inventory was tight. Builders had not overbuilt. Many homeowners held fixed-rate mortgages and record levels of equity. Those conditions mattered then. They still matter now. That equity becomes the next focus. We talk about cash-out refinances, HELOCs, and reverse mortgages – and what happens when homeowners borrow against rising values. You hear how higher rates can slow borrowing, why that matters for inflation, and what risks appear if some borrowers struggle to repay. From there, we outline four ways investors might encounter properties if foreclosures rise: bank-owned homes, short sales, “subject to” deals, and wraparound mortgages. The episode then shifts to long-distance real estate investing. You hear the real challenges. Fear of the unknown. Managing people you cannot see. Contractors who disappear. Agents who stop returning calls. You also hear what makes distance workable: education, relationships, local investor networks. We walk through how investors think when conditions feel unstable — and why looking backward sharpens how you see what comes next.

And you should be doing it at a much higher rate because the scope is changing."- Khalil Benalioulhaj"You're setting the standard for your culture based on what you accept in your business.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Sam Preston, CEO of Service Scalers, to break down one of the most overlooked (and misunderstood) marketing channels in home services: Nextdoor.They unpack why Nextdoor feels annoying—but works incredibly well when used the right way. From neighborhood recommendation posts to organic storytelling, this platform behaves less like Google Ads and more like a digital referral engine.John and Sam discuss why salesy ads and coupons usually flop, while real-world job photos, personal narratives, and community-driven content quietly generate high-intent leads. They also explore how small operators are winning big by treating Nextdoor like a mix of Google Business Profile + Facebook Groups, and why larger companies struggle to replicate that authenticity.The conversation covers the three ways to win on Nextdoor (ads, organic posting, and commenting), common mistakes contractors make, and how operators can turn technicians into content creators to scale neighborhood trust—without blowing up their marketing budget.If you're looking for more phone calls, higher close rates, and marketing that actually feels like referrals—this episode breaks down how to think about Nextdoor the right way.What You'll LearnWhy Nextdoor behaves more like referrals than traditional lead genThe three ways to market on Nextdoor (and which ones actually work)Why organic, narrative posts outperform coupons and adsHow small, local operators beat larger brands on trustThe role of social proof in neighborhood-driven platformsHow to turn field techs into authentic content creatorsThe biggest mistakes that get contractors ignored—or kicked offHost: John WilsonGuest: Sam Preston

Year-end means 1099 season. Dr. Friday explains who should get a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC and why Form W-9 is so important. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Very soon we need to be issuing our 1099 miscellaneous or 1099 NECs for anyone that provided services for us. That would include all of you that have rental properties—your lawn man, your repairman, your handyman, your roofer. If he’s an LLC—anyone that is operating as LLCs or partnerships or sole proprietors—the only person we do not 1099 is if their company has an Inc.

Reach Out Via Text!In this episode of the Growing Green Podcast, Jeremiah shares a full keynote from January 2025 featuring Mark Bradley from the Roadmap to $1M online event. Mark explains why most contractors never reach $1M in revenue, starting with a lack of true financial awareness and control of the numbers. He walks through the importance of budgeting, estimating correctly, and job costing so business owners know exactly where profit is made or lost. Mark also breaks down why systems and SOPs are a continuous process and how documenting what success looks like makes hiring, training, and scaling far more manageable. The conversation highlights the importance of focusing on high margin services and revenue per hour rather than chasing all revenue. The keynote wraps with practical guidance on sales pipelines, key performance indicators, and what fundamentally changes when a business grows from $1M to $3M.Support the show 10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcast Signup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signup Book A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcast Lawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/ The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/ Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.com Growing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

Send us a textA massive heart attack at 2 a.m., a choice to stay, and a vow to be useful—John Stewart Hill turned a brush with death into a movement that protects homeowners and celebrates great tradespeople. I sat down with John, founder and chief ambassador of The Good Contractors List, to unpack how a third-party guarantee and serious vetting can transform an anxious, two-way agreement into a safer, more respectful partnership.John walks us through the early days—selling coupons, carrying a yellow legal pad, and pitching a radical promise: we'll separate the good from the bad, and if the job goes wrong, we'll pay up to $25,000 to make it right. That pledge forced rigor: FBI-level background checks, pattern-spotting across business entities, and zero tolerance for rudeness or bait-and-switch tactics. We get real about why “buck in a truck” shops often lack resources to fix issues, how mega contractors can over-incentivize upsells, and why the competency-rich middle is where value, safety, and honesty meet.What makes this model stick is community. Contractors refer fellow pros they trust, hold each other accountable, and create local “safe contractor communities” that homeowners return to for roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and beyond. The result is collective authority: a network built on behavior, not hype, where the guarantee and mediation keep projects on track when delays or surprises appear. In a post-COVID, AI-noise world, verifiable action beats loud claims—and this platform's small out-of-pocket history across billions in backed work speaks for itself.If you're a homeowner who wants peace of mind or a contractor who runs on integrity, this conversation shows how to raise the bar and rebuild trust where it matters most: at home. Explore the network, refer a contractor, or join the community at thegoodcontractorslist.com. Enjoyed the story? Follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more people find trustworthy help.Thanks for listening.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, we have Ryan Atencio, a former Army Special Operations veteran turned government contracting insider, to break down how federal contracts actually get created, evaluated, and awarded. Drawing from years spent as the end user, COR, and technical evaluator, Ryan pulls back the curtain on why supplies move faster than services, why construction is the most dangerous lane for small businesses, and how contractors can win by understanding how customers think—not how solicitations are written. Key Takeaways Supplies are the fastest, lowest-friction path to federal revenue Professional services offer scale without construction risk You don't need product expertise—just access to the customer If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: https://www.encore-funding.com/

Why Your Subs Aren't Showing Up  And How to Fix It FastIf you're tired of subs ghosting your job sites or slowing down your projects, this episode is going to change the way you run your business. Here's the truth most contractors never hear: your subs aren't unreliable… they're uncoordinated. And without structure, follow-through, and constant reminders, even the best subs end up operating like a herd of distracted cats.In this episode, I break down the real reason subs miss deadlines, show up late, or forget your projects altogether and it has nothing to do with laziness. You'll learn how schedules shift daily, why subs get pulled in every direction, and how proactive communication turns inconsistency into reliability.Most important, you'll discover why you shouldn't be the one chasing subs, sending reminders, or juggling schedule changes and how a remote project coordinator can take that entire burden off your shoulders.Inside this episode: • Why subs forget your job (and why it's not personal) • How daily schedule changes create chaos behind the scenes • The communication gaps destroying your timelines • What happens when you stop coordinating and subs start deciding • How a remote project coordinator keeps every job moving on time • The mindset shift that helps you take back control of your projectsIf you're ready to stop letting subs run your schedule and start running a business that moves forward every day—whether you're on the job or not—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Aizik Zimerman of Jay Blanton Plumbing (Chicago) to break down the remote staffing playbook that most home service operators still aren't using.John and Aizik start with a real-world story from a contractor event—how one company allegedly went from $0 to $6M using yard signs, and how Aizik tested it immediately (including the “don't put them on every corner” lesson).Then they go deep on what actually drives scale: building a remote-first, offshore-heavy team that works in the real world. Aizik shares how his business grew to 140 employees with 50+ overseas team members, and how he structures offshore hiring across accounting, install coordination, marketing, recruiting, dispatch, and fleet coordination.They break down the “hub and spoke” model: keep your US leaders focused on thinking and decision-making, then build specialized offshore roles to handle execution—so your business moves faster without bloating payroll.If you're trying to expand coverage, build specialization early, or you've wondered whether recruiting + dispatch + ops coordination can really be offshored, this episode is the blueprint.What You'll LearnWhy “if it can be done remote, it can be done from anywhere”The hub & spoke model: US leaders + offshore execution podsHow Aizik offshores technician recruiting (and why it's a massive unlock)Which roles are easiest vs hardest to offshore (CSR vs dispatch/install coordination)How to reduce “overemployment” risk with real systems (Zoom rooms, accountability layers)Why you should default to remote-first hiring at any size—even at $500K/year

Most project problems don't start on the job site. They start much earlier, when assumptions are made, roles aren't defined, and everyone thinks someone else is handling it. In this episode, Cheryl and Liz talk through why setting the stage before working with a contractor is one of the most important leadership moves a designer can make. You are not micromanaging or crossing lines, but instead establishing expectations and defining the individual responsibilities so the designer, the contractor, and the client are all working toward the same outcome. Clients don't know how this process works unless you show them. Contractors don't know your role unless you define it. And if you're not in the conversation, you can't protect the design.Have a question--click here to ask us.RESOURCE LINKS:Damn Good Workshops - WebsiteOur new Damn Good Workshops started October 8!
