Handymen typically accept various forms of payment for their services to accommodate the preferences and convenience of their clients. Here are some common forms of accepting payment: 1. Cash: Cash payments are straightforward and immediate. Many handymen prefer cash payments as they are easy to handle and don't involve transaction fees. 2. Checks: Some clients prefer to pay by personal or business checks. Handymen may accept checks but usually wait for them to clear before considering the job complete. 3. Credit/Debit Cards: Accepting credit or debit card payments allows handymen to offer convenient payment options to their clients. This can be done through mobile card readers or online payment processing services. 4. Online Payment Platforms: Handymen can utilize online payment platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash, or other similar services to receive payments electronically. 5. Bank Transfers: Clients may opt to make direct bank transfers to the handyman's account. This method can be convenient for both parties, especially for larger transactions. 6. Payment Apps: Mobile payment apps like Zelle, Google Pay, or Apple Pay provide another convenient option for transferring funds securely. 7. Invoice and Payment Terms: Some handymen may work with clients on invoicing and payment terms, allowing for installment payments or setting up payment plans for larger projects. 8. Bartering: In some cases, handymen might accept goods or services in exchange for their work. This could involve trading services with other professionals or accepting goods as payment. It's essential for handymen to communicate clearly with their clients about their preferred payment methods and any associated fees or terms. Additionally, using written contracts or agreements can help ensure clarity regarding payment expectations for both parties.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 528, And It's About Construction Accounting Concepts You Can Benefit From Today As a small business owner, you know that managing your finances is crucial to the success of your business. But with so many accounting principles and practices, it can be challenging to know where to start. That's where we come in! This guide will break down the essential accounting principles that every small construction business owner should know. We'll discuss how these principles can help you keep track of financial transactions, create accurate financial statements, and make informed decisions for your business. So, let's dive in, shall we? Why Are Accounting Principles Important for Construction Businesses? Accounting principles are the foundation for any successful business. They provide a uniform framework for recording and reporting financial transactions, ensuring consistency and accuracy in your financial records. By adhering to these principles, you'll be able to: Make better financial decisions based on accurate and reliable data Monitor your business's performance and identify areas for improvement Meet legal and regulatory requirements for financial reporting Build trust with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders All Accounting Uses The Same Accounting Equation Assets = Liabilities + Equity Regarding construction accounting, several concepts can be highly beneficial to understand. Here are a few you can start taking advantage of today: Construction Accounting Vs. Regular Accounting Not everyone knows what construction accounting is, and easy to assume all accounting is the same. Construction Accounting Is Used - When the entire place of business is packed up and taken to the customer. In essence, you are selling, assembling, delivering, and installing a customized product from a mobile shop on location. Think of it like shooting a movie on location without all the glamor, resources, and money to go with it. Why is there confusion? From a tax standpoint, most construction projects are all lumped together, and after the Cost of Good Sold, Expenses, and Depreciation, you either made money or didn't. The Tax Accountant rolls the numbers to compute the annual tax return. Therefore, if the information is not needed to be broken down for taxes, then the Tax Accountant is not concerned. As the Construction Contractor paying the bills, you are constantly concerned about which jobs are "Making Money or Losing Money." "Why does it seem like I am watching the money fly by and zooming out of my checking account? It never seems like there is any money left over!" Materials A construction contractor may purchase material and resell it to their customer. Thereby thinking it is a reimbursable expense. (You lose money when doing this). Remember all invoices to the Customer (Retail, General Contractor, Spec Builder, Developer) are income. Every line item on a customer invoice is ALL INCOME. If the words are on the invoice, then the invoice is either taxable or non-taxable based on other factors. Washington State, for instance, has a clear explanation. Purchases for the material are Cost of Goods Sold or are expenses if you are short-cutting your accounting. I have seen financial statements backed out because they will reflect reimbursable income as a negative number, thereby showing it as a deduction. (The net effect is double dipping on the expense side) The cause is that the accounting software is not correctly set up. Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) It appears regular bookkeepers over their heads with construction accounting are trying to figure out how to input new QuickBooks transactions by copying previous transactions. This is not an issue with regular accounting because there is only one or two costs of goods sold accounts (COGS), no direct COGS, no indirect COGS, no Work-In-Progress (WIP), no retention, no job costing allocation to consider, and only one customer "cash sale" in addition to several other variables involved in construction accounting. For example, a material receipt arrives at the regular bookkeeper's desk from a lumber supplier, and they open the QuickBooks contractor file, look up the supplier to determine how the previous lumber purchase was coded, and proceed to code the new transaction the same way. The problem is that each transaction is unique and could go into any of a dozen accounts or item codes depending upon whether it is a direct cost, indirect cost, WIP, retention, warranty, overhead, administrative, or other costs, or simply an expense. The cumulative effect of these bookkeeping errors in one month can do enough damage to the financial and job cost reports to bankrupt a contractor eventually. Another example is if the bookkeeper generates job costing reports that are off by 10%, it could cause the contractor to make radically different decisions based on what they believe about the job costing reports. If the contractor believes the company is undercharging, they may raise bid prices, lose jobs, eventually run out of cash, and file bankruptcy. If the contractor believes the company is overcharging, they may lower bid prices, lose money on all jobs, eventually run out of cash, and file bankruptcy. Many bookkeepers have lost their jobs and are freelancing as Jack-of-All-Trades and Master-of-None bookkeepers, doing whatever work they can find, and I understand that everyone needs to eat. I would prefer they avoid contractors and stick to regular bookkeeping like retail stores. The net result is that more contractors are going out of business due to inadequate financial and job costing reports just when construction demand is about to grow. Fix the giant boulders one at a time. Get that one thing working, then move on to the next one. What is the most annoying thing you can quickly fix? We talk about accounting because that is our primary focus. Start with the basics: Open a business checking account. Use a dedicated credit card for the business (if using a personal card). Create invoices, present them to your customer, collect the money, and get it in the bank (Do you have an easy way for your clients to pay you?). Collect the money ASAP because, without cash flow, you are out of business. No - the company with the most Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable does not win a prize. Accounts Receivable means your customers owe you money. Accounts Payable means you owe money to your suppliers. Net Profit is the money left over. You want lots of Net Profit! You are not a banker! Stop borrowing money using your credit cards, Loans, and Lines of Credit, then finance customers' projects at 0% interest. Final thoughts Becoming knowledgeable in accounting principles has the power to transform the way you run your construction business. Understanding and implementing these concepts in your construction accounting practices can improve your financial management and set your business up for long-term success.

Few business mistakes are worse (or more common) than consistently undercharging. You've done all of the work to get the customer, they hired you, and then you did more work to complete the project for them. The only problem is that you don't make enough money to justify the time and effort if you undercharge.

Welcome to today's episode of Blue Gems with Brindy Jean, an STR investor and host. She started as a property manager at a tech startup and bought her first home in Phoenix, Arizona. With March Madness coming up, she decided to earn some extra cash by renting out her house and became hooked on the STR game. The biggest hurdle she faced was the gap between a solid, W-2 job to making an income full time in the STR field. From using TurnoverBnB to coaching tips to design and budget, Brindy is sharing blue gems from her experience. Brindy encourages STR investors everywhere to go beyond Airbnb and create short term rental businesses, not Airbnb businesses. If you start out on Airbnb like Brindy did, make a plan to add other platforms and direct booking because the STR space is going to shift to more direct bookings and retargeting prior customers.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 488, And It's About Ways To Get Rid Of Construction Accounting And Bookkeeping Confusions Doing something different is hard. Do you feel like everyone else is the most brilliant person in the room, and you just don't get it? Getting into a rut and repeatedly doing the same things is easy. If those things work, then yes, continue to do them repeatedly. The problem is when something is not working, and you continue down the same path expecting a different result. The opposite of too much change can create another form of chaos. How do you know what is broken if you change a zillion things all at once? Looking for ways to make your job easier is the goal of all construction contractors. The last thing you want to hear from your staff or a trade contractor is, "Do you want me to do that over?" Your answer is "No!" (thundered, with many extra words). What you expected was that your staff did it correctly the first time. In accounting, the first piece of the confusion comes from Construction Accounting Vs. Regular Accounting. Not everyone knows what construction accounting is, and easy to assume all accounting is the same. Why is there confusion? From a tax standpoint, most construction projects are all lumped together, and after the Cost of Good Sold, Expenses, and Depreciation, you either made money or didn't. The Tax Accountant rolls up the numbers to compete for the annual tax return. Therefore, if the information is not needed to be broken down for taxes, then the Tax Accountant is not concerned. As the Construction Contractor paying the bills, you are constantly concerned about which jobs are "Making Money or Losing Money." "Why does it seem like I am watching the money fly by and zooming out of my checking account? It never seems like there is any money left over!" Second, confusion always comes about the material. A construction contractor may purchase material and resell it to their customer. Thereby thinking it is a reimbursable expense. (You lose money when doing this). Remember all invoices to the Customer (Retail, General Contractor, Spec Builder, Developer) are income. Every line item on a customer invoice is All INCOME. If the words are on the invoice, then the invoice is either taxable or non-taxable based on other factors. Washington State, for instance, has a clear explanation. Purchases for the material are Cost of Goods Sold or are expenses if you are short-cutting your accounting. I have seen financial statements that are backed out because they will reflect reimbursable income as a negative number and thereby show it as a deduction. (The net effect is double dipping on the expense side) The cause is the accounting software not correctly set up. New Construction Home Building is another area of confusion. In the mind of many construction contractors, a Spec home is any new house being built for resale. That is true; it is a New Construction House. It is a Spec Home for the Owner and Developer (who might be the General Contractor running the job). The question is on the construction accounting side. The question to be answered is "Who owns the house?" - It is a Spec House in the accounting system for the owner. For the General Contractor who is building a New Construction Home for a Developer, it is NOT a Spec Home. Why might it seem the same as both are New Construction Houses? If the General Contractor Does Not Own the house, then from an accounting side for that specific General Contractor, the house is a Custom Home with an owner who is not The General Contractor. Recognize expenses when the house sells. If the General Contractor, Developer Owns the new House being built, then it is a Spec House in the Accounting System. All costs roll up into WIP (Work-In-Process) and convert to COGS when the house is sold, not before. Otherwise, expenses one year; sales the next equals taxes. In Washington State: All Construction Contractors working for a Spec Builder must collect sales tax on all services (labor and material) when billed from the General and Trade Construction Contractors. All Construction Contractors working on Custom homes, Residential or Commercial Projects, Large or Small Remodels, and Handyman Projects can accept reseller permits from the General Contractor. Sales Tax is billed and collected from the Owner by the General Contractor. Contractors must collect sales tax on all retail projects, including Labor, Materials, Other. Sales tax must be collected on every line item. Customer Discounts can be given for any reason. Fix the giant boulders one at a time. Get that one thing working, then move on to the next one. What is the most annoying thing you can quickly fix? We talk about accounting because that is our primary focus. Start with the basics: Open a business checking account. Use a dedicated credit card for the business (if using a personal card).

Stop borrowing money using your credit cards, Loans, and Lines of Credit, then finance customers' projects at 0% interest. Final thoughts Money makes the business world go round. Unless you provide a service that others are willing to pay for, you will not collect money to use for goods and services you want. It costs you money when you have uncollected Accounts Receivable. A grocery store will not let you run a tab or give them an IOU for milk.

On paper, Tool would seem like the perfect band for The New Dad Rock. And perhaps they are. It's just that Steve and Keith never really got into them beyond Sober or after 1993. To remedy this, Keith invited his friend Eric in for a discussion on all things Tool. Included are steps on how to get into Tool and a first-hand testimonial on their brilliance.

Lots of confessing going on by two guys who are like David's broken hot water heater: old and leaky. We're getting pretty comfortable baring our true feelings about what has hurt us on our journeys into manhood. Somehow giggling helps (though that word doesn’t feel very manly). Jesus helps most. He's got us right where he wants us, and even the giggles feel like they've been approved by him.

Back in 2016, I found myself clearing my first (AND LAST) toilet clog in a rental property. It was my 4th property, but numbers 4, 5 and 6 came to me in a very short amount of time. And by the time I got #7, I was officially out of the DIY (Do It Yourself) Landlord life. No more would you find me clearing tenant toilet clogs. I was done handling jammed garbage disposals. I was finished with pest control. NO future maintenance and repair tasks would involve ME - doing anything directly. Over the period of time from obtaining rental property #4 to #7, I had started building my team of personnel and vendors, including: Plumber; Electrician; HVAC; Cleaners; General Contractors; Painters; Handymen, etc... So now when something needed to be done at a rental property, I had people to call who could take action on my behalf. But this was hard for me, because of course these people also wanted to be PAID - and much of the work I tasked them to undertake on my behalf were things that I was fully capable of handling myself. So this 13th Episode of the [... and Landlord] Rental Real Estate Investing Podcast is titled "Avoid Becoming A DIY Landlord" - and its all about my journey from feeling I should be saving MONEY - by handling everything myself; to saving TIME (which is far more valuable than money) - by leveraging the time and skills of others to handle things on my behalf. Finding myself clearing a tenant toilet clog was my eye opening moment to see how wasteful it was of both my time and ultimately also a waste of my money - for ME to be clearing toilet clogs. When I could have been out finding more properties to grow my Rental Property business. Or working to get clients to grow my Realty business. It certainly was not the best use of my time and skills to be clearing a toilet clog in a rental property - something I didn't want to be doing anyway! That certainly wasn't why I got into Real Estate, so why was I doing it? Well no more DIY Landlord tasks for me.. And hopefully after listening to this 13th Episode of the [... and Landlord] Podcast, you will be done with the DIY Landlord life also. Or even better... Maybe this will help you to avoid it entirely if you've not yet fallen into that trap. Instead of clearing toilet clogs, go out and get more rental properties. And if those rentals are in the Raleigh / Durham (Triangle area) of North Carolina, then you should hire me and Blue Chariot Management to manage your rental properties on your behalf. I've put together an impressive team to handle all your Raleigh / Durham Property Management needs.

EFynch: Homeowner and Handyman Advice from Baltimore and beyond.
Looking for a handyman via social media or neighborhood sites? This can sometimes help but is only a part of your research. Our advice to consider when working to solve that home-improvement problem via social media.
Here’s a fun statistic: about 1% of the working population of the United States have applied to join Handy as cleaners or handymen or plumbers. Now another stat that may show why this is: 80% of the people on Handy work 20 hours a week or less on the platform. 50% work ten hours a week or less. Why? As Oisin Hanrahan, Handy Founder, explains: “Not because there’s not more work there, but because that’s the amount of time they want to work.” “It’s really about flexibility.” Karl Ulrich and Oisin have a fascinating conversation about not just how Handy works, but how Oisin built the company, and why he was the right person to do it. As Karl says, “I think I probably had 20 Wharton MBA students with that idea in 2011.” So what made Handy succeed? Execution. Oisin says, “You've got to get the operations right. You've got to get the technology right. And then you've got to try to build a brand that people gravitate to when they want to solve a problem.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
I consider myself fortunate to have my mother living in the same town. Her home is just five minutes away from mine by car. Every now and then she asks me to help her with something, and as I like to think of myself as a 'handy woman', I will quickly say "yes", grab my tools, and drive over to her house. So she decided that because she likes to read in bed, she wanted to mount(1) two lamps to her bedroom wall, one on either side of the bed. Thankfully there wasn't any complicated electrical work to worry about. The lamps would actually plug into the socket(2/3), and their electrical wires would run neatly down the wall, hidden inside a tube. Simple. So I turned up, full of enthusiasm, ready to figure it all out. As I laid out all the different parts of the lamps on her bed, I realized that the job would take longer than I had expected. The end of each wire had no plug. I would have to attach a very simple, flimsy version that came in a plastic bag, and hope for the best. "Where's the drill Mum?" I asked and she pointed to a tiny appliance in an open box. It was a little drilling tool that is used for crafts. Hmmm. "What about the phillips heads and screw drivers?" Again, she motioned towards two little things that she had used to open paint cans. "Oh no," I thought. I didn't want to drive home to get my tools, so I searched around in her cold, dark garage and found several things that would work. I started putting bits and pieces of the lamp together, each time reading and re-reading the instructions. My mum sat opposite me in an arm chair to observe. It was a bit irritating actually as she questioned and commented on everything I did, adding sweetly, "Can I help you with anything darling?" I would just look at her with slight annoyance, as I needed to concentrate. I did manage to drill into at least one stud to support each lamp, even though the hardware that came in the bag was quite light and thin. I worked away, putting the puzzle together, and finally stood back, proud, with a smile on my face. "There you are Mum. What do you think?" She got out of her armchair and stood with me at the end of the bed, looking at one lamp and then the other. She remained quiet. I looked at her, and she said, "Are they at the same height?" My heart sank. I was annoyed again. I tried to see them at the same height, but I realized that she might have been on to something. I grabbed the tape measure and measured the height of each from the floor. She was right; the one on the right was one inch lower. "Bum!" I said loudly, and started unscrewing the lamp. I re-measured, and remounted it, and then double checked. There, now they were the same height. My old mum had been right, as usual. Another job well done, well almost. 1. 'To mount' is used when putting up a picture or something on a wall or a stand (like a statue). a. When I worked in the art gallery, we would go to people's houses and mount their new pictures. b. The sculptor mounted his latest work on a big stone block in the square. 2. Okay, here is some vocabulary to do with using tools and mounting objects on walls. a. A stud = the large, vertical wooden post inside a wall or ceiling. b. Phillip's head = the tool used to screw in a screw. It's end looks like an X c. A screw driver = similar to a phillip's head, but it's end looks like - . d. Socket = the electrical outlet that you plug a plug into. e. Hardware = all of the screws, nails, and other metal pieces that a piece of furniture needs. f. A drill = the electric tool that makes a whole in the wall or in wood/ metal. It is also the verb.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0161 And It Will Be About Construction Workers Are Not Created Equal There Are Three Unique Types Of Construction Workers Construction Is A Wonderful Profession for anyone with the grit to take it on and master it. And it is getting better every day in every way mostly because of the recession that began in 2008. The economic downturn put enormous pressure on all Construction Companies to innovate and change or go out of business! Construction Is No Place For Weak-Willed Wanna-Bees; however, it is the only place for men and women with grit, determination and a burning desire to believe they can achieve greatness and a legacy of service to all of humanity in the cause of preserving and maintaining civilization through construction. Contractors Need Workers that are right for your particular situation and you need to know the differences between construction workers so you can attract, hire and retain the best ones to help your Construction Company grow and prosper. If You Are A Home Builder You Need "Cavemen And Cavewomen" #01 - New Construction Workers Are Cavemen (And darn good people!) Phase One - The Awareness A young man or woman gets becomes aware of the urge to build something, remodel something or simply play with construction tools and equipment. So they ask questions, do research online or perhaps make application at a construction firm. Phase Two - They Get Hired The young man or woman is hired by a New Construction Company and starts at the bottom, literally as an apprentice and learns by experience and in some cases it is supplemented with night school. Phase Three - They Become Cave Men & Women the Apprentice has learned all the lessons and developed the skills to become a Journeyman Construction Technician Their Skill Sets Include: Brute Force- Always use brute force and if that doesn't work use more brute force and be quick about it....we're burning daylight! Dress Code- Tattoos, torn shirt, filthy coat, scruffy jeans, greasy dirty boots with heavy thick tread that picks up everything you step on. Vocabulary- All the four letter words combined with every insult every hurled, mixed together in new and interesting combinations. Attitude- I not paid to think! Can't somebody else do that? It is not my fault! That was broke when I got here! If You Remodel People's Homes You Need "Cowboy Construction Workers" #02 - Remodel Construction Workers Are Cowboys (And darn good people!) Phase One - The Awareness After a while in new construction the physical intensity begins taking its toll on the body and they cannot compete with the younger kids that are always coming into the trades. They consider a slower pace of work where their skills and experience are more in demand; remodeling. Phase Two - They Get Hired They are hired by a construction company that does residential remodeling or commercial tenant improvement work. Phase Three - They Become Cowboys and Cowgirls The technician has learned all the lessons and developed the skills to become a first class remodel technician Their Skill Sets Include: Brute Force- Sometimes brute force works and if not stop and think until you find a better way. Dress Code- Clean shirt, coat, jeans, boots with soles that will not pick up everything you step on. Vocabulary- Few if any of the four letter words. Limited insults and quietly spoken to co-workers and other construction trades. Attitude- I am paid to think. I take responsibility to make the experience as pleasant as possible for the customer. If something is broke I figure out how to get it fixed. If You Are A Service And Repair Contractor You Need "Shoe Salesmen" #03 - Service And Repair, Handymen, Construction Workers Are Shoe Salesmen (And darn good people!) Phase One - The Awareness After a few years in remodel the body rebels again and it is time to move to the next stop, service and repair or handyman. Phase Two - They Get Hired They are hired by a company or start their own business. Phase Three - They Become Shoe Salesmen having experience in all areas of construction they have what appears to be X-Ray vision because they know what is behind the walls, under the floor and on top of the ceiling Their Skill Sets Include: Gentle Persuasion With a Touch of Brute Force- They work where people are living or at someone's busy office so brute force is not the first option. Dress Code- Professional logo's on clean shirt and coat. Work pants or crisp jeans, nice shoes with shoe covers. Vocabulary- Language that could be spoken in church or to their grandmother. No four letter words! Attitude- I am paid to think and be of service in the best way I know how! There is a lot more to this subject, marketing, strategy, back office setup which I may cover on another article later. The key take away is to understand that just because someone is good at one part of construction does not mean they will be good at another part. Before hiring a construction worker ask what they specialize in and only consider construction workers that specialize in the work you need done. Unfortunately, in any downturn in the economy or slowdown in the work and some contractors take on work in areas they are not setup to manage and complete. Each area New Construction, Remodel, Service has a completely different set of skills, tools; expertise and back office support that is needed to do the work and keep customers happy. In the 25+ years I have been involved in construction most of the problems, heartache and headache can be traced back to a contractor that was out of his or her expertise. I have Progressed Through All Three Construction Worker Paths And Ended Up Back At Square One As The Contractors Accountant which why I speak with authority on this subject. I trust this podcast helps you understand that outsourcing your contractors bookkeeping services to us is about more than just “doing the bookkeeping”; it is about taking holistic approach to your entire construction company and helping support you as a contractor and as a person.

In turn, contractors are frustrated with Bean Counters and Desk Jockeys who do not understand how construction works. Perhaps this article will shed some light that will help consultants and contractors understand each other and offer some tips that will benefit everyone. Business consultants live in a world where successful companies have a Business Strategy of M.A.P. or Marketing First, Accounting Second, Production Third and that is completely opposite of what most contractors do. Contractors, bless their hearts, we love them all! Most contractors operate their companies as if they were job superintendents not business owners. Which means they subscribe to P.A.M. Production First, Accounting Second (and only after the year is over and it is time to file tax return) and Marketing (rarely if at all since they believe the best advertising in referrals and word-of-mouth) Let's Step Into A Contractor's Shoes And Understand How They Got To Where They Are Bob The Contractor, (not his real name), has a small company they provides a decent middle income living for his family of four but not much hope of building a business that will run without him constantly being involved and running himself ragged. He is a skilled technician who learned his trade in an apprenticeship program, working for another contractor and by his own experiences. Over the years, Bob developed a Paradigm, Mindset, Understanding, Perception or whatever word makes the most sense to you about how construction companies operate. Some of the building blocks of his Paradigm were from personal experience and the rest came from several meetings of the Business Round Table; the little round table in the local bar and grill with four chairs, a pitcher of beer, four glasses and three of his contractor friends. All of them agree that production, getting work done is the most important part of the business because that is what they always did when they worked for someone else and that is what they expect of their employees. All learning is comes from connecting new things to things we already know and Bob has settled into a rut; which is a grave with gradual slopes on each end. He only knows what he knows and does not know what he does not know. Learning to own and operate a successful construction company is very similar to learning a construction trade. There are only two ways to do it. Self-taught and learning from someone who is already mastered the skill. Self-taught means making many mistakes and it takes a lifetime before you get good at it, and then it is too late. Learning from a master is much faster and in the end allows the student the opportunity to go beyond the teachings of the master and have an even greater success. Bob has this nagging feeling he is missing something and so he contacts a Business Consultant... Let's Step Into A Business Consultant's Shoes And Understand How They Got To Where They Are John The Business Consultant, (not his real name), got decent grades in school and graduated college with a Business Management Degree. John has a lot of energy and loves to solve problems and make the world a better place. After graduation John went to work for a Mega Company which is a large multi-national company expecting to be on the fast track to promotions, bonuses, fast cars and long vacations in the sun. It did not take long for John to realize that if he put his college degree in one hand and five dollars in the other he could buy a cup of coffee and have something to read and admire. The problem with large multi-national companies like Mega Company is they rarely hire talent; rather they hire fresh college graduates, work them hard and fast until they realize they're on an endless treadmill deep inside a downtown high-rise building also known as a "Vertical Salt-Mine" with fluorescent lighting and little or no possibility for advancement. Somewhere between 5-10 years, the good ones wake up and ask themselves "Is there someplace better I could be?" "Perhaps I should leave Mega Company and start my own consulting firm and fulfill my life's ambition!" They put together a Business Plan using a form of M.A.P. or Marketing First, Accounting Second, Production Third and get to work. Very quickly, they acquire a few clients and just as quickly, they lose them because they work 9AM to 5PM not 5AM to 9PM like their business owner clients. They are "Idea People" full of good ideas and projects and tons of new Strategic Planning Initiatives they expect their customers and clients to embrace and implement by dropping everything else they are doing and getting to work on this new life-changing path. Example E-Mail Frustrated Business Consultants Send Us The following email was changed to protect the identity of the sender and is typical of the ones we get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sharie, I am consulting for a local contractor and I'm trying my best to get him to hire your firm for his bookkeeping and accounting needs. He is running things by the seat of his pants and writing things on scraps of paper that ends up on the dashboard of his truck, under the seat, behind the seat, on the floor, in the toolbox and stuffed into the overhead sun-visor. I understand this is how contractors do things, but I am trying to help him get organized and it's difficult. I have helped several businesses, and he thinks he has a "ballpark" number of his construction company monthly overhead. I need to know exactly what his overhead expenses are, so I can help him increase cash inflow and profits. He needs to know if he is pricing jobs in such a way that he will remain profitable and grow his business so he can have a better lifestyle and retire someday. You offer a One Hour No Charge Consultation For Contractors would you extend that to me and help me understand how to help him? Sincerely, John ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharie did spend just over an hour consulting with this Business Consultant and he gained a tremendous amount of insights and as I understand it the Business Consultant and his contractor client are still working together and we are providing some much needed outsourced contractor bookkeeping services. One Answer Is For Business Consultant's Spend Two Months Working For A Contractor At this point, you either agree with me wholeheartedly or believe I am a crazy nutter or just looking to get free labor for contractors. Your perception or your Paradigm is reality so whatever you believe is true. I was blessed with having grown up in a construction family and have spent most of my adult life in and around contractors and construction. Learn more... I have started construction companies, made a lot of mistakes, made a lot of money, spent many years acquiring formal education and certifications, (I have more degrees than a thermometer) so I have a foot in both camps as a Contractor and Business Consultant. A Business Consultant who will invest two months working side by side with a contractor will, in my opinion, gain such tremendous insights, knowledge and humility that will be more valuable than spending 100 years trying to figure out contractors from the outside looking in. I trust you will find value in this podcast and please understand it comes from the heart of someone who really loves contractors and has a deep commitment to helping as many as I can. The same goes for my business partner, best friend and spouse of over 40 years, Sharie.
