https://teachhoops.com/ Phase 1: The Foundation (3-6 Months Before Camp) This is the crucial planning stage where you lay the groundwork for everything else. Define Your Camp's Identity: Niche: Is this a camp for beginners focusing on fundamentals? An elite shooting camp? A position-specific camp (e.g., for guards or post players)? Target Audience: Define your age groups (e.g., Grades 3-5, 6-8). This will dictate the curriculum, ball size, and rim height. Logistics and Legalities: Secure a Venue: Book a gymnasium well in advance. School gyms, community centers, or local sports complexes are great options. In Madison, facilities at local schools like Memorial or La Follette, or community centers like Goodman, are booked months ahead, especially for summer. Set Dates and Times: Check local school calendars (like Madison Metropolitan School District's) to avoid conflicts. Decide if it will be a half-day (e.g., 9 AM - 12 PM) or full-day (9 AM - 3 PM) camp. Get Insurance: This is non-negotiable. You must have liability insurance to protect yourself, your staff, and the facility. Create Waivers: Develop a clear liability waiver and medical release form that every camper's parent or guardian must sign. Budgeting and Pricing: List Expenses: Account for everything: gym rental fees, insurance costs, staff salaries, t-shirt printing, basketballs, first-aid supplies, and marketing costs. Set a Price: Calculate your total costs and determine a price per camper that covers expenses and provides a reasonable profit. Research what other local camps are charging to remain competitive. Now that you have a plan, you need to get campers in the door. Create Marketing Materials: Design a simple, clean flyer and social media graphic with all the essential information: camp name, dates, times, location, age groups, cost, and a link to register. Spread the Word: Digital: Post on local community Facebook groups (e.g., Madison parent groups), Instagram, and create a simple website or registration page. Grassroots: Distribute flyers at local schools, youth league games, and community centers. Email: If you have a list from previous camps or clinics, use it. Set Up Registration: Online System: Use a service like Google Forms to collect information and link to a payment method like Venmo or PayPal for simplicity. For larger camps, consider dedicated services like SportsEngine or CampMinder. Incentivize: Offer an "early bird" discount for those who sign up a month or more in advance to encourage prompt registration. This is where you plan the on-court experience. Develop a Daily Schedule: Create a detailed, hour-by-hour schedule. A balanced schedule prevents kids from getting bored and maximizes engagement. Sample Half-Day Schedule: 9:00 - 9:15: Dynamic Warm-Up & Welcome 9:15 - 10:00: Fundamental Skill Stations (e.g., ball handling, form shooting, passing) 10:00 - 10:45: Competitive Drills & Games (e.g., knockout, 1-on-1, hot shot) 10:45 - 11:00: Snack/Water Break 11:00 - 11:45: Team Concepts & Scrimmaging (3-on-3, 5-on-5) 11:45 - 12:00: Daily Awards & Dismissal Hire and Train Staff: Find Coaches: Reliable high school and college players often make great, energetic coaches. Set Expectations: Hold a pre-camp meeting to review the schedule, rules, and your coaching philosophy. Emphasize energy, positivity, and engagement. Maintain a Good Ratio: Aim for a coach-to-camper ratio of around 1:8 or 1:10 to ensure proper supervision and individual attention. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Alex about his chess journey. Alex is a teacher that picked up chess while running a chess club. His goal is 2000 Lichess and the arena grand master title. He uses daily games and tactics as the primary parts of his training. He finds that daily games help him learn openings in a more organic way than memorization. Alex will be attending his first tournament soon and we discussed his hopes and preparation for the tournament.

This Podcast Is Episode 640, And It's About How To Build Systems That Support Your Construction Business Turning the 3 Pillars—Marketing, Accounting, and Production—Into Repeatable Routines(without adding more work) You've done the hard part—you're running a construction business, getting jobs, and turning out quality work. Perhaps you've even begun to refine your marketing, job costing, and project delivery strategies, thanks to the three pillars we've discussed: Attracting the Right Jobs, Controlling the Money, and Delivering Projects Profitably. But here's the next step that will take your business from reactive to reliable, from "just getting by" to scaling sustainably: You need systems. Not paperwork piles. Not more apps. Just smart, repeatable steps that make your business more efficient—even if you're still a one-person show. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help contractors every day who are great at swinging hammers but are overwhelmed by admin. This post will show you how to build simple systems around your existing workflow, so you can run your business more smoothly, make better decisions, and free up your time. What Is a "System" Anyway? A system is simply a repeatable process that occurs consistently without requiring you to reinvent the wheel each time. It could be: A checklist An automation A template A recurring habit Or a combination of all of the above The goal is predictability—so your business can function smoothly whether you're at a job site or taking a day off (yes, that's allowed!). Why Small Construction Businesses Need Systems You might be thinking, "I'm not a big company—I don't need systems." But the truth is, you need them even more. Why? Because without systems: Every invoice is different Every client interaction takes extra effort You forgot to track your hours or materials You lose receipts or miss billing for change orders You're constantly reacting instead of planning The right systems save you time, reduce stress, and increase your profitability. And they don't have to be complicated. System #1: A Simple Lead-to-Job Process The Problem: You get an inquiry, scribble notes on paper, forget to follow up, or lose track of what was discussed. Sound familiar? The System: Create a basic lead intake form (Google Form, CRM tool, or paper checklist) Pre-qualify leads with a few standard questions: Project type, location, timeline, budget Save all client information in one place (e.g., Google Sheet, Notion, Trello). Use a standard estimate template so every quote includes: Scope Pricing Timeline Payment terms Send a welcome email template after a job is accepted (include next steps, policies, and what to expect) Bookkeeper's Tip: Keeping track of leads and estimates helps you compare projected vs. actual profits, so you can learn which jobs are truly worth your time. System #2: A Weekly Money Routine The Problem: You're too busy to check the books, so you don't know if you're making or losing money until tax time. The System: Set aside 30–60 minutes each week to review your finances: Reconcile transactions (or send to your bookkeeper) Check outstanding invoices Follow up on late payments Log hours worked and materials used (by job) Review your cash flow forecast for the next two weeks Even if you outsource the bookkeeping, your weekly check-in keeps you in control. Make it part of your Friday routine, just like packing up your tools. Bookkeeper's Tip: We can set up automated reports to send you a cash flow summary, job costing update, or overdue invoice list via email each week—no extra work on your end. System #3: Job Costing and Change Order Tracking The Problem: You think you're making money on jobs, but in the end, you can't say for sure, and you might've given away work for free. The System: Use a spreadsheet or job costing software (like QuickBooks Projects or Buildertrend) Track: Labor (hours × rate) Materials (receipts, delivery invoices) Subcontractors Permits, rentals, and other direct costs Add a simple change order log to each job file Description, date, price, status (pending/approved) Get approval before starting extra work   Bookkeeper's Tip: When you track jobs this way, we can help you compare estimated vs. actual costs and margins—so your future quotes get sharper and more profitable. System #4: Project Timeline & Client Communication The Problem: Clients get anxious when they don't hear from you, and scope creep happens when there's no clear plan. The System: Break each project into 3–5 major phases (demo, framing, finish work, etc.) Assign rough start/end dates Use a whiteboard, app, or calendar to stay on track Send weekly updates to clients (template email or quick text summary) "Here's what we completed this week… Here's what's next…" Bookkeeper's Tip: When jobs stay on schedule, you're more likely to invoice on time and get paid faster, which improves your cash flow. System #5: Receipts, Invoices, and Tax Readiness The Problem: You have a shoebox full of receipts and scramble to find documents when tax season rolls around. The System: Use a digital system like Dext, Hubdoc, or even a shared Dropbox folder Snap photos of receipts as you go—tag them with the project name Save estimates, signed contracts, and change orders in organized folders Send invoices promptly at milestones (use progress billing templates) Review reports monthly with your bookkeeper (Profit & Loss, Job Profitability, etc.) Bookkeeper's Tip: With clean books and digital records, tax time is painless—and you'll never miss a deduction. The Myth of "More Work" The biggest myth about systems is that they add more to your plate. In reality, they save you time and stress by preventing confusion, wasted effort, and missed revenue. Stop rewriting the same emails Stop digging for info buried in texts Stop guessing at prices or costs Stop forgetting to bill for work you did With systems in place, your business becomes predictable, profitable, and easier to manage—even as you grow. Ready to Systemize Your Construction Business? You don't have to figure this all out on your own. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help small contractors establish and maintain systems that align with their workflow. Whether it's: Automating job costing Simplifying invoicing Organizing digital receipts Reviewing job margins Or building custom templates We'll help you take the guesswork out of your money—and give you back control of your time. Let's identify one or two areas in your business where a system could save you hours (and dollars) every week. You build homes. We'll help you build the business behind them.

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Alexander. We had a great chat about his massive rating improvement, 800 points in 8 months. Alexander talked about his organic approach to learning. He has taken in a lot of content on Youtube, played online chess, and played many training games. Alexander attributes some of his success to his “chess team” that crafts opening traps and plans to get an advantage. In shocking news, he doesn't spend much time on tactics. We also talked about topics such as going to college at 15, mastering the piano, getting mistaken for a kid, and his tournament experiences.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette is interviewed by Macus Burnette to introduce "WP Trail Buddies," Michelle's initiative to help newcomers at large WordCamp events feel welcome and connected. The program pairs first-time attendees with experienced veterans for mentorship and support, easing anxiety and fostering community. Michelle shares her own WordCamp experiences, explains how the free, volunteer-driven project works, and discusses the broader importance of mentorship in the WordPress community. The conversation highlights the value of inclusion, friendship, and support, encouraging listeners to join and help make WordCamps more accessible for everyone.Top Takeaways:WP Trail Buddies Is a Volunteer-Led Mentorship Program: Michelle Frechette created WP Trail Buddies as a free, volunteer-based initiative to pair WordCamp veterans with newcomers to help them feel more comfortable at large flagship events like WordCamp US. The program is powered by free tools like Google Forms and WordPress.com, and even includes GDPR-compliant data practices. Although unsponsored, some organizations like Newfold have volunteered to provide swag like stickers and pins.The Focus Is on Flagship and Large WordCamps—for Now: Due to Michelle managing the project solo, WP Trail Buddies is currently limited to larger WordCamps (typically 250+ attendees). While open to expanding to other events in the future—like WordCamp Canada—the priority is on keeping things manageable and scalable. She's open to conversations with other camps that may want to adopt the model.WordCamps Are About Community and Belonging: Michelle emphasized how transformative WordCamps have been for her personally—from knowing no one at her first WordCamp Buffalo to attending nearly 100 events and mentoring others. She and Marcus both stressed that the true value of WordCamps lies in the friendships, mentorship, and support network built over time. Programs like Trail Buddies help foster this sense of inclusion from the start.Mentioned In The Show:WP Trail BuddiesWPIncludes.meThe WP World

This episode of The Growth Minded Accountant hosted by Lee Reams II, focuses on building a "Referral Growth Engine That Runs Itself." It emphasizes that referrals are the most profitable lead source and can be generated through a repeatable process using existing tools like an inbox and calendar, without needing ads or AI.The podcast outlines a 4-part "Referral Blueprint Framework":Trigger the Ask: Identify optimal times to ask for referrals, such as after a client signs their return, experiences a financial win, during quarterly reviews, upon onboarding completion, or after providing positive feedback. A "Trigger Tracker" (e.g., a shared Google Sheet) can help teams identify these moments.Make Referrals Easy: Create a simple referral page or form (e.g., Google Forms, Calendly) and provide clients with easy-to-share copy for emails or texts.Say Thank You: Acknowledge every referral with a personal email, small gift (e.g., eGift card), handwritten note, or public recognition.Track and Repeat: Use a simple Google Sheet to track referrers, referral names, dates, outcomes, and rewards sent.The episode also highlights getting the team involved by training them to recognize referral triggers and making it fun with shout-outs, internal bonuses, and leaderboards. The host provides a 5-day checklist to launch this system.

By now, we've talked a lot about moving from being an implementer to someone who empowers others. You've started offering supportive services and built out a design system to help teams move faster. But if we're serious about scaling UX across an organization, we need to go even further.We need to make sure people have access to the right tools.Because even with a design system, your colleagues won't be able to do much UX work unless they have the means to run surveys, test ideas, analyze user behavior, or check accessibility. And if they're left to figure that out on their own, they'll waste time, pick poor tools, or give up altogether.Why a UX Tool Suite MattersIf you want your colleagues to take on more UX tasks themselves, you can't just leave them to it. You have to make it easy.Providing a pre-approved, easy-to-access set of tools helps in several ways:Saves time: No more researching dozens of survey platforms or testing toolsEnsures quality: You know the tools work and produce reliable resultsMakes training easier: Everyone is using the same toolset, so onboarding is simplerImproves collaboration: Results are more consistent, making it easier to share and interpret findingsYou're not just giving people tools. You're removing friction. And that makes adoption of UX practices far more likely.What Tools Should You Include?There's no single "perfect" toolkit. What works for one team may not work for another. But in general, you'll want to support the following areas:User ResearchSurveys, polls, and feedback tools. Things like Typeform, Google Forms, or UserTesting for more in-depth work.Data VisualizationTools to create personas, journey maps, or visualize research insights. Miro, UXPressia, or Figma's FigJam are good options here.Usability TestingRemote or in-person tools like Lookback, Maze, or even moderated sessions using Zoom and screen sharing.PrototypingFigma is the go-to for many teams, but simpler tools like Balsamiq might be better for beginners. Adobe XD or Axure offer more advanced options. Pick what fits your team's needs and existing skills.AnalyticsHeatmaps and behavior tracking via tools like Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or Google Analytics.AccessibilityBasic checks can be done with free tools like Axe DevTools, WAVE, or Siteimprove.It doesn't matter whether you go with an all-in-one platform or mix-and-match a few niche tools. The important thing is that the tools are:Easy to learnAlready availableApproved through procurementClearly documented, ideally with how-to guides or short trainingMake It Easy to Say "Yes"The best way to roll out a toolkit is to make it dead simple for people to start using it. That might mean:A Notion page listing your approved tools, with links and login infoA 15-minute intro video explaining what each tool doesTemplates for common tasks (like a usability testing plan or survey structure)Short drop-in training sessions to help people get startedWhen you lower the activation energy, you increase adoption. It's that simple.You're Not Just Providing Tools. You're Shaping BehaviorThis isn't just about giving people tools. It's about shaping a new culture.By equipping others, you're embedding UX into their daily practice. You're helping them build good habits. And you're removing one more excuse for not putting users first.It's one of the clearest ways to expand your influence without burning out.Outie's AsideIf you run a freelance practice or agency, this applies just as much to you. But in your case, your "colleagues" are your clients.Most clients want to do the right thing. They just don't know how. By giving them a simple toolkit, you make it easier for them to run with your ideas even after the project is done.Here's what that could look like:Provide a shortlist of free or low-cost research tools they can use between engagementsCreate a reusable testing script they can adaptOffer a client dashboard (Notion, Trello, or similar) that links to helpful resourcesRecord a short Loom video showing them how to run a simple usability testThat small investment makes you more valuable and deepens the relationship. It shows you're thinking long-term. Not just about the deliverables, but about their ongoing success.Curating a suite of UX tools might seem like a small step, but it can have a huge impact. When you remove the guesswork and make it easy for people to do good UX work, you unlock progress across the whole organization.It's one more way you move from being the person who does UX to the person who enables it.In the next lesson, we'll look at creating a preferred supplier list - another essential resource that helps your colleagues stay on track, even when you're not in the room.

In this episode of Positive Philter, I sit down with my fraternity brother, Frank Bonner, for a candid discussion on the topic of reclamation within Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. We explore the reasons why some brothers struggle with sustained engagement and the barriers to bringing them back into active participation. While our conversation centers on Alpha, these issues are relevant to many service-based organizations working to re-engage and retain members. Through personal experiences and reflections, we examine how organizations can better support long-term involvement and active membership. This is an open and honest conversation that reflects our personal perspectives and in no way represents the official views of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on member engagement and organizational sustainability.
