This Podcast Is Episode Number 0299, And It Will Be About 8 Tips On Making Email Marketing Work For Your Business Today's Guest Article Is From Freddie Tubbs As a contractor, you probably have some former clients you want to stay in contact with and a need to bring the new customers in. The ideal way is to communicate with both of these groups in a timely, consistent manner and let them know what you are up to. Since most people use email to communicate, this could be an excellent opportunity for you to catch their attention and build a good relationship. It gives you complete control over who sees your messages and you can be sure that your emails will go to everyone on your list. Social media is, in contrast, quite fickle and sometimes people will miss your posts unintentionally. This is why well-written emails from you might do a far better job. Here is how to use email marketing for your construction business. Build an email list To build an email list, you'll likely need some sort of a website or online platform where you can gather subscribers. Build a good landing page and offer something in turn for their subscription. You can also set up a page where they can get a quote price on your work based on their demands. This is one of the best ways to get subscribers because everyone prefers to have such information delivered to their inboxes. Promise exclusivity like discounts, promo codes, tips, free content and so on. All of these things will lead to you gathering more email subscribers and having an active communication with your clients in season and off-season. Write strong subject lines The subject line is one of the first things the reader sees when they open your email and this means that it has to be striking. For one, it needs to be relevant to the subject at hand so you can't be deceiving and trick people with certain subject lines. Next, it should be attention grabbing. People usually open emails with question subject lines or their own name in it. Generic titles don't work as well. Use a company email Make sure that your email address is recognizable since your clients will have to be completely sure who it's coming from. Use a verified, personal email address that shows them who you are from the get-go and ensures them in your trustworthiness.    Write clear email copy Email copywriting can be a daunting task for people who want to succeed in Email copywriting but have little to no experience in doing so. Construction work really has nothing to do with writing, so here are some powerful tools to help you out: Studydemic- If you need an email copywriting guide, look no further than this resource full of helpful tips. Boomessays - In case you feel like your writing could use some editing, you should get some help from this tool. Writing Populist - Grammar mistakes can be pesky but with this checker, you will never need to check grammar yourself again. Academized - Proofreading is essential in writing email copy. Use this simple tool. Link to your site Each one of your emails should contain a link that leads back to your website. This way, you get traffic and your subscribers get an opportunity to read more of your content, get acquainted with your prices and so on. Include a CTA The purpose of every email is to entice some action on the part of the recipient. Whether it's a share, a feedback response, a purchase or something else entirely, you need to add calls-to-action to every email you create. These are small but compelling lines at the end of your emails calling for the next step - for instance, ‘Buy Now!’, Get the discount here’ and so on. Don't spam Be wary of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) guidelines which explicitly say what you should and shouldn't do when email marketing. “These rules are very straightforward and you should pay attention to them. Most of the time, if you write properly and with the right intention, you can hardly make a mistake”, - explains Sara Jordan, an Email marketing strategist at Student Writing Services. Be friendly When your subscribers receive your email, they don't want to hear from a stuffy, uptight construction contractor. They want to see a friendly, calming tone of voice - it's their personal inbox, after all. So, try to sound moderately friendly and genuinely kind in your emails. Write amazing emails! Starting an email newsletter can be a great thing for any construction business. You can use it to send updates, get more clients and get overall better results. These have been some tips on starting an email newsletter and hopefully, they will help. About The Author: Freddie Tubbs is a communication manager at Assignment help service.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0297, And It Will Be About Contractor Loans: An Expert's Guide On How To Finance Your Business Running a contractor operation takes a pretty special individual, especially since there are going to be so many different moving parts with each and every project your contracting outfit takes on. Hammering out bids, winning jobs, managing a crew, knocking out material lists and – most importantly – making sure that you stay on top of your cash flow are all big pieces of the contracting business puzzle. Because of the size and scale of these projects (even the smallest of contracting jobs), things get pretty expensive, and the odds are pretty good you’re going to need to tap into business loans every now and again. But contractors, particularly those just getting started in the business with their own outfit, usually find unsecured business loans to be a headache and hassle to get a hold of. These kinds of loans usually aren’t given out to folks without a track record under their belts. And on top of that these kinds of loans usually don’t come with the kind of financing contractors need to get projects from start to finish. Here are a couple of options you want to consider when you’re looking to get financing for your business. Consider traditional bank/credit union and SBA loans specifically for contractors Traditional banks, credit unions, and the Small Business Administration all offer specific loan packages for the contracting industry that you may be able to take full advantage of. You’ll obviously have to meet with local bank representatives (or fill out the government paperwork with the SBA) to figure out the specifics of these offers, and it’s not a bad idea to go to a bank that you have a bit of a history with as a “retail” customer. At the same time, these kinds of loans can take a long time to go through the approval process – particularly if you’re asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars that you might need to knock out a couple of construction projects you’re looking to undertake. Most suppliers will offer some kind of leasing and financing package for local contractors Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of suppliers in your local area are likely to offer some kind of leasing and financing package for contractors that do – or anticipate – a lot of business with them. You’ll need to create an account with your local hardware stores, your local building supply stores, and your local home department stores to take advantage of these financing packages. On top of that, you want to make sure that you read the fine print of each agreement, as they are almost always going to have unique terms from one another, and you’ll want to understand every detail of each of these financial packages before you sign on the dotted line. Major chains (like Home Depot and Lowe’s, for example) also offer their own financing package for professional contractors that are well worth looking into. How to make working capital loans work for your contracting outfit? At the end of the day, you might want to go the more nontraditional route of getting financing for your contracting outfit and start looking into working capital loans from these kinds of lenders. Working capital loans essentially keep you flush with all the funding you need to keep your cash flow positive, helping you secure materials, payout your payroll, and cover any minor blips in the road along the way until the profits from your jobs start coming in. Again, you’ll need to look into the specifics of each working capital offer before you decide to take the plunge. Some nontraditional lending packages will be more advantageous to leverage compared to others, and you want to make sure that you are always making a smart move with this kind of nontraditional financing rather than saddling yourself with a financial burden later down the line for a short-term fix. All in all, you’ll find that there are plenty of opportunities out there for you to get your hands on the financing you need to not only run your contracting outfit but to also grow and expand your base of operations. It’s never a bad idea to shoot for being able to “self-fund” your business right from the profits of your job, but that’s only ever going to be possible after using years of taking advantage of the kinds of financing packages we highlighted above.   About The Author: Chad Otar  is the CEO at Excel Capital Management, a pioneer in the Fintech and alternative lending space. He has assisted thousands of business owners to receive funding over the last 5 years and is focused on helping one small business at a time achieve access to capital.   In Conclusion: Helping Contractors around the world is one of the reasons we added the FastEasyAccountingStore.com Follow our blogs, listen to Contractor Success M.A.P.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0296, And It Will Be About The Top 5 Online Marketing Trends In 2019 With Actionable Tips For Contractors Today more than ever, we live in a world where information is accessible at the touch of a button, a few clicks on your keyboard, or even just a voice command. Although it's hard to predict where new technologies will lead us, one thing is for certain - we are now all digitally connected. The internet has caused our businesses to thrive and survive and there's no way of blocking its impact in our day-to-day lives.  With that said, it is helpful to keep an eye out on these marketing trends that could influence how your target audience search and consume data along with actionable tips that could jump start your new year "to-do list":     Trend #1: A Functional Website (Content Is Everything) Your online storefront is your landing page. Although there's no manual for creating a high-converting copy and building a foolproof design, there is no denying that to establish your online presence, you need to have a business website. People don't usually go for the best products and services in the market (especially the ones who are new to your site), they opt for the one whose information they can digest quickly and easily.  Actionable Tip: Donald Miller, founder of StoryBrand, has an easy and powerful way of evaluating your website. As a rule, upon visiting your website, one should understand what you offer within five seconds. Does your website pass the "Grunt Test" (Assuming a caveman were to open a laptop, look at your site for 5 seconds, and close the laptop, will it be able to grunt what is your website about?) With just a quick glance at your homepage, can your visitor answer these three questions: What is it that you offer? How will it make my life better? What do I need to do to buy your product/hire of your services? Give your website a quick make-over by: Making your headline direct (easy-to-understand tagline) Displaying the convenience your client will experience if they hire your services Including an obvious call-to-action button ("Contact Us", "Call Now" in bright, visible colors) Trend #2: Optimize For Local User Intent Have you ever reached for your phone, opened your browser, and typed "Where can I find Mexican food near me?" when looking for a place to eat? You have a specific "intent" in mind (food) and would like to eat nearby because, well, you're starving. The page result will bring you a list of restaurant names and maps with their service hours. Google's dominance in search traffic revolutionized the way we look for answers online and we as users, has become more conversational with our queries (whether we are typing it or doing a voice search). Thus, it is crucial for your company to appear on Local SERPs (Search Engine Result Page) to remain search relevancy and build authority while generating better leads for your business. Actionable Tip: If you haven't done so, claim your Google My Business listing and create a Google My Business profile. Fill out your business page properly and be sure to include all the important details: address, contact number, business hours, and a unique, formatted description of your company with links to your online site. Also, you can maximize your Google presence by creating a free website with an updated profile image (logo), post your services with high-resolution photos for visually appealing content. Trend #3: Social Media Community If Google is for "intent", the use of social media is for "interest". According to Hootsuite, 66% of monthly Facebook users use it daily, with Americans spending 58 minutes per day on Facebook. Likewise, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube have amassed millions of users who are sharing micro-content every second in any given day. Since social networking sites have an easy-to-use interface with downloadable mobile apps, it is convenient and handy, and offers more personalized interaction between you and your patrons. The rise of social networking sites paved the way for small businesses and solopreneurs to advertise their brand without spending a fortune and establish their influence by being part of an online community. Actionable Tip: Develop a Social Media Marketing strategy. Easier said than done, I know, but every step counts. Start by posting meaningful and engaging content. "Before and after" photos works wonders to curious browsers, but what else can you post? Ongoing promotions, what's your day like at work, your current project, seasonal reminders (for example, you're a plumber: winterize your outdoor kitchen), tips and tricks (how to better take care of your carpet), etc. Monitor where and when you are getting the most feedback from your followers so you can interact with them. The key here is delivering the right message, to the right person, at the right time - every time.  Trend #4: Videos One of the most credible ways of connecting with your audience and building trust in your company is the use of videos. Live-stream content is flourishing and has become a powerful tool for online marketers to convey their message. It's no wonder why mobile devices and apps support and feature video tools in their products. According to HubSpot, more than 50% of consumers want to see videos from brands more than any other type of content.  Actionable Tip: A quick search on Google will give you thousands of results about video marketing and video creation process. You can hire services when you want it professionally done or do it yourself without the complexities of technology by being raw and going "live" on a social media platform. Bear in mind, as with any project, focus on one thing at a time. List down your target audience, the purpose of your video, and the time and resources needed to produce it. Trend #5: Client/Customer Centricity As a service-based industry, this concept is integral to your construction company. What does it mean to be client-centric? It is more than just offering an exceptional customer service, it means nurturing relationships with your clients by being part of their "buyer's journey".  Clients in turn, will not only provide you positive feedback but becomes a loyal follower and advocate of your brand. Randal talked about Customers Vs Clients, and how taking care of your clients is essential not just for acquisition but also for sustainability. After all, it is easier to maintain a client than to gain a new one. Actionable Tip: Empathize with your client when addressing their needs. Make their experience easy, from reaching out to you (remember the "call-to-action" button on your website?) to handing payments.  In conclusion: Let's keep in mind that trends fade away. Invest in yourself and expand your skills. Develop a growth-mind set because there's still no one-size-fits-all marketing solution for every type of business nor will there ever be. As a construction contractor, I trust that you are adaptable to change and resilient in all the challenges that comes your way. May this year bring you more exciting opportunities and financial blessings. Happy 2019!   Thank you for stopping by.

Enjoy our App with our compliments! Helpful Reminders From Sharie: Be mindful of the paperwork that needs to be stamped on or before December 31st. Payroll – Did you take any personal payroll (S-Corp) If not, it may impact your personal deductions.  IRA - 401K - Making those final payments before midnight on December 31. (Do not wait until 11:59 PM) Some plans allow you to make payments until April 15th (double check the dates– do not assume) Income – Getting one last customer invoice and receiving the payment (last minute purchases to count on 2018 taxes (expenses or larger item which qualifies for depreciation) Do not expect to be able to file your annual taxes on January 1, 2019. Visit https://www.irs.gov/ for the official 2019 Filing Season Start Date. Prepare W-2s and pass them out as soon as possible – remember to keep a copy. W-2’s and 1099’s have a deadline of January 31st to be mailed out to your employees and 1099 contractors. Be proactive and send out W-9’s now; thereby asking for Federal Tax ID or Social Security Number now. Think about your company tax filing status. I recommend changing from a Sole Prop to an S-Corp. Setting up an S-Corp is done with the Secretary of State in your state. Note, a few states only accept forms from a third party service.  If you are currently an LLC - my recommendation is still to become an S-Corp. If not, change your tax filing status to be treated as an S-Corp. The form needed from the IRS is a Form 2553. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2553.pdf  Unlike many State Agencies, the IRS does not charge to file their forms. You are asking the IRS to change how your company is treated. Why is this important? Because the IRS will only accept the form for the current year in January – February (pushing the deadline to March 15th is risky) otherwise the approval will be for the next year (meaning starting in January 2020) instead of January 2019. Quick Tip: Late Penalties to State and Federal Government Agencies are increasing, and they are looking back at filing dates of past returns for additional fees.  It’s very expensive to borrow money from the government.  In case you need it, it never hurts to ask for a payment plan. Rule of Thumb When Asking: Be Nice, Be Polite. Ask for a payment plan to be extended for as long as possible and with payments as low as possible. Sometimes no matter how you ask – the person you are talking to is not helpful, but usually, if it is within the rules they will help you out. Cash Flow - Every little bit helps!  In Conclusion: Helping Contractors around the world is one of the reasons we added the FastEasyAccountingStore.com Follow our blogs, listen to Contractor Success M.A.P.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0294, And It Will Be About Risks Construction Contractors Face While On The Job   Today's Guest Article Is From Rachel Porter Content Specialist At Custom Contractors Insurance Many people look at someone who has made it as a contractor and often find themselves wishing they were contractors too. After all, contractors are their own bosses, with flexible hours and, more often than not, a much-higher pay at the end of the day. Indeed, being a contractor has its perks. However, it’s hardly a walk in the park. As a matter of fact, contractors probably face more risks compared to regular employees, and they will always need construction contractors insurance to protect themselves. Let’s take a look at some of the risks contractors face while doing their job. Damage to or loss of tools and equipment For contractors, their tools and equipment are their bread and butter. There is no way they can do their job and deliver what’s required of them if their equipment are damaged and stolen, and in the contracting business, both are very real possibilities. Aside from the risk of workers damaging their tools one way or another, it’s also not uncommon for thefts to happen at a construction worksite. Competition prices taking a dive So a responsible contractor takes pride in the quality of his work, and his rates are commensurate to the kind of results that he delivers. However, a contractor might have competitors who are more than willing to bid projects below cost just so they can create some cash flow for their operations. Some do this hoping to buy out projects or earn extra profit by way of change orders. In any case, when competitors take a dive, it makes acquiring new work even harder. The seasonal slowness Unless a contractor is based in the warmer regions of the United States, he will likely experience a work slowdown whenever winter comes. There is no way a contractor can work when the ground is frozen and covered by two feet of snow. The freezing winds will also make an icicle of any worker who even tries to work at a certain height. Then again, even warmer climates do not guarantee continuous work. Economic downturns can make finding contracts more difficult regardless of the weather. Flawed finished product A contractor should always comply with safety standards and building codes, because the alternative really hurts. If the finished project is defective in any way because it’s not up to local, state, and federal building regulations, the client who commissioned the project will likely ask the contractor for a reimbursement, and that could bring that contractor’s company down. Missing deadlines Clients will always want their project to be finished on time, as agreed. However, as the project goes underway, so many things can happen that might delay it. Equipment might break down, materials are delivered late, or any other unforeseen hitches might occur. That’s why contractors who know and understand the value of keeping deadlines always keep their communication lines with their clients open, so if some inevitable delay happens, clients will get a heads-up and amend the contract to move the deadline. Worker and third-party injuries A contractor will always be ultimately liable for any injuries that could happen within the work site. A worker or third parties like clients visiting the site could get injured, and the contractor could potentially find himself at the receiving end of a claim that could ruin his company financially.  CONCLUSION: Thankfully, contractors insurance can help contractors weather any of these risks. General liability insurance, for instance, would serve them well when it comes to third-party injuries. Workers' Compensation Insurance, on the other hand, can take care of any employee who might get hurt. So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming about quitting your job and becoming a full-time contractor, always remind yourself to prepare for all the risks and responsibilities that come with it.    About The Author: Rachel Porter is the content specialist at Custom Contractors Insurance.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0293, And It Will Be About Systematic Payments: Why Should Businesses Use Payroll Service?    Today's Guest Article Is From Sheena Justine Baxter Content Writer And Editor Running a small business can be hectic. There are plenty of tasks for a business owner to oversee when handling the managing of daily operations. Inspecting staffing requirements, attendance, business reviews and more, can fill its plate on a daily or weekly basis. Completing payroll is another task that must be done once or sometimes twice a month, depending on the pay periods. These need to be completed on the specified date without delays and must be completely accurate. Even the slightest mistake may cast doubt on the business and employees will quickly become demoralized – starting a chain reaction that threatens to derail the entire operation. It is quite common for disgruntled employees to seek help from government labor enforcement agencies; seeking retribution for what they see as unfair and unsound business practices being employed. What’s wrong with completing it manually? It’ll cost me less. Many small business owners complete manual processing of payroll to lower overhead costs of operation. While this seems like a good idea on paper, it really isn't. Thinking big means to prepare for an eventuality of growth and processing payroll for each and every employee individually doesn’t say much for that business owner’s vision of the future. Manually completing payroll is time-consuming and more than likely to result in a few errors along the way, especially when a business owner is dealing with a staff of 50-plus heads. However accidental they are, if these discrepancies become frequent, the owner will most likely be certain to face angry employees, or worse, angry tax authorities. Making a small investment now is better than incurring casualties. Completing payroll isn’t that difficult. What’s the big deal? It is the employer’s responsibility to calculate tax and there are federal, state, and local payroll taxes that need to be applied per payroll per person. According to the National Small Business Association (NSBA), 1 out of every 3 small businesses spends an average of 80 hours each year filing taxes, including the ones on a payroll. 80 hours that could have been spent elsewhere; perhaps, focused towards other useful initiatives that would actually help the business grow. Checking an employee’s worked hours and multiplying it by their rate of pay isn’t the hard part of doing payroll manually. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Putting all mention of taxes aside, a small business owner will also need to account for overtime work hours, vacation leaves, bonuses or compensation, health and medical benefits, and possibly much more. The average amount of time that it takes to complete manual payroll processing for a single employee (and this is not even taking into account the aforementioned overtime work hours, etc.) is about 11 minutes. Multiply that by the total amount of heads that are currently employed, and bingo, someone’s missing the bus ride home. Okay. What’s the solution then? The solution is to invest and apply for a payroll service. The primary advantages of a small business owner using a payroll service are numerous hours saved and no liability for errors. If mistakes occur, it now becomes the payroll service’s responsibility to correct and take ownership of the problem. Besides that, there are many other benefits to reap. Depending on which type of service is being used, the enrollment fee may either be one-time or a monthly subscription fee. Additional features that payroll services offer typically come with an additional fee on top of the upfront cost. A smart business owner will analyze the needs of his/her business and choose a payroll service that fits right in the groove. Are only the basic functions required, or are additional services needed? Well, what ARE the other benefits of using a payroll service? Many payroll service providers offer cloud-based platforms which means that payroll can be accessed and run remotely from any location within minutes. No need to install software or invest in hardware and servers. Upgrades to the platform are done automatically. Payroll service providers make use of the best security encryption methods to ensure that employees’ sensitive information is safe.   A good payroll service provider will also provide round-the-clock support for its clients; to assist in case any technology-related issues arise. One viable option for a hesitant business owner is a free trial run. Some payroll services will allow clients to use the platform for a limited amount of time at no cost just to get a feel of the system and grease up the gears. If there’s anything unsatisfactory about the platform, just cancel the subscription; no harm done. Integrations are an add-on feature that will definitely cost something extra but which are a worthwhile investment for businesses that utilize accounting, timekeeping, and scheduling applications. Integrations will allow the payroll service to blend in nicely with all of the current software being used by the business, making it a breeze to cross-reference worked hours and calculate pay rates. Automation and mobile access are another few nice extra pieces of tech thrown into a payroll service provider’s arsenal of features. If a payroll pay period is the same day every month, the system can be configured to run at a preordained date and time. Just hit a few buttons, provide approval, and that business owner is off to catch happy hour. Being able to configure these functions via their tablet, laptop or smartphone only makes it THAT much easier. Gone are the days of keeping stacks of dusty ledgers filled with names and numbers from months and years past. Another great feature that business owners can take advantage of is the powerful reporting options included by most payroll service providers. The payroll data can be spliced, pivoted, graphed, and PowerPoint-presented in a way that manual processing of payroll would never have even dreamed of. You’re starting to sound like a salesman. Isn’t there any risk involved with this? Like with any other IT system, payroll platforms can have weak points. Some of the more notable areas of opportunity for these providers are in relation to data and cybersecurity. It’s important to note that although most providers use top-of-the-line security systems to run a tight ship, this fact should not be taken for granted and a business owner has every right to ask questions about the security standards being employed. Data loss is a rare occurrence but one which nonetheless can have serious implications if the information cannot be retrieved. This usually happens during a server malfunction or crash. Most reputable payroll service providers have backup systems in place to work as a failsafe but it doesn’t hurt to do some research in advance. CONCLUSION: In summary, there is a small element of risk involved (as there is with any investment) but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Payroll service is simply an evolutionary step that a small business needs to take if it intends on transitioning to the big leagues.  About The Author: Sheena Justine Baxter has been working as a content writer and editor for 5 years.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0292, And It Will Be About Your MAP To Increasing Cash Flow and Profits In Your Contracting Company Today's Guest Article Is From Joseph McLean Full-Time Freelance Writer Managing an entire project on your own can be overwhelming. Being in charge of endless tasks and assignments is pressuring – sometimes, you even feel that there’s no way you could handle anything anymore. Feelings of anxiety and concern might overthrow your balance, and that’s a sign you should bring a change in your work life. We will provide you 5 strategy tips to project management success that might save you from going insane!   1. Set the Goals and Plan the Day Before getting started, set your goals and plan your day accordingly. Knowing where you started and where you are headed is crucial for tracking your long-time progress. When you have no idea what your final goal is, or how much of your personal goals you’ve already completed, things start to get complicated. Some guidelines on how to set goals, and help your team set theirs too: ⦁    Think about what motivates you ⦁    Set your life priorities ⦁    Be S.M.A.R.T. – choose Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound goals ⦁    Ask yourself and your team “why?” Why are they doing this? Why are you doing this? What do you want to achieve, how would that have a powerful impact in your life? Planning your day: ⦁    Start one night before – write a to-do list ⦁    Prioritize your tasks ⦁    Design an ⦁    action plan, and present it to your team ⦁    Design daily tasks to each one of them, and be structured in your presentation of the assignments Make sure you and your team stick to the plan you’ve outlined, even when the deadlines might be a little bit shaky. Don’t be too hard on them or on yourself, but do respect what you’ve planned every single day. 2. Choose the Right Team Choosing the right people to work with is essential. Dan Kelsey, freelancer and expert in college homework help at San Antonio English School, shares his opinion. “Every team player will follow specific guidelines and work in their area of expertise, so that in the end, the pieces of work can be joined together and the puzzle completed. If the pieces don’t fit together, there will be no puzzle. That’s when your project’s outcomes become unsatisfactory.” Here are some great tips on how to choose the perfect team for your business: ⦁    Research each one of your employee’s backgrounds ⦁    Ask who they are, what they enjoy doing, and what they like the most about working in a team – focus on their inherent personality, not necessarily on their accomplishments; ⦁    Look at how competent they are by questioning them; look at their past results if you must, but don’t judge if their results are not the best; maybe they’ve evolved in the meantime and they’d make great assets to your team now; ⦁    Design at least three “team core values,” and evaluate the candidate according to that – do they fit in? ⦁    Listen to their stories and don’t draw conclusions based on assumptions. Get to know the person before saying yes or no. It’s important to keep an open mind when hiring someone new, but it’s also crucial to be realistic. Give each person a chance, but if they really don’t look like they’d fit in, it’s probably best to say “pass.” 3. Let Go of Expectations Good project managers understand that great outcomes come with hard work. However, there are times when we work hard and plenty, but our results do not quite show it – and that’s totally fine. That means we must work even harder in order to succeed. Letting go of expectations is the first step to accepting where we are and starting to evolve. ⦁    Acknowledge your expectations and accept the fact that you want to reach success ⦁    Slowly transition into a “let it go” mindset, and let it go – you cannot control everything in your life, and that is completely normal ⦁    Define your goals, but choose to think positively while working towards completing them Letting go of expectations will make you feel released if you won’t make it from the first try. Disappointment won’t be a part of your business life anymore, as you won’t really expect anything. You’ll just work hard towards your goals, and be happy with where you are. 4. Be Specific You are the leader, so you are the one who’s in charge of handing out tasks. If you want good outcomes, it’s important to give out specific tasks to each person. Delegate wisely. Show them that you trust in their judgment and are aware of their amazing qualities. Don’t try to over control their work. Check on them from time to time, but leave space for your employees to think freely. Avoid confusion by communicating properly. 5. Motivate Your Team   Last but not least, motivation is the key to success. As I mentioned previously, show your team that you trust them and care about them. Make time to chat with each one of them at least once every other day, and recognize their achievements if they’ve performed well. CONCLUSION: If you want to become a successful project manager, set proper goals and plan your days, choose the right team to work with, let go of any expectations, be specific, and motivate you team accordingly.  About The Author: Joe McLean is a dedicated, full-time freelance writer.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0291, And It Will Be About New Tools 2018 that I Discovered and Want to Share With You  Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article From Sandra Hayward The technological progress is moving too fast. Life has changed tremendously in the past few years and there are amazing tools that can make life easier. Whether you are studying, managing your business or simply enjoying your life, there are a lot of apps that you can use to realize your goals. I have tried a lot of apps and tools and some have actually changed my life.  Here are some of the best new tools that I want to share with you: 1. Pocket: This is one of the best content curation tools that every marketer should use. Content curation is the process of going through a lot of information and content in order to publish meaningful and valuable posts. Organizing and sharing existing content is extremely important because it helps you improve the status of your brand and increase your customers’ loyalty. This app is amazing because it allows you to save all your images, files, videos and articles in one place. Instead of sending yourself multiple emails with links that you should go through later or going through your bookmarks, this tool will help you save time and effort. It also integrates with other tools and apps for maximum convenience. You can also use it for personal purposes because it is so versatile. 2. Flipboard Gathering and collecting news from several sources can help you create your own online magazine. This app is a news aggregator that is used to collect the best online content that has already been shared on the internet. Focusing on the niches that are relevant to your business, you will be able to gain access to news that will keep your readers interested. You also get news published on different social media platforms. People trust a website that offers valuable information. You should always try to create informative articles, videos, and infographics that your target clients will find useful. Presenting news from various sources is definitely a plus. This app is used to gather all the information that might interest you on a personal level as well. A lot of students prefer to hire a professional service that offers different types of papers written in college. But if you prefer to write your own assignments, this app can be used to gain access to different relevant resources that you can read while studying.   3. Evernote: This is one of the most important apps that you can use to organize your data, tasks, time and goals. Evernote is a versatile tool that you should use to manage your personal and professional life at the same time. It can be synchronized across multiple devices and is compatible with every operating system. This is why it is considered to be one of the most widely used. You can use it to write your everyday to-do lists, shopping list or check the progress of your tasks against a checklist. Everything you write can be shared with other people to make sure that you are communicating with your employees, friends and family members in the most efficient way. The best thing about Evernote is that you can use it even when you don’t have an internet connection. Whether you are going through a list or simply checking some of the links you saved before, you can access everything while you are offline. 4. Reddit: Creating informative content improves your SEO, increases engagement and generates more leads to your website. All of these reasons will boost your sales and increase your brand’s loyalty. Reddit is an excellent content sharing platform that you can use to share your online content. It has an enormous amount of traffic and this means that you can gain access to a big number of leads who might be interested in your products or services. Users are organized in groups that are interested in certain themes or niches and this means that you get to identify your target customers easily. You will have to be careful about following the rules though, as the platform has some strict laws considering sales. Nevertheless, you can still present your content to people who will be most likely interested in what you offer. Moreover, this is an app that you can use to read about topics that interest you on the personal level. You are going to be among people who share the same interests. 5. Buffer: Your leads and target customers are using social media all the time. You need a good tool that will allow you to manage your social media content to make it accessible and easy to share. Buffer is one of the most trustworthy social media marketing tools because you can use it to schedule your posts on different platforms. You can easily manage the frequency of publishing your posts, analyze which ones were more efficient and why they were successful. CONCLUSION: These amazing tools are very easy to use. You can access them wherever you are to improve the quality of your life. Give them a try to see how they work. About The Author: Sandra Hayward is an author, a journalist and a single mother of two.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0289, And It Will Be About Is Social Media Necessary for Construction Contractors?  Today's Podcast Is Based On A a Guest Article Is From Tom Woodie, Writer And Editor  Let’s clarify what we’re talking about and why most businesses don’t get it, Social Media Marketing is unlike any other type of Marketing. People use Social Media websites for social reasons and social by definition doesn’t include the in your face business advertising approach that we have become all too familiar with. Social Media is the back door to business growth and opportunity through customer interaction, sharing and listening. Follow along as I share thoughts on one of the most popular questions raised by Contractors today…..  How do small businesses in the building and home services sector use Facebook to acquire new clients / jobs? The simple answer is that most small businesses probably can not use Facebook as a primary source for acquiring new clients until they develop a substantial Facebook following!  But, with that said I strongly suggest that you be involved with Facebook to at least a minimum degree from this day moving forward if you aren’t already. All businesses should be on Facebook because your past customers and future prospects are using it and that’s a hard and proven fact. Six months or a year from now you may be kicking yourself for not getting started six months or a year ago! Most contractors are working as lean as ever, they barely have enough help to get a job done in this challenging economy. So when it comes to dedicating additional time and resources to Social Media in an attempt to expand their Marketing reach on Internet platforms like Facebook, contractors can often feel overwhelmed and frustrated. My suggestion is to spend an hour or two monthly at a minimum working on your Facebook Marketing and Social Media skills. This can be done by the business owner, a family member, office help, or any other designated person, but it should be done with regularity and done with a specific purpose, which we will get to. Social Media continues to grow by leaps and bounds. With Facebook set for an IPO that could value the social network between $75 billion and $100 billion, it’s probably safe to say it’s not just a fad. Google is also now in the Social Media game with Google+ so you know they must see it as an opportunity to expand their Internet domination. For today I’m going to stick with Facebook as the subject target because they have currently captured the majority of the Social Media market and many of you may already be using it. There are things that you can and should be doing right now on Facebook as a business to increase your exposure and grow your contacts. What you do today could ultimately have a huge impact on your ability to acquire new clients through Social Media Marketing in the months and years to come. It may turn out that Facebook has an incredible impact on buying behavior just as Google has. It may never reach that level of business / marketing penetration or it may be much greater. My point is that I don’t know where it’s going and I don’t think anyone else can accurately predict it either. To be on the safe side Contractor Power is going to be in the Social Media game and I suggest you do the same with your business. If it turns out that Facebook is the next big ticket to acquiring new clients / jobs, you will probably be miles ahead of the local competition by getting started today. The goal of your Facebook Marketing is to reach and influence as many prospects within your market area as possible. To do that effectively you have to get viewers to your Facebook page and have them LIKE your business by clicking LIKE. By clicking LIKE they become attached to your business and possibly have information about your company displayed on their Facebook page or wall. When Facebook friends visit their page they may see some type of information about your company. That in a nutshell is the exponential growth and branding potential that makes Social Media such an exciting Marketing Vehicle. Since Social Media Marketing is unlike any other type of Marketing, you must adjust your approach to make it work. Think and act SOCIALY to connect and build your contact numbers. I have yet to see any company be successful at this without starting the process off with a powerful offer and regular interaction. Something for FREE, a CONTEST, COUPON, Informative VIDEO, there has to be something in it for the viewer if you want them to LIKE your page. As you develop your LIKE numbers you will need to post information / comments / observations / pictures on a regular basis, once or twice per month as we mentioned earlier. The main reason for doing this is that the people attached to your site through the LIKE process receive a notification on their Facebook page that you have just posted new information. When friends see you on another friends wall the exponential sharing process is working at warp speed. CONCLUSION: To give you a real world example of a Social Media Marketing process we are using our Facebook page to distribute the remaining parts of this article and more. As of this writing the final article length and or part counts has yet to be determined. The only thing that I know for sure is that we are just scratching the surface of a very deep and quickly evolving new medium in Social Media.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0288, And It Will Be About General Introduction and Steps Required in New Construction Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article From Christine Bourne Professional Editor, Consultant And Author A house is no longer just a structure serving as a dwelling for one or more persons belonging to a family. Besides providing shelter, our houses provide refuge from life’s stresses and dangers. When building a new home the ultimate objective is to have a peaceful, relaxing and worry free living. The pursuit for serene and simple homes has led to a more realistic approach towards home design. Before initiating a new construction, it is important to research the design thoroughly. It is always advisable to build a home following standard building practices. The first step in the direction begins with planning of the budget. Comparisons on how much you are willing to spend and what your new home is likely to cost is very important. It gives an analysis of approximate costs that is then used to modify building plans to meet the budget. When choosing the land, thoroughly check the soil condition, zoning, drainage, building codes, and regulation of the region before you begin the construction. Planning a new home requires the proficiency of teams of experts. This process of new construction of homes begins by first selecting either a contractor or an architect who will then select an expert team of a surveyor, excavator and an interior designer. These professionals will assist you throughout the design process in accomplishing your dream home. Plans for a new home are either taken from catalogued plans or are custom designed. Building a plan from a stock requires minor modifications in room size, windows and door styles or other details. However, custom designed homes are created as per the requirements of the family that will be living there. The plan which best suits your needs should be chosen. After finalizing all the details, it is important to get a written contract signed and dated by both the contractor and the architect. The contract illustrates the project in detail and includes a list of all the parts to be integrated into the house. Ways to Minimize New Construction Costs When building a new construction expense is a major issue, which needs contemplation. Estimating costs before finalizing the plans is always beneficial. Analyzing cost details is crucial for minimizing the expenditure. Check out with builders who have constructed homes similar to your requirements in order to get a rough idea of the cost. It is important to estimate in advance the price per square footage. Smaller homes have higher cost per square foot than larger homes. Minor details in the design of your home can make a huge difference in its cost. Estimating construction costs before finalizing the blue prints is the best way to cut down expenses. Building homes with even-numbered size helps in reducing waste materials. Rectangular or dome shaped homes cost less to build by making efficient use of materials. Selecting one that does not require much of cleaning and grading can minimize site preparation costs. Inflation also plays a significant role when evaluating costs. In general, costs of building a new construction increases around 3 to 6 % every year. CONCLUSION: Cost overruns generally take place by making changes, overspending allowances or by encountering unforeseen problems. Allowing additional 10% to cover unforeseen costs is a good idea. The journey from the dream house to the real house can be made fruitful by applying the above guidelines.   About The Author: Christine Bourne is a professional editor, consultant and author of many posts in https://topessaybuy.com.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0287, And It Will Be About Invaluable Advice for Project Management Success In 2018  Today's Podcast Is Based On An Article From Alyssa Johnson Professional Academic Writer, Blogger, And Coach When it comes to project management, techniques are generally shaped by a mix of what is trendy and what is traditional in a given enterprise environment. What are the current trends successful in creating a plan, making assignments, and allowing other algorithms to pursue respective goals? A good project manager knows how to spot valuable current trends to utilize while maintaining a set of traditional principles that have worked well for them throughout their career. To improve your skills as a forward-thinking project manager, we invite you to consider these tips for successful project management in 2018: Project management today looks different than it did even in 2017. The process is constantly changing, which forces managers to continue updating their knowledge base. There is always new software to learn to use, and not all are of equal quality or benefit, yet you must familiarize yourself with it all. It is a perennial challenge for managers to understand the latest news in IT and keep their teams up-to-date.           https://unsplash.com/photos/a2VqhP3d4Vg 1. Be motivated This sounds ridiculously evident, but in practice still ignored. Project management is the field where professionals time after time have to accomplish the work no one else wants to do. It might sound frustrating, but the reality is, PMs may say ‘yes’ to a project and after a while procrastinating with thoughts ‘why on earth did I agreed?’. It happens to everyone. To avoid such traps, you only have to have two answers “oh yea!” otherwise “no.” You will notice how often you are going to say no. Nor you neither your team want you to manage the project you don’t fully enjoy. 2. The basics of planning Every goal has a start and an end. Be it large or small, for commercial purposes or not, it consists of a major task that you should divide into smaller, more manageable segments. You can transfer the small parts of the major task to specialists or complete by yourself. This scheme is applicable to any type of task you have before you, such as renewing an apartment lease, starting a new business, going shopping, or even cooking dinner. The main idea is to complete all smaller tasks so that you can quickly and completely reach the ultimate goal. 3. Get a team and give up micromanagement You are good at managing and organizing projects. At the same time, you are bad at, assuming, web design, or writing content, or translating texts. If you believe you are good at something but management, you are doing micromanagement. 4. Successful mindset: everything can be managed For every project manager from junior to professional, it is important to find out how to maximize the chances of crashing a project’s goal. On the one hand, the person should acknowledge and remember, that all the circumstances depend on her or him. Everything can be adjusted, and every problem can be solved. The second important pattern of a successful mindset is utilizing PM tools. It is never a good idea to rely on intuition in making decisions, estimating time frames, or assigning a specialist. Everything should be tracked and thoughts through. 5. Universal project management advice For every project manager, from junior to professional, it is important to find out how to maximize the chances of crushing your project’s goal. On the one hand, each person should act as if all circumstances are dependent on her or him. Proceed with the mentality that you can adjust everything, and every problem is solvable. The second important pattern of a successful management mindset is utilizing PM tools. It is never a good idea to rely solely on intuition when making decisions, estimating periods, or assigning a specialist to a particular sub-task. Be sure to track everything and think through it thoroughly. 6. Braindump The first tip after receiving your project assignment is to jot down each idea that comes to mind. It does not matter how ridiculous it sounds, or if it makes no sense at all. You never know what you may find useful in the middle of the project when everyone is exhausted and generating zero fresh ideas. Write everything down, and put it aside for the time being. During the development process, every PM should consider six braindump focus areas: •   Tasks •   Ideas •   Resources •   Personnel •   Questions •   Problems Consider your crazy idea—i.e., how it looks before every bullet—and then put it aside to look at later. The more you retrieve from your head and put down on paper (or save in the cloud), the more space and mental energy you’ll have for productive, concentrated, and fast performances. Use boards, notepads, or other tools to keep all information you need to remember. It can serve as an external hard drive for your brain, relieving PMs from attempts to keep all juggling balls in the air at once. 7. Use a unified cloud Trying to find files saved in different cloud keepers, folders and all the mess of twenty browser tabs eventually appears not only frustrating but also to be a major time-killer. Teach your team and everyone you are working with to use the same cloud and keep to a consistent structure. A universal truth, this eases life significantly. It is also should be established and agreed upon before the work has started. Google Drive is the most common tool to share files today. Tip: Before you begin, make sure you don’t have automated synchronizations with your photo gallery (not only the laptop but by phone as well) unless you prefer sharing your photos with colleagues. 8. Simplicity Today we have plenty of attractive tools and secrets that continue to develop every day. PMs often want to try it all and find what is best for the team. It’s a nice idea if your schedule is entirely devoid of projects for the next few weeks. Discovering new tools, writing new guides, researching which of them are the best fit is another project unto itself that requires time and effort. If you are already overloaded with tasks and decide to reorganize the folder hierarchy or change the naming system, it won’t end well. Keep every structure as simple as you can: Keep It Simple, Stupid!  Rework it only when you have enough time to give it the necessary focus.         https://unsplash.com/photos/_r4DM9jIaKY 9. Naming, sharing, calendar Files have name and tags. Use both for structuring purposes. Project managers should aim to create a naming system that makes every file recognizable and easily retrievable by everyone in the team independently. Whether your team members are in Rio de Janeiro, Paris, or Shanghai, the language of file labeling should be universally clear. The calendar is another structural element, which makes things done timely and keeps track of time. This is particularly important for international students working on academic projects across continents to keep in harmony. If you’re in Dubai, but need coursework help in London, it is especially helpful to keep your calendar in sync to avoid missing deadlines.     10. Communication Slack, Trello, and Quip are generally the best options for commercial chatting. Instant messaging requires time and effort. Don’t force people to use Skype, Telegram or other messengers oriented towards social media. Another bad idea is using a private account. Imagine chat windows from your client and mom right next to each other--the risk of confusing the two is high. In short, it is not ideal for planning projects and cultivating corporate ideas. These communication devices work best for project planning and running corporate communication.   Conclusion IPs for successful project management are developing very fast. While others are trying to find out what is modern and appropriate today in 2018, you can utilize traditional winning project management steps and keep up with the year’s trends at the same time. Always remember to keep it simple: the more tools you use, the more time you spend on planning. About The Author:  Alyssa Johnson is a professional academic writer, blogger, and coach.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0286, And It Is Based On A Guest Article From James Daily Professional Writer And Content Manager At FlashEssay.   Being a copywriter means that you have a responsibility to both your audience and your client. This rule goes double for copywriters that work in the construction industry where even a slight mistake can cause injuries, revenue loss or worse. But how do you go about writing copy for an industry as delicate and important as the construction one? Pauline Farris, a content specialist at IsAccurate says: “Copywriters who inquire about their projects before taking them on will likely bear better results in the long run.” With that in mind, let’s take a look at several steps which can help you write effective copy in the construction industry. No assumptions Copywriters are often hired based on their previous track record. However, when it comes to construction, architecture and civil engineering, this rule doesn’t apply. Every state, company and contractor has their own set of rules and regulations that need to be followed. Copywriters are required to do proper research before writing a single word of copy for their new client. Just because you came to be hired doesn’t mean that you know everything there is to know about the project. Talk to your client and ask them for specific information, special requirements and no-no words you should avoid. Construction industry copywriting is different than essay writing, UI copywriting or even white paper writing. It’s delicate work that can cause irreversible mistakes if it’s not taken seriously. Ask for specific word count Construction industry is unlike any other industry when it comes to copywriting. There will often be very little space left for writers to work with once the project is set in stone. This means that you should talk to your contractor about the word count you can count on (pun intended). Focus your attention to creating very short, direct messages, announcements and warnings. Most construction copywriting revolves around the creation of materials related to construction sites (including the promotional spiel). Make sure that you know how much leeway you have when it comes to your copy before writing a wall of text that won’t fit anywhere. Use negative space Construction industry copywriting differentiates itself from other types of copy with its emphasis on urgency of information. While some copy types might target sales or CTAs, construction industry serves to alert the reader of impending danger. For example, a simple STOP sign with a subsequent elaboration is often enough to drive a successful construction copy forward. This means that you should make ample use of negative space and contrast your writing with the space you are given by your client. Make sure that your writing is as bold and legible as possible. Construction copy also has a much smaller timespan for the message to be delivered. As long as your message is loud, clear and as short as possible, you will have achieved your goal. Don’t be smart – be consistent While this may put some writers off, it may also encourage others to try the construction industry copywriting niche. This niche allows for very little creativity or wiggle room when it comes to mixing and matching words. There are established words that mean different things in our collective society. If you tell someone to “Pay attention”, they will do so without excuse. However, if you try to be clever and say something along the lines of “Hey you, take a look” it will likely end in disaster. Don’t act smart when working in the construction industry because your work may cost someone their health, wellbeing or life itself. Once you get into the groove of using established lingo and follow your client’s rules, you will be much more effective at writing construction industry copy. Implement tools to improve your copywriting Writing tools are an important aspect of copywriting – they separate professionals from would-be writers. However, it’s often difficult to pinpoint exactly which tools to use for specific tasks. In the case of construction industry copywriting, editing and formatting tools can make a huge difference. Let’s take a look at a few useful tools and services that can help you develop a better copy for your client: ProWritingAid – One of the most popular editing tools, which supports different writing styles and both British and American English spelling. ResumesCentre – This is a professional writing platform with a plethora of writers capable of helping you out. You can get quality pointers and assistance from graduated writers with expertise in different fields (construction industry included). GetGoodGrade – Using a proofreading service while creating copy is just as important as with regular writing. GetGoodGrade is a platform dedicated to proofreading, editing and formatting of different types of writing. You can get good prices and quick turnaround on your project which means that your workflow won’t suffer at all. Citatior – Your client might ask for citations to be implemented into their copy. There is no need to write that particular aspect of your copy by hand when free tools such as Citatior are available online. All you have to do is insert raw data into empty fields and choose the type of citation you want to generate. HotEssayService – While the name might be misguiding, this is actually a very decent writing service capable of producing construction industry copy. You can use it when you need to delegate work due to an overflow or to simply check your writing before submission. Test your copy Lastly, the construction industry requires you to test your copy before publishing it. You can do this with a private test group or with collaboration from your client. Whichever method you choose, make sure to present your copy to the group without any prior explanation. Focus on their reaction and subsequent actions to see if your copy makes sense in the context. This is a far more effective way of testing whether or not you hit the nail on the head with your copy instead of hoping for the best. This will also add a layer of professionalism to your practice that the clients will appreciate. Take your time and test the waters before calling it a day. In summation In reality, the construction copywriting industry is not unlike other writing niches. It comes with its own set of rules and requirements just like any other type of work. What separates it however, is the added responsibility and awareness required from the writer. Writers that identify themselves with technical writing will be right at home when it comes to the construction industry. Those that are looking for creative release might want to check other copywriting niches out instead. About The Author:   James Daily is a professional writer and content manager at FlashEssay.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0285, And It Will Be About Contractor Bookkeeping Issues With Accounts Payable It is easy to put transactions in Accounts Payable (A/P) Aging Summary, and them forget about them. When writing a check from the checking QuickBooks does not automatically go look to see if you put something in Accounts Payable. Sometimes Accounts Payable will have transactions in Accounts Payable that do not belong there. For Example: Credit card balances or monthly payments. Credit cards like checking and savings accounts need to have all their transactions entered in and reconciled. Short-cutting and putting in a bill will distort the financial statements and will not have a clear understanding of details. Taxes due to the Internal Revenue Service, State, and Local Payroll taxes or Sales tax-related obligations. Employee or owners child support payments do not belong in Accounts Payable. Payments to and from the company and between owners is Owners Draw, Loan to Members or Loan To Shareholder and related transactions do not belong in Accounts Payable because you are not an outside vendor. Do not create a bill for the company to pay. Anytime it is a company expense; the company should pay direct. There is nothing messier than constant reimbursements to the owner by the company. A bill with no detail just looks like a bogus payment to the owner trying to take money out the company that is being masked as an expense. The old saying “Devil In The Details” Transactions in QuickBooks need to be explainable without any need to have a story problem to go with it. The Memo line in QuickBooks is short for a reason – less is better and more transactions are better than fewer transactions. Annual tax returns are many pages giving the detail (which may be stated over and over again on numerous pages). As with Accounts Receivable, the same type of detail applies to Accounts Payable (A/P) Aging Summary. Accounts Payable (A/P) Aging Summary Is Like The Fuel Gauge On Your Vehicle Are the transactions Current, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, >90 and Total? Add in the dimension of payment can be done from multiple banks, credit card accounts and in the case of suppliers, there may be credited to be applied. Any time there are unpaid balances the first place to look is, did the amount get paid directly from the checking account? Was the amount slightly different (including a late charge or additional vendor bill not entered into QuickBooks)? Again if transactions are in as Accounts Payable, that should not be it gives the appearance of overinflated expenses. To be in QuickBooks under Accounts Payable, the transaction is being entered in as a bill. Any payments paid directly by the checkbook does not automatically know that a bill has been created. Same with any payment made with a credit card; there is no link between the credit card payment and the bill unless QuickBooks is told the bill was paid by credit card. Negative numbers in Accounts Payable (A/P) Summary means that vendor was paid as a bill but without any bill being entered. Accounts Payable aging report reflects how long it is taking you to pay your bills. Unless you have won the lottery (which we all want to do), then you need to collect before paying your bills. The most favorite way for Contractors to pay their bills is to Collect a job deposit, buy a new vehicle, tools or equipment and then pay any outstanding bills. When paying Old Bills with New Money (not money collected from the job that the billed were associated with) is “Robbing Peter To Pay Paul” (author unknown) I get it. It is a more natural number to know. How much your customer owes you (especially if the job is Time and Material or Cost Plus) is hard. Not all of the bills may not have arrived from your Vendors or Sub Contractors. Then there is the issue of how you billed. Was it clear and easy for the customer to pay you? What is guaranteed is the Bills will come and continue to occur. You may forget or forgive to the bill and receive payment from your Customer, but it is unrealistic to expect or hope that your Vendors, Suppliers or Subcontractors will do the same. Bills, bills, and more bills are setups on auto-pay so they will get their money. Question is how will you pay the bills? When will you pay the bills? Are you paying with Income from Customers? Credit Cards racking up your debt? The line of Credit which again is racking up debt? Personal savings or investments? (borrowing from tomorrow to pay for yesterday) Borrowing on your House? Borrowing from a Pay Day Type of Lender (some take repayment daily automatically from your banking account) Borrowing from the Government by not filing and paying by the due dates. Keeping up and paying bills is a challenge in the best of times. With proper bookkeeping you can know Whom You Owe, When Your Payment Is Due, If you plan you can pay off the balance in full. Moreover, my favorite is not double pay if it can be avoided. It is a big deal to know the rules. Sometimes asking for a payment plan is the only option. If it is necessary, ask nicely, ask politely, ask as long of time pay as possible, for as small of a monthly payment as they will give you. It is better to double up on a low payment (to pay off sooner) then have a large payment that is impossible to pay.    Conclusion: Helping Contractors around the world is one of the reasons we added the FastEasyAccountingStore.com Follow our blogs, listen to Contractor Success M.A.P.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0283, And It Will Be About Every Contractor Should be Paperless - And Here’s Why Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article Is From Anastasia Harold - Coolfront Affiliate Manager Running a contracting company has countless challenges. Most of your time and energy is usually focused on customer satisfaction, rightfully so. However, things such as billing, invoicing and paperwork are critical parts of owning a business but are often neglected or mismanaged. Paperless invoicing and billing solve a variety of these issues. Sometimes paperwork is lost altogether. A cloud-based paperless system stores all your important documents on secure servers, so nothing is ever truly lost. In addition, digital documents are rarely lost by your customers, the ones who need to pay you! And even if they do lose it, it’s easy to simply resend the digital version. Digital paperwork is easy to read. It’s much less susceptible to errors, thanks to autocorrect and automatic totally of line items. If the people in your office are struggling to decipher handwriting and calculate totals, chances are your customers are as well. Figuring out discounts and sales tax can be confusing for even the most experienced person. Electronic invoices take the guesswork out of reading and computing. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, is cost. Paperless saves you money, no matter how you slice it. In fact, some options such as the Coolfront Mobile app can increase your profits by 30%, thanks to an increase in efficiency and the built in zero-cost aspect, coupled with built in flat rate pricing customized to your business. For a free trial of a zero-cost paperless invoicing system, featuring a fully managed flat rate pricing database for HVAC, plumbing and electrical repairs, visit www.coolfront.com/fasteasyaccounting Have questions or need help getting started?

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0282, And It Will Be About Three Easy Ways for Contractors to Save Money on Home and Kitchen Design   Today's Guest Article Is From Mason Gregory When designing a home, it can be very easy to allow the costs to mount up and to get out of hand. Contractor who need to save money can struggle to know where to cut back, so this article will give three top tips for easy ways to cut costs and to get great value for money. 1. Opt For An Open Floor Plan If you go for an open floor plan for your home design, you’ll find that you can use a smaller footprint but with greater flexibility. Planning for one large downstairs room that incorporates a kitchen opening into one larger space will allow greater versatility when it comes to how to use that space. One family may choose to use that space for dining and relaxing, while another family might prefer to use part of the area for studying or work, and yet another might want to create a play space for the kids within the larger open plan room. Without the need for any additional dividers, internal walls or doors, you can maximize the floor space while minimizing costs. 2. Use Salvaged Materials If there are any existing materials in the property which can be salvaged and re-used as part of the new design, this is a great way of saving money. Any leftover lumber, for example, could be incorporated into some new shelving, so take the time to determine whether any scraps are really rubbish before throwing them away. Not only can you use materials which have been salvaged from the old design, you can also use reclaimed materials. Reclaimed materials are not only extremely cost effective when compared to those which have been newly sourced, but they are also environmentally sound. With increasing numbers of people keen to reduce their carbon footprint, using salvaged items as part of any home or kitchen design project increases sustainability and brings the project in line with 21st century goals and trends. 3. Shop Around For Value In areas where you can’t find reclaimed items, or where it would be more cost effective to buy new, it’s always important to shop around to find the best possible value for money. The kitchen is one area of home design where you can end up over-spending dramatically, and therefore taking the time to look into the most affordable yet high quality products on the market today is essential. You can do this quickly and easily by visiting a site like https://kitchenfaucets.reviews/. Here, you can find not only the best products to fit into your budget, but those which also meet your individual needs. You will also find genuine expert opinions to give you a good idea of what to expect from each product. Taking the time to read the relevant information about what to look for when shopping for kitchen fixtures and fittings will enable you to make an informed purchasing decision, while the handy pros and cons will allow you to see at a glance which products best match your requirements. CONCLUSION: The more info and great deals you check out, the best promotions you’ll find and the better value for money you’re sure to enjoy.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0280, And It Will Be About Unique Contractor Bookkeeping Problems With Receivables Challenges Of Keeping Accounts Receivable Simple And Up To Date Creating an invoice for the entire project seems like it is the simple way to track payments and have the current balance. The harsh reality is that if all of the work is NOT done Accounts receivable is reflecting a balance due that is NOT REAL. With Change Orders to the projects (up or down), the original contract is usually not the end number. Accounts receivable is a reflection of money you expect to collect NOW. More extensive projects (especially new construction) the billing and payment schedule typically is a bill on the 25th of the month and hope to be paid on or before the 10th of the following month. Anything not paid is going to age on the Accounts Receivable (A/R) Aging Summary. Job Deposits, Retention, Notes Receivable (long-term payment plans) are not part of Accounts Receivable. Credits from suppliers, repayment of Loans to Owners, Employees, Friends, and Family do not belong in Accounts Receivable. Follow up as necessary for payment but Accounts Receivable is for expected Income from Customers and clients for work performed. Accounts Receivable (A/R) Aging Summary Is Like The Tachometer On Your Vehicle Do you have numbers in Current, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, >90? What is your Total? Reminder you have already paid your Labor, Material, Other Costs, Subcontractor, Taxes on all this money. Every dollar sitting there is a big deal. Your contractor (as a sub) may be pay as paid and you might have that same agreement with your subcontractors, but your supplier has been paid or will expect to be NOW! Reminder – You should be collecting Job Deposits Do Not Borrow Money On Your Credit Card At 18% And Lend It At 0% You Are Not A Bank - Never use your high interest credit cards and supplier accounts to provide financing to your customers in the form of providing a lot of labor, material, subcontractors and rental equipment hoping to get paid later on down the road. McDonald's Restaurants Earns - Massive profits and part of the reason is cash flow. I love their business model; customers order first, pay second and get food last. No invoicing, no waiting for the check to arrive and hoping it will clear the bank. They say just Show Me The Money! You Can Offer Financing - Accept credit cards! Get setup at a bank and/or credit union that will offer to loan your construction client's money for small projects under $25,000. They sign paperwork with the lender; you do the work and get paid. Accepting Credit And Debit Cards - is like having an "Electronic Armored Car" on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week ready to take your money to your bank automatically. If your QuickBooks is setup properly an invoice can be emailed to your customer or clients and when they open it there is an option for them to pay by credit card immediately. For Example - You finished a construction project at 01:00PM, went to your office at 05:00PM, opened QuickBooks, put together an invoice and emailed it to your customer at 06:00PM. They arrive at home at 07:00PM. After dinner they check their email at 09:00PM. They open your email review your invoice and pay the bill at 10:00PM. Don't Ever Finance - Your customer or client's project by providing substantial amounts of labor, material, subcontractors and rental equipment hoping to get paid later down the road.  Having Owned And Operated - Several construction businesses I know how important cash flow is to the success or failure of any business and especially construction companies like yours! We Have Clients - Who took a while to understand why I was hard on them and kept saying "Get The Money". Once they realized what real peace of mind was, paying all the bills on time and having money left over for vacations, toys and to support their favorite charities it became crystal clear. Get Enough Job Deposits - And progress payments so that you are always using "Other People's Money" (O.P.M.) to pay for the labor, material, subcontractors, rental equipment and overhead of their construction projects.When you invoice your customer for the entire amount of the job it makes it very hard to keep track of the unbilled portion because as change orders occur (up or down) the amount due to changes. Then the contractor is trying to figure out what the current billing is due outside of QuickBooks. Creating a double billing will then run the risk of overstating income, being liable for and paying taxes on a number that is not real. Cleaning up the QuickBooks file, we find contractors will have entered into QuickBooks an Estimate as an Invoice based on their best hope that the Yes from their customer is real.Unable paid balances in Accounts Receivable Aging Summary can be as simple as sales tax adjustment, payment received and no invoice was created. Slight overpayment where client rounded up payment for convenience (tip). Other times payment was posted directly to the checking account, paid into Paypal (then a different amount transferred to checking) or money received was less due to merchant services fees. All over the course of time will distort the numbers. You the Contractor looking at the Balance Sheet and say "I can buy [fill in the blank] because I have this much in Accounts Receivable". The banker looks at the Accounts Receivable and wonders why you cannot or won’t collect the balance due. Many tax accountants suggest any amounts over 90 days should be written off. Lots of bad debts are not helpful in getting loans from the bank. Again negative numbers and low balances are invoicing issues. Large balances are sometimes the result of a number billed ahead of work performed or a result of a poor contract or collection policy. Taking credit cards is cheap in comparison to penalties and late fees, especially to State and Federal Government. The question you could ask yourself is paying 2% discount less than paying 18% or more in fines and penalties?

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0279, And It Will Be About Construction Contractors Need A Nudge To Change Construction Contractors know lots about the work they do. As an expert in their fields from finish carpentry, tile setter, masonry, roofer or landscaper the finished product looks beautiful. When a skilled craftsman does the work, it looks effortless. Others think I could have done that. Most of the time we are so busy looking for the finished product that we are unappreciative of all the work that happens behind the walls, floor, and ceilings. It is magic when we turn on the light switch, run the dishwasher, start a load of laundry and take a shower or turn the thermostat up or down. Air Conditioning is awesome on a hot day. For us; in the Seattle area, “Hot” is only slightly warm to Phoenix, Arizona or many parts of California. Seattle gets much Rain and once in awhile snow (like over my house) it may be raining everywhere else, but if there is snow in the forecast, I will see snow for a little while. It may not stick but is usually what you want to see on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. As May is over; I am thinking of a couple of remarkable years. One year it rained almost every day; usually, late afternoon, early evening and was nice during the day. Another year we had hot, sunny days. It was air conditioner weather (for Seattle that is 80 Degrees) all ten days of it. Then it’s gone.   Rest of the summer is warm if we are lucky and chilly, gloomy and gray when we are not. We keep thinking those few sunny days in May could not have been our entire summer. However, that year – It was.   Many people say I will start something new Next Year; there is always the Next Year. There is always, today, tomorrow, this week, next week, this month, next month and finally next year.  Question is what are you waiting for? Are you starting something or ending something? Reminder stating an S-Corp can be done at any time.   I hear this a lot. I am thinking about this. Thinking and planning is always a good thing. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between planning forever and stepping out and doing something. Commencing To Begin! Well known phase is “You Can Fix Something” (author unknown) I like chatting with contractors like you and learning about your business. One of the things I learned is that many people who are an “artist at their craft” are not usually as good about the paperwork. That is okay. There is a Difference Between Reasons and Results. The government likes results (numbers, reports) One of the reasons is that there is an illusion that “I am fantastic at “this” so anybody can do “that.” It can’t be that hard; forgetting all of the time, the effort it took to be the master craftsman at what they do.     Another reason is the illusion of time. Bookkeeping should not take very long. I will get to it tomorrow. As weeks and months go by. Tomorrow never comes, and the paperwork piles up from Yesterday and Today.  Tomorrow becomes today, and you still do not have enough time; soon it will be Yesterday. Choosing software based on its ability to sync with an app does not always have the desired results. Garbage in still equals garbage out no matter how many apps you tell to “Just Do It.”   It is unrealistic to expect Software and an App to understand your business and give you proper reports.  If you don’t know what you are doing “How do you expect to be able to tell the software what to do?” Choosing Somebody, anybody to do your bookkeeping can have a negative impact on your Budget. Numerous Tax Accountants try to do the bookkeeping and get lost. My suggestion is to choose someone who specializes in Construction Accounting. I have had prospects tell me that their Neighborhood High School Student, their Nanny, their friend, on a few occasions a condition of being girlfriend was that that person had to do the bookkeeping. Rinse and Repeat Model! Recommend that spouses always be involved in the business.   Your spouse is your partner. Who better to help watch the money.   As a small contractor, the money goes fast enough without any outside help. Ownership (even a small percentage) means that your spouse has check-writing authority with the bank. You are busy but what if something happened to you?      Ownership also allows your spouse to talk to Government Agencies, make payment plans as needed. Without that; each of the agencies could in effect “Pat your spouse on the head like a little kid” and say we don’t have to talk to your spouse because his | her name is not on any of the paperwork (HA, HA) In my opinion, some of them are quite gleeful about it. Remember, they can’t see the crisis from their house. The ability to move money, write a check does not impact their lives in any negative way. We are here to help. Promote owners and spouses have a basic understanding of their numbers. If you are feeling confident in your choice of “Who Does Your Bookkeeping” Fantastic.  We have Customized products to assist on www.FastEasyAccountingStore.com We are continually improving our processes and workflows. Sometimes we choose software that “Looks Good” but in reality does not always work as well as we like. The software may be too hard for Staff or Clients to use. Other times we find that the software after a few updates works wonderfully and we embrace using it. If it does not work, we look for other options. What 3rd Party software do you use?

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0277, And It Will Be About Construction Contractor Embezzlement Detective - Kelly Paxton Part 2 of 2 Kelly Paxton specializes in finding and helping Construction Contractors, other businesses, and government agencies root out Pink-Collar Crime in their companies. The term Pink-Collar Crime was made popular Dr. Kathleen Daly in the 1980s to describe a type of embezzlement crime committed by female employees who may have limited opportunity. It is thought women in this situation may have a history of committing low level crimes such as check kiting and bookkeeping fraud. Part of the reasoning is women tend to be in less powerful positions compared to men who had a history of engaging white-collar crime. During our Podcast interview which you can listen to Part 1 by clicking the play button above I asked Kelly why she became interested in Pink Collar Crime. She replied "...When I started working at the Sheriff’s Office I became intimately involved in seeing the devastation caused by small business embezzlement. What I did not know was the perpetrator committing these crimes. When I was a federal agent most of my targets were typical White Collar Criminals—in other words men. Kelly goes on to say she was seeing women who had violated the trust of their employers. Out of all the cases she worked at the Sheriff’s Office there was only one male embezzler they came across. The rest were women, all kinds of women: old, young and middle aged. Some had gambling habits, some of them wanted to buy stuff they didn't need, with money they didn't have to impress people. They appeared to share two things in common— they had earned their supervisor's trust and they had the opportunity to embezzle. The following is a true story from Pink-Collar-Crime Wall of Shame: Stealing from her sister... Another medical office embezzlement but this one is a family affair.  Older sister  who is a well paid ($110k per year) office manager stole from her younger sister’s medical practice.  Can you imagine the Thanksgiving dinner they had?  Well it probably didn’t happen.  Reading the story http://bit.ly/2A53LiM is like a soap opera.  At this point therapy may not help. According to the affidavit: “Additionally, airplane flights and in-flight charges were purchased using the card, along with lengthy expensive hotel stays and various vacation charges,…Also noted were charges for plastic surgery and cosmetics.“Lastly, many personal charges (were made), such as car repair, car registration, gas, music, horse boarding, various saddles and accessories for horses and other pets and miscellaneous grocery shopping, etc.” Then in 2014 she came down with an eating disorder and other health issues that prompted her to begin “binge shopping,” according to the affidavit. In addition, one of her daughters began “doing really well with horse riding,” so she began paying for those expenses with clinic credit cards. For everyone who follows me on Twitter or has seen my presentation you know #horsesareaclue. They are expensive and a pink flag. By summer 2016, Shannon Nagle said “she had ‘all sorts of justifications’ for what she was doing and was ‘angry and in denial which was a bad combo,'” the affidavit states. “She felt unappreciated at work, wasn’t getting raises while other employees were and felt that (Melinda) Nagle and (her business partner) believed she wasn’t worth her salary,” according to Fain’s affidavit. Those rationalizations are never a reason to steal but businesses need to understand that everyone rationalizes and opportunity is the only part of the #fraudtriangle you can control. The takeaway from this sad story is that trust but verify even if they are a family member.  I trust my sister with my life but not every family is that lucky. Click Here For Part 1 Podcast Interview With Kelly Paxton, CFE, PI Speaker And Fraud Consultant Editor’s Note: I have only known Kelly Paxton a short time and I trust her and find she is very knowledgeable and capable on the subject of embezzlement and fraud.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0276, And It Will Be About Interview With Brian Javeline Of MyOnlineToolBox.com Today's Article Is From Brian Javeline Of My Online Toolbox While the title of this story mentions website leads, planning also can incorporate many other forms of leads.  However, we decided to focus on website leads since so many contractors simply do not have a great online presence designed to capture more quality business opportunities. Go open your last version of your Marketing Plan.  You will then not believe how fast time flies by.  It will feel like just the other day where many of you were making all sorts of plans to change things, then time went by, then you got busy so the plans went in the to-do pile.   Unfortunately that implies that you are not doing anything specific to attract better customers. Many people have never had a Marketing Plan at all, which is even worse than not following through on your plans.  It is kind of like constantly building something without any measurements or schematics whatsoever. The most common situation we run into is hearing contractors updating their websites and making changes without any concrete planning.  Most companies rely on their website company for their marketing strategy which is a mistake, unless that website company clearly has a strong foothold in this particular industry.   Always remember, just because someone has mastered Google Docs or Microsoft Word doesn’t necessarily mean they know how to write a concise story.  It is the same thing with many website programmers who have first focused on websites and SEO without first having a strong background in marketing. Want better customers in the future? Then start planning for them today. It will take some time to methodically organize yourself to market correctly. That begins with a Marketing Plan or an update to your existing Marketing Plan. And many do not want to embrace this fact, but it will take months for these efforts to all come together after you are done. This includes making the correct updates to your website, Facebook and YouTube for Social Sharing, Google Reviews for consumer rankings, etc. So start today, then take a few months to organize yourself slowly, and then start to reap the rewards sometime in the next quarter with momentum picking up around two quarters out.  It is amazing how one’s business can change for life once you actually do something about it. Don’t use the excuse you are busy and waiting for things to slow down. Guess what? That is the same thing the majority of your peers are saying. Ever wonder what the top companies do differently than you to be overly successful? Much of it is not magic. Much of it is business practices and continuity with no excuses. I hear all the time “you do not know how lucky you are to get so many quality leads”. And I respond the same way, “No, luck has nothing to do with it.” It took planning, execution and persistence to build the momentum of image and results we produce. In fact, that is why I like to focus on the words More Quality Leads as opposed to just saying More Leads. I used to get too many leads that it was actually a distraction. Now our business has vastly reduced the time dealing with tire kickers which gives us more time to focus on good customers and quality leads. These quality leads turn into quality customers who in turn give us some quality referrals. And the merry-go-round spins. Sure, bad leads continue to come, but at a much slower pace and they are easy to let go. Perhaps you are doing well with your marketing and leads. That is great. Then at least make sure to not rest on your laurels and keep it up. But maybe you are wondering why are you so busy and not making as much profit as you thought. Or maybe you are getting leads and not closing as many as you thought. Or perhaps you really do not get as much referral business as you hoped for with your existing clients. You can change so much by identifying a problem and planning to change it. Remember that marketing is different than sales and should be treated as distinct topics.  Many contractors are so much better at sales since they are accustomed to bragging about what they do, and that is fine.  But many really have not positioned themselves to be clearly aware of how a consumer researches for their services.  And many more do not position themselves to differentiate from the competition. Consider taking a step back and creating a Marketing Plan that captures your specific services, your specific territory and positions you against your competition.  Many times you will discover weaknesses in your marketing that you were clearly unaware of.  Many times you will also discover strengths in your business that you are not properly using in your marketing.  And then you can make great implementation decisions when you see what your competitors are bad at as well as good at. A Marketing Plan is an absolute game changer when it comes to focusing on your objectives to Get More Quality Leads. And maybe a Marketing Plan is too much to take on right now.   Then at least consider learning the Basics of Marketing & Website SEO Strategies.  You would be amazed how better you can critique yourself, or perhaps work so much better with your existing website company simply because you embrace the topics better.  Most programmers do not have the time to explain to you what they do, and at the same time most owners do not really know what is going on with their sites.  It doesn’t have to just be a leap of faith when it comes to this critical part of your business. CONCLUSION: The future of having better customers is achievable if you have a road map to change the direction. Your planning to go into that direction should start today.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0275, And It Will Be About Construction Contractor Embezzlement Detective - Kelly Paxton Part 1 Of 2 Kelly Paxton specializes in finding and helping Construction Contractors, other businesses, and government agencies root out Pink-Collar Crime in their companies. The term Pink-Collar Crime was made popular Dr. Kathleen Daly in the 1980s to describe a type of embezzlement crime committed by female employees who may have limited opportunity. It is thought women in this situation may have a history of committing low level crimes such as check kiting and bookkeeping fraud. Part of the reasoning is women tend to be in less powerful positions compared to men who had a history of engaging white-collar crime. During our Podcast interview which you can listen to Part 1 by clicking the play button above I asked Kelly why she became interested in Pink Collar Crime. She replied "...When I started working at the Sheriff’s Office I became intimately involved in seeing the devastation caused by small business embezzlement. What I did not know was the perpetrator committing these crimes. When I was a federal agent most of my targets were typical White Collar Criminals—in other words men. Kelly goes on to say she was seeing women who had violated the trust of their employers. Out of all the cases she worked at the Sheriff’s Office there was only one male embezzler they came across. The rest were women, all kinds of women: old, young and middle aged. Some had gambling habits, some of them wanted to buy stuff they didn't need, with money they didn't have to impress people. They appeared to share two things in common— they had earned their supervisor's trust and they had the opportunity to embezzle. The following is a true story from Pink-Collar-Crime Wall of Shame: Stealing from nuns for lingerie and leasing a sports car An Orange County real estate consultant who stole $285,000 from Roman Catholic nuns and used it to buy lingerie and lease a sports car was convicted Tuesday of three counts of wire fraud. After a three-day trial, a federal jury in Santa Ana convicted Linda Rose Gagnon, also known as Linda Gualtieri-Gagnon, 59, of defrauding the U.S. Province of the Religious of Jesus and Mary. Asst. U.S. Atty. Robert Keenan said Gagnon told the nuns in 2008 that she was an expert in handling short-sale and foreclosure transactions and offered to help them buy a small home in San Diego they were renting for retired sisters in the religious order. But Gagnon did not use the order's funds to purchase the retirement home. Instead, she used it to buy lingerie, lease an Audi and pay off debts for her real estate finance company, Rose Enterprise, Inc. according to Keenan. After only 64 days, Gagnon spent the entire sum -- $285,000, he said. "She paid off $42,000 she borrowed. There was $448 at Chadwick's of London, an intimate apparel store in San Francisco. Then she went shopping at Nordstroms, visited the nail salon and of course a pet-sitting service.... She also leased an Audi TT sports car," Keenan said. "She was living nicely on the nuns' money." The nuns, after initially accepting Gagnon's explanations for delays in the home purchase, realized they had been defrauded when she did not respond to their messages. The order specializes in charitable and educational work. At one point, Gagnon told the nuns she needed another $285,000 to buy the San Diego residence, saying the original $285,000 was tied up in a “triple escrow” on another property. Throughout the trial, Gagnon's lawyer portrayed her as operating a bad business and accidentally comingling the funds. Gagnon did not testify, but two Catholic priests took the witness stand to attest to her character, Keenan said. They assured the court "she is really quite honest," he added. At sentencing next February, Gagnon could receive up to 20 years in prison for each of the three counts. Keenan said a more realistic sentence would be about four years total. Keenan said the nuns eventually had to come up with another $255,000 to buy the home, which is about three miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0275, And It Will Be About Four Project Management Tips and Tricks for Construction Contractors  Today's Guest Article Is From Chanell Alexander  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital projects bring a numerous amount of moving parts for construction contractors to regulate as project managers. Once someone scores the bid, the planning and strategy almost begin immediately. The leadership of the team, budget, design quality, and management of time rests on the head of the contractor. How can these professionals diminish the stress and stay on task? Read on for four project management tips and tricks for construction contractors. Make Planning a Daily Practice Contractors should always go into every project with a comprehensive construction plan that includes a strategy for budgets, hiring, and procurement for suppliers. Monitoring these developments should be a routine practice. Contractors should spend at least 10 to 20 minutes a day to assess how progress is being made regarding budgets, productivity, and deadlines. Plans should be revised and redeveloped as needed, and spending each day on planning allows contractors to immediately react to a scope or budget change before waiting too long to address potential problems before they spiral out of control. Install Mechanisms for Team Collaboration Communication is vital in any project, but even more so in a capital construction project. Safety, and staying in line with project scope depends on it. Since most of the work is done in the field, it may be difficult for workers to ask a question or for contractors to have the time to answer them. Using a team collaboration platform, like Workfront, can help contractors answer questions, spread news, and update the team on relevant information. Assign Tasks Digitally and Track Time Utilizing a project management system is going to make managing a capital project move a lot smoother. Asana is another excellent choice for a user-friendly project management app to assign and track progress. The app can allow contractors to multi-task, store important documents, reduce emails, and quickly check the development of the project. Asana also integrates with Harvest, a time tracking application that allows workers to track their time so managers can immediately send out invoices from the app. Managers can keep records of invoices and project scheduling using both applications together. There are also other project management tools available for contractors to find the system that best works for them. This project management TrustMap can help managers determine what tool is best for their use case. Use a System to Help with Inventory It is easy for managers to become overwhelmed when it comes to ordering supplies and managing inventory for capital projects. This is why it is crucial to have systems to allow project managers to estimate how many materials they will need depending on the project scope. Using an inventory management system can help reduce waste and over-ordering to decrease the cost of a product. The Wrap Up Managing a capital project can be a tough gig. Having to hire the right talent, maintain inventory, stay on-budget, and adhere to the needs of clients. However, project management tools and some savvy planning can help managers keep the train from going off of the rails. While project managers experience struggles regardless of the industry, construction contractors have unique obstacles that the right system and strategy can remove.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0273, And It Will Be About Home Pro Success Helps Contractors Generate High Quality Leads Home Pro Success And How They Help Contractors Generate Leads Leads, Leads, and more Leads! That is what contractors want! You post it on hundreds of forums, you talk about at the business network events with your friendly competitors. Facebook is one of the hottest places to generate leads for your construction contracting company. It works for Handyman, Trade Contractors, General Contractors, Remodel Contractors, and home builders. I had the pleasure to interview Corey Philip, founder of HomeProSuccess and he shared some tips and tricks to help contractor like you get more qualified leads. 1. Keep It Simple Because Simple Works. Corey is a huge fan of data, without over complicating it because too much data slows down the buying process. He would rather keep everything simple and consistent, and he applies that to everything in his business from operations to accounting, and marketing. 2. Nobody Wants To Hear From Salespeople. Nobody wakes up one morning as says “I want to be contacted by someone who will sell me something because I do not get enough opportunities to buy stuff I do not need, with money I do not have to impress people I do not like. Old school sales tactics do not work any longer and when someone is persuaded to sign up for something he or she is rarely ‘sold’ and tend to be the customers from deep in the center of the earth where it is said to be a dry heat. Corey prefers to educate you on his entire process and show you how Home Pro Success earns their reputation by letting customers choose them. 3. Knowing Your Cost Per Lead Is The Secret. Getting more bang for your buck by knowing where and how to advertise is the difference between poor contractors barely getting by and rich, wealthy contractors. You need a good solid Contractor Accounting System to know where your marketing dollars are most effective. Do you think you may be spending too much money on advertising, you’re not alone.  Most contractors and home service business owners waste hundreds or even thousands of dollars on marketing schemes designed by somebody pretending to be skilled. To develop a marketing system of your own that keeps your sales pipeline full, you need to know your cost per lead (per source). If you are spending 15% – 20% of their advertising you are spending too much! 4. Your Website Needs To Breathe. Are you reading about how much business you can get online by hiring ‘website guy’ and six months later the website hasn’t generated any new business? Did you think “this website idea is a joke, it doesn’t work” or “the design must be terrible.” I have a Newsflash it’s neither one. The design doesn’t matter as much as you think. Websites are a vital part of your Contractor home service business, but your website needs to breathe. When you look at some of the websites of home service companies like Handyman, Painters, Electricians, Remodel Contractors, and Landscapers you will see most of them are tombstones marking a place where a vibrant live website once lived and breathed. The sites are not updated. No fresh blog content, no recent pictures, no eye-catching videos, just dead boring copy. With billions of people on the internet, you can understand the importance of the contractor like you to have an effective web presence. CONCLUSION: Contractors and Home Service Business Owners, let’s talk about that elephant in the room. You know how difficult it is to run, and grow a contracting company where you send people to your customer's homes and businesses, in your company trucks, with your company name, to complete services. That's why Corey created this Facebook group.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 02##, And It Will Be About ###   Today's Guest Article Is From Tom Jager, professional blogger  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American science writer Robert Heinlein once said: “Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” Do you agree? That’s okay if you don’t because laziness is a quality that is not commonly associated with success. However, working as little as possible is a strategy that many people embraced and ultimately reached new heights. For example, Dana Brownlee, the president of a corporate training company Professionalism Matters wrote on Entrepreneur that the “Lazy Entrepreneur” philosophy helped her to become incredibly successful and enhance her business in a unique way. So can laziness be good for business? What about contractors - can they be both lazy and successful? Undoubtedly, working as a contractor requires a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed, because the profession requires you to make most of the important decisions. Completing projects within deadlines, finding clients, negotiating prices, sending offers – all of this demands a lot of your time. But does that mean that you can’t enjoy occasional laziness? Of course not. Let’s see how you can be both lazy and successful as a contractor. Be Smart About Meetings For you as a contractor, meetings are important because you use them to get more clients. However, as important as they are, they can take a lot of time, and most of it can be dedicated to something different. On average, 25-50 percent of meeting time is wasted, according to MeetingKing. That’s why 47 percent of employees and managers consider too many meetings the biggest waste of time. To make sure that you’re not wasting time on meetings, use technology. It’ll help you to be more efficient and save a lot of time that you can spend doing what you want. Take Regular Breaks For some people (especially bosses!), taking regular breaks is perceived as destructive to effective and efficient work. That’s why most of employees spend the majority of their day at their desks, staring at computer screens. In addition to preventing some harm being done to your health, you should take regular breaks at your work to actually become more productive. Yes, you read it right: taking breaks and spending less time on working can turn you into a better worker. Think about it: have you ever faced a problem that you couldn’t resolve, decided to take a small break, and then the answer came to you suddenly? If you have, then you know that refreshing your brain helps to see a situation in a new way and come up with the right solution. Here are more benefits of taking regular breaks: They can prevent decision fatigue. Decision fatigue occurs when you have to make a lot of decisions and your willpower and reasoning ability wear down.   Breaks are important for physical and emotional health. It is a known fact that constant sitting, for example, at your office desk, increases your risk for obesity diabetes, heart disease, and depression. You know what they say, “sitting is a new smoking.”   Breaks increase creativity and productivity. Working for hours without taking breaks results in stress and exhaustion. On the other hand, taking some time for rest replenishes mental resources, refreshes the mind, and contributes to being more creative.   By taking breaks from work, you’ll expose yourself to fun side activities that may inspire you to do something and provide you with positive energy. Automate as Much as You Can Technology can be your best helper with tasks that you do every day. For example, if you work in social media promotion, there is a good chance that your clients require you to build their presence by posting information on a daily basis. This task can be easily automated using tools such as Buffer that allow to schedule and manage social media posts across multiple networks. As the result, you’ll maintain the same productivity but have more time for something else. Besides, it’ll allow to be more consistent and give an opportunity to complete projects for clients who live in other countries because time differences don’t matter with automation. Let go of the Urge to Work for Work’s Sake Many people work just because they think they should. They’re not okay with doing nothing because they think that only hard work delivers stellar results. While they’re certainly right that working hard is good, but what about working smart? One should not work because it just seems smart. Why? Because working more doesn’t necessarily means better results. A much better way is to focus on the things that provide the real value for you, your customers, and your career. CONCLUSION: As you can see, being a lazy contractor isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be quite beneficial for your career because it helps to focus on something that really matters.

Many Land Developers and Spec Home Builders set up QuickBooks or hire someone to do it for them, and they do not understand the difference between Construction Accounting and Regular Accounting the results can be disastrous when you need Work-In-Progress, Job Costing, Estimates Vs. Actuals, Profit & Loss, and Balance Sheet Reports that accurately reflect the financial state of your Construction Company. The last thing you want to do in give your banker or investor a Profit & Loss Report showing your company is losing massive amounts of money simply because QuickBooks was set up wrong for your type of business. Knowing how to use Work-In-Progress, Direct and Indirect Construction Costs is key. Understanding Overhead, Other Expenses, and Other Income compounds are also important. Bankers, lenders, investors, construction company owners, and other stakeholders need accurate, timely reports. Proper QuickBooks set up, and Construction Accounting is the foundation to provide them. Here Are Some Things To Consider: You can use QuickBooks Desktop to track all the costs and generate Complex Payment Applications Item Estimates vs. Actuals, Job Profitability Summary, and Job Profitability Detail Reports to monitor progress, so the setup QuickBooks process is critical and needs to be done by a QuickBooks expert in construction accounting. Your QuickBooks needs a process to include the Key Performance Indicators For Contractor Success(KPI) to monitor the financial health of your construction company. Your QuickBooks will need to have between 1,000 to 2,500 accounts in the Chart of Accounts to track WIP costs during the construction process from beginning to end to get the QuickBooks reports you need. Your QuickBooks will need to have between 2,000 to 3,000 Cost Codes (QuickBooks Items) to track the detailed WIP Construction costs and facilitate the movement from WIP to Cost of Goods Sold when the project is complete and moved to company inventory or sold to an outside buyer.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0270, And It Will Be About Construction Contractors Need Help From Knowledgeable Advisors Everywhere there a Buzz Words and lots of people who say they are Experts in their field. Question is What the Expert knows is in a topic that is useful to you? Everyone wants to be paperless. It is not so much about saving a Tree as saving Time. How can I get to My Bookkeeper, My Accountant, My Tax Accountant the information they need to develop the reports? Most contractors tell me "Actually, I don’t want the reports I only want to know "scraps of information" so I can run My Business better. If there is an easy way to get the job done; I want to know it. There must be an App For That." There are several apps and we have one just for Construction Contractors. It does a lot but no app does everything. One of the first questions I am asked is do I have to keep my receipts? After all, I used my debit card, and it is all on the bank statement Bank Statements do not give all of the information needed to run your business. If you write a check, it will say When and How Much but not the “Who” and definitely not on WHY you wrote a check. Debit card transactions have Who, When and How Much; still no WHY. My answer is Yes – Please. Many suppliers will take a product back IF you have a receipt. A few with your credit card will be able to find your transaction and be able to credit the purchase back to the card. For everyone else; your receipt is the fastest way to document you actually made the purchase. Stores return policy is as generous as they can be. But not everyone can offer 100% refund for something that is obviously worn out, purchased from somewhere else or sometime long ago. We have all heard stories where dress clothes (with tags attached and hidden) are worn to a “fancy party” (New Year’s Eve’s) and next day returned to the store for a full refund. I don’t know of anyone personally who has done it but reading on the internet – many stores have changed return policies because of this type of customers (not clients). Kinda like being an “Unwelcome Pest” instead of a “Welcome Guest.” I was in a store who refused to accept a return from the customer in front of me. The clerk told the customer they had made Too Many Returns. We want to be the Welcomed Guest, be a good neighbor, friend, the benefit to our community as we provide “Goods and Services” to our friends and clients. Not everyone is a Good Client or Customer.   Tax Accountants are someone every Contractor should have. Why, when Turbo Tax can do it all? Turbo Tax is in simple terms an “AI” programmed to fill in the blanks based on the information you give it. So as an AI, the software might be smarter than you and I; but remember that “The Computer” does not win whenever playing against “Chess Masters” and a “Real Person” has done the programming. Here are the Should Have, Ought To Have, Maybe, Because [fill in the blank] with as many as you can think of and here are some more. You have already “Over Handled” your documents; especially if you are doing all of your own bookkeeping. I can’t afford to “Hire It Out” Sometimes your budget is “Toast!” Are you spending time doing the right things? The old saying “Sell Your Way Out Of A Problem” is true, but be sure you have done the right job for the right client, and the right price can only be answered when the accounting system has the proper information. The answer is a knowledgeable person between the keyboard and chair touching the keys. Hint - There is a difference between Void and Delete.   Quicken could work as an overgrown checkbook. What would it tell you? Wait, I took the easy step interview, synced to my bank; it has everything it needs!  Does It? or does it have everything YOU think it needs to be based on what you know? If you are the Smarted Person in the room – Fantastic. Excited to meet someone who has read and understood everything on the internet. All information is “Free, Perfect, Now!” Still doesn’t mean it is useful information to anyone and everyone who reads it versus just tons of general data. We each have different opinions on “What Is Important.”   Questions to ask your New or Existing Tax Accountant Explain the differences in Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, S-Corporation. Now, What is the Difference when it comes to Taxes Hint – Self Employment Tax Some Respected Attorneys do not understand the differences between a Tax Point of View.   Should I have my spouse as part of the company? Paid or Unpaid?   Maybe I don’t need to add them if something happens to me [she|he] gets everything.   I want to hire other Family Members to work in my company. Should I have them as an employee, part of management or own a portion of the company?    I want my friends to be part of the company; we have a great time on Friday night. We all agree that they would be an asset. (Does the part “We All Agree” include your spouse? Occasionally Spouses find being supportive becomes a “Full Time” unpaid position.   Is there a tax benefit to hiring my Teenage or College Children Part-time? Your Tax Accountant’s role is to roll up your business life, personal life (including spouse, children, assets, home, retirement account, stock market accounts, odds and ends of side income) and file your business and personal income taxes. Some states do not have an Income Tax (Washington) but have numerous other taxes. Soda Tax, Sales tax, Vehicle tax, Property taxes that continue to increase and more. Have you ever played “Where’s Waldo” or walked through a “Corn Maze” to get in the spirit of Halloween? Being in business is challenging every day. There are no shortage demands on your time. Who is working for Who? What type of contractor do you want to be? General Contractor or Specialty Trade Contractor? Do you provide Design and Install or just Design or just Installation? Are you working directly with the Home Owner? Do you work as a Specialty Trade Contractor for a General Contractor? Are you being paid by the Owner or by the General Contractor”? Having employees can seem like You Are Working For Them Instead of Them Working For You (except you are paying in cash, loss of time, taxes, and other Cash and Non-Cash Benefits (which takes cash). Do you have W-2 employees? Are you paying them to watch you work (under the premise of teaching them)? Do you have Specialty Trade Contractors work for you?    Are they Bonded, Insured, carry their own Worker’s Comp policy?   Are you treating your employees as 1099 contractors so avoid collecting and paying taxes? Hint – Use a Labor Service or Payroll Service. State Labor Laws can be complicated   It's All About Getting Paid You Know How To Do The Work Are You Getting Paid For It?   Do you have a written contract or invoice that the Client signs? Do you set the payment schedule in your contracts? Do you receive Job Deposits on larger projects?   Is the payment schedule set by Others?   Have you given the owner of the property a “Notice To The Owner?” Followed by a “Notice Of Intent To Lien” if they decide you be doing “free work?” With a Specialty Contractor with a “Pay When Paid” clause? Are you working New Construction, Residential Remodels, Small Commercial Projects (TI’s)? They are each different. As a Construction Contractor, you understand the difference between the type of work you do. It is important to verify that your Tax Accountant has a clue about what you do. As a Construction Contractor, you have many expenses that an “Independent Traveling Sales Person” would not have. It is by exception that a Construction Contractor completes a project without having any Leftover Stuff. Outside Sales People tend to lease their vehicle and miles are usually freeway miles so taking a mileage deduction makes sense. The wear and tear on your vehicle are huge. Almost Always taking actual expenses is better. You haul stuff from the supplier to the job site. You create a mess in the process of remodeling a house. That mess needs to be recycled, reused or taken to the dump. Scraps of lumber, cardboard, packing are just more stuff that makes a tour of your truck, van or trailer. Even if you have an On-Site Dumpster – There is still “Stuff” to be dealt with. Hint - Hopefully you can return the “Extras” to the supplier. Many marketing firms will also offer to be your Business Coach. Again, this person needs to understand about your business. Numbers are great! Your Banker is your numbers best friend and understands the numbers on the Tax Return you receive from your Tax Accountant. Tax Accountant adds credibility that you did not do the job yourself. In other words, you are not making them up (or reducing them down). The same thing applies when Bank requests Homeowner to HIRE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR to do the project, and the Bank pay the Contractor direct. Why, because with a set of prints the Licensed Construction Contractor knows What To Do and How To Do It! Construction Contractors cringe when they see on the news any buildings that collapse when Building Codes with good workmanship it could be prevented. The first Question is: Has your Business Coach, Tax Accountant, or Banker ever worked with a Construction Contractor? If you are their First Construction Contractor Client; great as long as you know it! As a New, Seasoned, or Returning Contractor if you are being compared to that Espresso Stand down the street that is a big deal. Hint – You have Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and by exception Inventory.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0269, And It Will Be About Facebook & Twitter Marketing - Sword for Small Contractors in Ranking Battle!   Today's Guest Article Is From Carol Writer Carol Is A Writer & Editor at Primetimeessay.com  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is incredible to see how the Social Media is affecting the organic rankings generated by search Engines. Social Media is accepted as one of the factors/parameters when considering ranking of the page. It allows small size companies to reach large target audience using Facebook Marketing and Twitter Marketing. Combine these giants with your excellent quality content, and you are ready to make a mark on your competitors. The reason I say Social Media can prove to a sword Companies is you can directly meet and interact with your target audience. It is always great if you have direct interaction with your audience as it would help you to convince them as they are your potential customers. Facebook Marketing is helpful, and it can prove the best option for a start-up to create a brand for itself. Everyone is aware how important it is that your brand gets recognized by your audience. Many companies tend to hire a Social Media Manager for creating an impression on the audience. As in the case of small companies they actually can start on their own as they have a little market presence. So the Risk factors involved in creating a Brand Name is very less as very few people know about them. Landing Page of Facebook can be a great way for introducing to the Online Marketing stage. Twitter has almost taken the online reach by storm from its introduction. Using Twitter Marketing efficient can help you to get the direct conversion from the audience to Customers. Twitter has a very active search, so you search for people with common interests. Facebook Page for a brand or Twitter account will fail to make an impact if it is not backed with killer content. Content plays a significant role in speaking about your brand and at the same time not sounding too promotional. The material on Social Media Junctions ideally should be to the point and should discuss topics more genuinely. For taking full advantage of social media scene, it is preferable that you hire a person or team which provide good Content Writing Services. These services are always valuable regarding money and time. Content is the heart of a venture regarding webpage, Facebook page or Twitter account. Another efficient way to get better reach and more traffic to your website are Article Submissions. These articles writing Services are typically provided by an agency that provides web Content writing services. Original Article always stands out and holds the key to giving an edge over other. Now as you to make an impact on Online Marketing area and achieve better Rankings. About The Author: Carol James is a writer & editor at Primetimeessay.com.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0268, And It Will Be About Insight Into The World Of Practicing Project Management (PMP)   Today's Podcast Is Based Upon A Guest Article Is From Anna Marsh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The history of mankind has accumulated an impressive list of successfully implemented complex projects. From the construction of the Pyramids in Giza to the dispatch of man to the moon, the most courageous human undertakings required the coordinated work of thousands of people. And this implies a complex project management system. And although only a few of us will face the challenges of this scale, most readers of this blog somehow encountered project management. According to PMI estimates, by 2020, 15 million new positions of project specialists will appear - and many other professionals often have to manage mini-projects, at least on a personal level. In simple words, Project Management is the management and organization of everything that is needed to achieve the goal - on time and within the budget, of course. Whether before the development of new software, the marketing company or the landing of a person on Mars - project management makes it possible to succeed. Why "project management"? The names of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin forever go down in history as symbols of one of the greatest achievements of mankind - the landing of man on the moon. However, the main contribution to this event was made by 400,000 NASA employees and 20,000 companies and universities working together on the Apollo mission. In 1961, John F. Kennedy set the task of landing a man on a satellite of the Earth and returning it back - despite the fact that at that time, NASA sent a man into space for only 15 minutes. Such an ambitious goal required an incredible amount of resources, cooperation, innovation and planning. Then it was important to speed up the implementation of each individual phase and make sure that the teams and companies working on each phase effectively interact with each other and deliver the results on time. This task was entrusted to Dr. George E. Muller, who ran every part of the Apollo project, from the White House to the supplier of the smallest detail. To control the project it was easier, he decided to break the project into 5 areas: Program Control System Engineering Testing Reliability and Quality Flight Operation Brief History of Project Management Project management was not invented by NASA and Dr. Müller. The Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall of China are products of project management from prehistoric eras. Unfortunately, there is no documentary evidence of how the implementation and management of these projects took place, and the current project management is divorced from the knowledge of past centuries. The most obvious way to implement the project is to break it down into phases or individual tasks. As a culinary recipe - buy ingredients, mix them correctly, cook and serve. The simplest project management tool is a checklist of actions that must be taken to achieve the goal. Simple and effective. However, if you are a chef and prepare more than one dish, but several, for example a salad (which consists of 3 stages) and dessert (which you just need to serve), you will need a tool that allows you to track the time costs for each elements and the time when they should be ready. Basic terms of project management Agile: Flexible iterative-incremental approach to project and product management, focused on the dynamic formation of requirements and ensuring their implementation as a result of constant interaction within self-organizing working groups, consisting of specialists of various profiles. There are many methods based on the ideas of Agile, the most popular of which are Scrum and Kanban. Critical path: A continuous sequence of works and events from the initial to the final event, which requires the most time for its execution. Event chain of processes (EPC-diagram): a diagram showing the sequence of project activities based on the availability and utilization of resources. Time reserve: The time at which the start of work can be deferred without affecting the overall duration of the project. Thus, the reserves on the critical path will be zero. Milestone (milestone): A key event, indicating, for example, the end of a stage. In the Gantt diagram, the problem is denoted with zero duration. Project manager (project manager, project manager, PM): Project team leader, responsible for project management (planning, implementation and closure of the project). Resources: Elements required for the implementation of the project. Resources are time, equipment, materials, employees, and so on. Scope of the project: A description of the work that needs to be done to obtain the product. Sprint: Iteration (work cycle) in Scrum, lasting from a week to a month, during which a working version of the product or its element representing the value for the customer is created. "Classic" or "traditional" project management: The most common method of project management, based on the so-called "waterfall" (Waterfall) or cascade cycle, in which the task is transmitted sequentially through stages resembling a flow. Which is the best project management system Project management is a science, but science is not the most accurate. In this area there are no firm foundations and universal solutions. If you can find a method that is ideally suited to your project - consider that you are very fortunate, because less fortunate managers have to make efforts to create and customize their own project management systems. These systems can be composed of elements of existing systems or even created completely from scratch, as in the case of the Apollo mission. The main thing is to use something that will give you at least some structure and will not forget what is important for your project. About The Author: Anna Marsh is a philanthropist.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0267, And It Will Be About Top 10 News 2018 Related To Construction Today's Guest Article Is From Carol James-Petrol, Manager Of Stancespice.com  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, in the United States is a large number of construction projects that strike not only their idea but also the estimated value. With the various megaprojects that are built or destroyed, it's difficult to track their development. Although all the construction projects are expected to fully open or reach significant milestones this year. Why is it important to consider the largest construction work? There are two main reasons. The initial one is in the fact that such projects https://stancespice.com/  can affect the total volume of the dollar. That is, the time and size of these projects have an exaggerated effect on market forecasts and this is a huge number of new jobs. It's clear that 2018 is a great year for large construction projects. Here are a few highlights of the major construction projects USA that occur in 2018. 1. San Francisco: Salesforce Tower One of the tallest buildings in the United States is to be opened.

These funds are planned to be returned, charging a fare through the bridge. Preparations for a total cost of $ 350 million have already been carried out in the United States and Canada. All permits and licenses have been received, the demolition of almost 200 buildings in the US has been completed. 8.Seattle: Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement In 2017, the tunnel was completed under the center of Seattle for a length of 1.7 miles.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0266, And It Will Be About Seven Deadly Construction Accounting Mistakes "Early To Bed, Early To Rise, Know Your Numbers And Advertise" Unfortunately, with everything contractors like you need to do every day including weekend and holidays it’s too easy to let crisp, timely Financial Reports go unread and in some cases, you may not fully understand what they are telling you when you do read them. #1 Not Tracking Direct Construction Costs For Each Job Or Project If you want to know where you are making and losing money you need to implement a system of Job Costing. These Reports Can only be found in the Premier Contractors and Accountants editions of QuickBooks. Some of them are also available in the Professional Services edition.   We offer Job Costing Report Service click here to learn more  #2 Not Allocating Overhead To Jobs In order for your Job Costing and Job Profitability Reports to be useful you need a way to allocate overhead among jobs. Overhead generally refers to costs that benefit all jobs. For Example: Office And Shop Rent Office Supplies Admin Staff Salary Officer Owner Salary Marketing And Advertising Consulting, Legal, And Accounting Other Overhead Costs Successful Construction Companies have a system to allocate a percentage of overhead among jobs based on field labor or field labor hours. The problem here is overhead costs may be over or under allocated which creates a distorted picture of job profitability. For example, if your projects are material and other costs intensive, rather than labor intensive, you may consider allocating overhead based on one of those costs or perhaps some blend of direct job costs. The key is to develop a method for allocating overhead costs to the jobs that drive them. #3 Change Orders Change orders can be a great source of additional cash flow and profits as well as pitfalls and money drain and lost profit opportunities for contractors. Let me share a true story. Home Improvement Contractor, Virginia USA He called Sharie, our Client Care Coordinator and his first words after hello were: "I found your how-to video about change orders and really like how you have it set up and appreciate the pointers you had to offer." He was sick and tired of customers constantly changing stuff on him and creating delays or extra work. He needed to be compensated for his time and his crew time but wanted to make sure he was doing it the right way. Click Here For Construction Change Order Video This video shows you step by step the Fast Easy Accounting way to work with your Free Construction Change Order Form. We certainly hope this will help you increase construction sales and bottom line profit by getting paid for all the extra work you are doing. Contractors Are Our Heros so we want to help you achieve your definition of success! During a short phone interview with me, he shared his story of how this change order template helped him sell new work and get a check today! He must have read our article on Contractors Are Not Bankers! Recap: He found the same thing most contractors have learned about how “Change Orders” become favors! Why, because by the end of the job he had forgotten all of the things he did that were not part of the original Scope of Work. Since he wasn’t clear with the customer about paying for those "Minor Changes" they ended up costing him time, money and profit. He said after watching the video he downloaded the FREE Change Order Template Click Here for a Free copy of it. Since it is built on Excel he said it was easy to insert his company letterhead, customize it with a few additional lines for description and save it to his desktop. He Printed Some Copies And Put Then In The Job Folder Today his customer asked about some changes that she was thinking about doing in the future. They discussed it and between them, and they decided that it the most economical to do the additional changes. Remembering the “Brand New Change Order Form” in his Job Folder he filled one out, explained the additional time and material involved to make the change…the customer agreed it was quite a lot to make the changes she wanted; however, she wanted it done so she happily went and got her checkbook and wrote a check for the change order. This customer is truly one of his Top 20% that he needs to stay in contact with and become her only contractor. Hopefully, she will refer him to service for everything she needs to maintain her home. Have Your Customers Started A Conversation With: While you are here anyway... That Should Be Included... Since It's Open Anyway... You Get It Wholesale... It's A Small Change... While We're At It... It's Easy For You... I Have An Idea... I Need A Favor... If you answered yes here is the good news. People love to buy things and all you have to do is be easy to do business with. One of the best ways to keep your attitude positive is knowing and applying the 80-20 Rule For Contractors. This one tip alone can help keep more cash flowing into your company. The 80 20 Rule For Contractor Success At The Money Game #4 Job Costs Not Included In Financial Statement Most Construction Companies track costs using Accrual Basis of accounting and pay tax on Cash Basis. This means recording revenues when earned and expenses when incurred. Some Job Costing errors occur when Direct or Indirect Job Costs are not included in the financial statements. The reason is simple, bills from suppliers and vendors aren’t received until after the period is closed and financials have been issued. One way around this is implementing a voucher system or some other mechanism to ensure costs are recorded as liabilities or accrued costs in the period in which they’re incurred. This makes sense if your construction company annual sales are over $5,000,000. #5 Job Estimates Are Not Accurate Contractors with annual sales under $10,000,000 typically use "Completed Contract" method for financial reports. Contractors with annual sales over $10,000,000 may have to use "Percentage of Completion" method for financial reports.  Errors can be traced back to: Poor estimating or forecasting Inaccurate recording of actual costs Mishandling of change order accounting Editor Note: After many decades of working with contractors and Construction Accounting I can say with 100% conviction contractors with annual sales under $1,000,000 are in a sweet spot and can easily generate an annual take-home income of 10% to 20% of annual sales without all of the massive headaches of running a big contracting firm. #6 Recognizing Loss In The Wrong Period Construction companies that use the Percentage Of Completion method sometimes misjudge whether or not a job is likely to be completed at a loss. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require them to fully recognize the loss at the time it’s determined. Regular review of each project’s job cost schedule. In the event, estimated costs exceed the contract amount, be prepared to accrue a loss. #7 Joint Ventures A Partnership Is The Only Ship Designed To Sink"-Randalism Joint ventures are a bit like change orders. They can be an incredible opportunity to make or lose a lot of money very quickly. Almost as quick as betting money on a roulette wheel in a casino. Joint Ventures have their own accounting rules. The devil is in the details because how costs and profits are shared among the participants depends on how the joint venture is structured and the terms of the agreement. Avoid errors, leave nothing to chance. Be sure you and the other party agree on how the income and expenses will be dealt with in your accounting systems before you start work. Implement processes and procedures to ensure the venture’s activities are properly documented. Editor Note: Contractors with annual sales less than $10,000,000 often get together to work on a specific project. For example, a concrete contractor may have a large project that requires more finishers than they have on staff. They find a friendly competitor to supply labor and equipment for a percentage of the job, hourly fee or a flat number.  This could technically be a "Joint Venture"; however, the time and scope are normally short and sweet.  "Early To Bed, Early To Rise, Know Your Numbers And Advertise" - Randalism Construction is notoriously known as a thin profit margin high-risk business. Proper planning and Strategic Bookkeeping can reduce your risk and substantially increase your chances of success. Accurate financial reporting is important the profit and growth of your Contracting Company and enjoying favorable relationships with sureties, lenders and other stakeholders.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0265, And It Will Be About Generating High Quality Lead Generation For Your Contracting Company ----------------------------------------------------------- Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article Is From John Leutermann Founder Big Rock Online Marketing Are you a contractor looking to generate new business leads? You may have already invested in a quality website, but are still failing to see it generate the results you expected. Or maybe you have yet to delve into any marketing at all. In this Podcast Randal interviews John Leutermann, a digital marketing expert who specializes in growing contracting businesses online. Randal and John discuss the important questions you may have when considering investing in internet marketing services.  John has been doing digital marketing for over 10 years. He previously worked for an advertising agency for over five years. At the agency, he managed the websites, SEO, and digital marketing for over 60 local contractors. John currently works at Weather Tight Corporation in Milwaukee, WI as the Web Marketing Manager, a position he has held for over eight years. Weather Tight is Wisconsin’s largest privately owned remodeler specializing in Windows, doors, roofing, siding & gutter protection. John manages all aspects of digital marketing and advertising for Weather Tight. John is also the owner of Big Rock Marketing, a digital agency specializing in helping small and medium businesses grow their businesses online. His agency handles web design, SEO, email marketing, digital advertising, and review management for their clients. What is the main problem internet marketing can solve for your contracting business? As mentioned earlier, creating a visually appealing website is important. However, this simply isn’t enough to consistently bring in new business leads. This is where SEO and internet marketing come into play. These strategies are effective in increasing your digital footprint online, slowly building your online presence, and driving business to your website. How does John differentiate from other digital marketing experts? The most important thing John takes pride in is the level of personal service he provides to clients. Because his agency is smaller in size, he is the main point of contact for his clients. This means he is able to explain the details of the work being done on your account. Larger agencies typically aren’t able to do this, as they usually have an employee whose role is solely communicating with clients about their account. John uses your budget to market your business. How can a contractor determine whether they will be a good fit for pursuing internet marketing? John has 3 questions a contractor should ask themselves to gauge whether they will be a good fit for internet marketing services: 1. Is the client committed to providing resources and budget to online marketing? It is important for a contractor to be committed to internet marketing. If the client is perceiving internet marketing as an expense, it likely is not a good fit for moving forward. Internet marketing, especially SEO services, take about 6 months to start seeing results. After about 12-18 months, the brunt of the leads will start to come through. 2. Is the client prepared to handle more leads while still providing the same level of customer service? The main goal of internet marketing is to help you generate more leads for your business. It’s important for contractors to know they can keep up with more customers seeking their services. The last thing you want is to increase your leads, but then lose business due to poor customer service. 3. What budget is the client able to commit towards internet marketing? This number will depend on the location of your business, as well as the level of competitiveness of your industry. John can help you determine the best option. However, you should have an idea of what you are able to afford to invest toward internet marketing. CONCLUSION: If you are ready to invest in internet marketing or would like a free website audit, visit https://www.bigrockonline.com. You can also call John 414-305-4801.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0264, And It Will Be About How To Manage Your Money Effectively As A Construction Contractor Today's Guest Article Is From Damien Troy  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you’re unsure how to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor, then look no further than this article. There are a number of easy ways you can manage your money effectively, including working alongside an architect who produces cost-effective designs, to investing in high-quality tools from day one. Whilst short term loans such as those available at Wizzcash.com are available if you find yourself in a personal financial emergency, managing your money effectively as a construction contractor is paramount to make a decent profit. You can find out exactly how below! Design Effectively Even though managing your money effectively as a construction contractor can be difficult, it’s not entirely impossible. The first step to managing your money effectively is to source an architect who designs cost-effectively. This is because changes made during the design process often cost less to implement than those made mid-construction. Regardless, doing this ahead of time will help cut costs. It’s no hidden secret that saving on small costs from time to time will make a difference in the long run, so why pay more than you should? Instead of opting for the first solution you come across, take the time to shop around for the best places to purchase your materials and equipment. Even though you may have solid relationships with various contractors and suppliers alike, it’s far smarter to compare prices and start new relationships that simply sticking with what you have. Invest In Quality Tools Upfront The next step to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor is to invest in quality tool upfront instead of opting for those with a cheaper price tag in order to save money. Not only can cheaply-made tools waste money, but they can waste invaluable time too, which can put your business at risk. However, by putting your money towards something that will last longer than purchasing the same poor-quality tools repeatedly you can rest assured that your tools will not let you down. Invest In Technology Investing in technology is just as important as investing in quality tools upfront. From the small technology investments such as implementing an electronic payment system to the large like Viewpoint Enterprise Cloud software, advanced technology investments can help you save in the long run, and ensure accuracy. Reduced Wasted Materials Whilst all these points are important to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor, ordering the right amount of materials at the right time is key to saving money. By reducing wasted materials, you will not only eliminate material loss, but you will also reduce labour waste by ensuring subcontractors are scheduled at the relevant time. At the same time this will help avoid paying employees standing around for no real reason. By staying on top of your expenses, you can rest assured that you won’t be faced with any surprises, and knowing where your expenses stand from day one will significantly help you keep track of your funds. From investing in technology and quality tools upfront to taking the time to shop around and not pick the first offer you come across, you will not only be able to save money, but you will be able to plan ahead for the future too.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0262, And It Will Be About Wealthy Contractor's Selling Secrets I was raised in a great environment. My parents were wonderful people who always did their best and could always be counted on to provide food, clothing, shelter, and opportunity to attend school where I earned my High School Diploma. After that, I attended several Colleges and Universities to further my education.  The point of this article is for contractors who are having any financial struggles is to provide you with the time-tested and proven answer to more cash flow and profits as soon as possible! I was raised in a great environment. My parents were wonderful people who always did their best and could always be counted on to provide food, clothing, shelter, and opportunity to attend school where I earned my High School Diploma. After that, I attended several Colleges and Universities to further my education.  The Simple Answer Is Sell Your way Out! When I was growing up there wasn't money for allowance so I developed my own. I tried many things and discovered nobody would hire an eight-year-old kid part-time after school. So I started acquiring things I could sell door-to-door in our neighborhood. Retailing Pecans $0.35 A Pound Door-To-Door - I purchased brown paper lunch bags from the supermarket. Then I Gathered up pecans that fell on the ground under the tree in our yard, put them in a brown paper bag on the bathroom scale and increased pecans until it equaled one pound, rolled up the top of the bag and repeated the process until I had ten pounds. Then I walked door-to-door in our neighborhood selling them, and I did not stop until I had sold them all. Selling Puzzles Door-To-Door - Our next door neighbor, an industrial parts salesman, had access to small puzzles. I purchased them for $0.05 each and sold them door-to-door for $0.10 each. Every weekday after school I would sell all ten before arriving back home. Selling Pencils Door-To-Door - I purchased 20 pencils from the local office supply store $.0025, two for a nickel. I sold them door-to-door in our neighborhood for $.05 each and I did not stop until I had sold them all. I always had money for comic books, toys, milkshakes, birthday presents, Christmas presents and even opened a savings account. Those life lessons served me well into adult life as a contractor, business owner, entrepreneur and real estate investor. How Does This Help You? It All Comes Down To Cause And Effect – You will accomplish what you anticipate. For many years people believed the world is flat and some people still believe it. For many years people believed it was unimaginable for a human to run a mile under four minutes. That is until May 06, 1954 when Roger Banister did it. Condition Yourself For Success! Be-Do-Have - Be The Person, Do The Work, Have The Results. In life contractors generate reasons or results and, reasons don’t count. The Secret Is In Thinking Patterns And Habits Success is a few simple disciplines practiced everyday Failure is a few errors in judgment repeated everyday Over the years I have accomplished great things and generated some spectacular malfunctions in construction. Success lands whenever I have procured mentors that are already at where I am headed. Failure always comes from engaging people who cannot produce results but think they can. Though the dogs (negative people) may bark, the caravan (long line of successful contractors) moves on. - Randalism Choose wisely the six people you invest the most of your time with as The Leveling Process Operates 24/7/365 Leveling Is Key To Your Success As A Contractor Birds And People - Flock together with others like themselves because it is comfortable. It only makes sense to soar with eagles rather than keeping your head down pecking at the ground with the chickens. Your Income - Is typically within 20% of the average of the six people you spend the most time with.  Leveling Down - If you spend most of your time at the “Contractors Business Round Table”, this is a little round table in a tavern with a pitcher of beer and several contractors all earning $40,000 a year or less telling each other how to run their businesses then your income will hover between $32,000 and $48,000 (20% plus or minus $40,000). Leveling Up - As you develop your Business Strategy for your construction company your income is likely to increase. The impact on your friends will not be pleasant as you will be proving that good people can win in the construction game by playing it with high moral and ethical standards and the willingness to try something different. The Simplest Way To Level Up - is read about successful people. Watch movies about successful people. Surround yourself with successful people and understand "You Alone Stand Guard At The Portals Of Your Mind" - Randalism The Salesman's Prayer By Og Mandino This bit of text one of my mantras. It's extremely powerful and if you interpret it carefully you will discover the hidden meaning. "Oh creator of all things, help me. For this day I go out into the world naked and alone, and without your hand to guide me I will wander far from the path which leads me to success and happiness. I ask not for gold or garments or even opportunities equal to my ability; instead, guide me so that I may acquire ability equal to my opportunities. You have taught the lion and the eagle how to hunt and prosper with teeth and claw. Teach me how to hunt with words and prosper with love so that I may be a lion among men and an eagle in the market place. Help me to remain humble through obstacles and failures; yet hide not from mine eyes the prize that will come with victory. Assign me task to which others have failed; yet guide me to pluck the seeds of success from their failures. Confront me with fears that will temper my spirit; yet endow me with courage to laugh at my misgivings. Spare me sufficient days to reach my goals; yet help me live this day as if it were my last. Bathe me in good habits that the bad ones may drown; yet grant me compassion for the weaknesses in others. Suffer me to know that all things shall pass; yet help me to count my blessings of today. Expose me to hate so it be not a stranger; yet fill my cup with love to turn strangers into friends. But all these things be only if thy will. I am a small and lonely grape clutching the vine yet thou hast made me different from all others. Verily, there must be a special place for me. Guide me. Help me. Show me the way Lord. Let me become all you planned for me when my seed was planted and selected by you to sprout in the vineyard of the world. Help this humble salesman…..Guide me, God."

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0261, And It Will Be About Top 7 Reasons To Accept Credit Cards In Your Construction Company Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article Is From Paige Martin Payment difficulties in the construction industry are not a new occurrence. With the financial issues that have arisen in the construction industry, there is definitely the potential for all construction companies to move forward with efficiency and productivity in planning business needs like invoicing, payment receipt and more. While the old school paper systems that are withheld in the office can get the basic information to and from the customers, there comes the question of payment due dates and ensuring that customers pay bills on time. Especially for small projects that are most likely due on completion, there is the current availability of digital credit card payment processing, in order to progress further into the go-green movement. Considering the increased technical support and assistance that is now often needed with the accounting department of most any company, there is much to be seen for the credit card payment to be added to the construction industry. Here are some of the reasons to offer credit card payment processing in your construction business: 1. Fast and efficient payments Payment delays and losses persist in the construction industry and continue to be a key concern to industry practitioners. Overall there is the speedy and efficient process of credit card payment receipt. Considering the fact that credit card payments can be called in, made online to your company website, through a mobile app, on-site card reader or more, there is much to be said for the efficiency of these payments. 2. More immediate completion of digital bill payment, payments made and deposited by due dates. Big project construction customers have the attitude of “Cannot” and “wouldn’t “ when it comes to paying their occurring construction bills. Since they are busy on-site, they usually reason out that if the construction business “cannot” provide a more conducive means of paying the occurring bills, with no penalties considering the due dates, they “wouldn’t” proceed with the deal. Now, that’s the point why construction businesses should start considering the digital credit card payments usually offered by some credit card processing platform Once payments are received from customers, there is much more immediate processing and lack of wait times on the deposit of large checks will not be an issue anymore. There is much to be said for the ability to receive a large payment in full by credit card, rather than having to place a long deposit hold on a check payment from a customer. With these digital payments processed immediately and efficiently, there is less stress or return of attention to past payments on members of the construction company accounting team. 3. Avoidance of fraudulent payments, bad checks. The construction industry has no obstacles to entry of various customers and is well-known for low capital backing, but relies heavily on cash flows to withstand its operations.  Considering this factor, construction businesses under big deals need to wait for checks to complete payments from the client and there was always the potential for a bad check to come in, causing a return fee on both you and the customer and adding more work in attempts to receive a good payment. With the immediate collection of a credit card payment, there is a one-step process, a sort of one-and-done closure of the final financial need of a project. 4. Efficient work procedures for the construction’s accounting department. With all of the reduction of time needed for payment processing directly by the client or between the client and project manager, there is much to be said for the improved work processes for the accounting department. Relieving the manual account management of some of those individual payments helps to improve their focus on the company’s financial needs and improvement. 5. Lack of late payments means no collections. Have you ever tried hiring a collection agent to call your clients regarding their delayed payments? With the ability to reduce the amount of late payments coming in from customers, or the lack of need to chase down late payments, there are minimal collections work from within the office and lack of need to outsource collections work. That is a financial savings for the construction company, as well as a great time savings and organizational improvement. Since as mentioned above that cash flow is critical for construction businesses, every financial in-flow is important. 6. Online, mobile and other payment options added. With the improved business efficiency that can be gained with the creation of your construction website, and connection to a mobile payment app, there is the added connection to the customer ability to pay invoices as soon as they are received. That is what the app modernization in the 20th century brings. Customers would have the ability to log into their accounts on your site and access their billing and payment history and help make sure everything is up-to-date. You just need to make sure that you have the essentials on your website to avoid financial transaction issues in the future. 7. On-site payments with card readers With the connection of your own company card, especially for the improvement of your own bill payment and financial needs, there is often access to a remote card reader that can be taken on-site with project managers. Therefore, all projects are available to receive credit card payments, making the communication between the project and accounting departments much more automated and efficient that traditional invoicing and payment receipt. Construction businesses should always offer traditional on-site payments assuming that not all clients are able to do online transactions Considering the addition of digital credit card payments to the construction industry there is a great deal of accounting improvement that can be had in the long run. With the reduced pressure and stress that could be placed on the accounts receivable department, there is much more emphasis that can be placed on the improvement of the company’s finances as a whole. So for all aspiring construction business owners, take note that there will be much more to be gained in developing business investors, stocks and more, with the long-term gain of business growth and larger customers and projects. So, with those payments coming in more easily there is a redirected focus on your construction business development.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0260, And It Will Be About Dave Nergi From Contractors Secret Weapon Interview   Recently I interviewed one of the legends in helping contractors turn bad advertising into good marketing, Dave Nergi. Dave shared some of his most precious gems about how to generate a lot of new leads. The best nugget of all is his three-step proven sales strategy: Before The Sale During The Sale After The Sale First a little background on Dave Nergi Dave Negri is the founder of Contractors Secret Weapon His marketing podcast is unlike anything available elsewhere to contractors. He talks with marketing specialists across the board who give us concrete tips directed entirely towards the trades. Some of the topics they cover include Marketing, Sales Cycles, Pricing, Positioning, Branding and more. Just about everything he talked about when I interviewed him included the good the bad and the boring. We discussed what has worked for Dave in his Painting and Real Estate Investment business and why it worked and why it might not have worked. Dave went into extensive detail about why good marketing is the key to having a very profitable business. One of his quotes I really enjoyed is "Throwing good money into the black hole of advertising is not good marketing it is BAD advertising." During this Podcast, he revealed the key differences and teaches the right questions to ask advertisers. Dave considers it a win if you cease thinking of your contracting company as commodity-based and switch to value-based. The only way to do that is to cherry-pick only the best "clients" and leave low value "customers" to your competition. Customers Vs. Clients Customers - Are disloyal price buyers who buy products and services with cost as their primary consideration. Clients - Are loyal value buyers who purchase goods and services with suitability as their primary consideration. Your Business Strategy - Will determine which group you want to serve and there is no right or wrong answer, just different approaches. High Volume And Low Margin - Construction projects can generate the same net profit and cash flow as low volume and high margin projects. Think - Long and hard about what you want your construction company reputation for serving the best clients and delivering high value. The Contractors 80/20 Rule And QuickBooks Job Profitability Reports are the keys to sorting Customers From Clients. The 80-20 Rule Combined With Business Process Management Can Improve Your Life In Ways You Never Dreamed Possible! 20% Of The Construction Companies - Share the Top 80% of the profits which the owners and shareholders use to support lavish lifestyles because they know what to do when to do it and how to do it! 80% Of The Construction Companies - Share the Bottom 20% of the profits which the owners and shareholders use to support just above or just below average lifestyles because they don't know what to do, when to do it or how to do it! Dave Nergi's Contracting Experiences And Life Lessons He Shared Dave has been a painting contractor and entrepreneur for the last 28 years. He has successfully started and grown service-based businesses like his Elite Home and Property Services company in Clearwater, FL. Through hard work and marketing knowledge, Dave has left the day-to-day operations so he can help other contractors grow and succeed. In 2001 Dave put his painting business aside due to the boom of the real estate market. He focused on buying and selling houses for the next 5 years, successfully “flipping” over 55 homes. He attributes his success at this endeavor entirely to his knowledge and background in marketing. While other contractors scrambled to pick up crumbs then and in the following crash, Dave has been chugging away, providing a very nice life for his family and taking his wife (Valerie) on trips and generally enjoying his success.
