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

A Sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Trinity St. Matthew 5:20-26 by William Klock In last Sunday's Gospel we were with Jesus and Peter in that fishing boat as Jesus preached to the crowd on the shore. I said that I had a pretty good ides the sorts of things Jesus was preaching, because both Matthew and Luke preserve versions of his favourite sermon about the kingdom. Today's Gospel gives us a snippet of Matthew's version of that sermon. In Matthew 5:20 Jesus says to the gathered crowd, “I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” In the words leading up to this, Jesus was preparing the people to hear this. He talks about being the salt of the earth and the light of the world and a city set on hill and a light held high on a lampstand for everyone to see. “That's how you must shine your light in front of people!” he says, “Then they'll see what wonderful things you do, and they'll give glory to your father in heaven.” Do your works, does you the way you live make people take notice and give glory to God? That's a tough one, isn't it? And then, just in case people might be thinking that Jesus came to do away with the law and the prophets: “Don't suppose that I came to destroy the law or the prophets,” Jesus said, “I didn't come to destroy them. I came to fulfil them! I'm telling you the truth: until heaven and earth disappear—and since that won't happen this just means never—not one stroke, not one dot, is going to disappear from the law until it's all come true. So anyone who relaxes a single one of these commandments, even the little ones, and teaches that to people, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. And anyone who does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” And this is where Jesus says those words, “Yes, let me tell you: unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.” Because Jesus was doing and saying so many things that a lot of people thought weren't right, I suspect some people thought that Jesus was teaching an easier way to the kingdom. The Pharisees were mad because he didn't seem to keep the law with the same zeal that they thought everyone should, but I suspect there were others who thought Jesus was offering them a way to God without all the spiritual rigor and rules. Just this week I found myself talking to someone who had left an orthodox, biblical church a few years ago and is now worshipping at a United Church. The reason: “They aren't so strict. They let people be themselves. They aren't so bound to the Bible.” In other words: The United Church offers a way to God that you can follow on your own terms. I suspect some people thought Jesus was doing a sort of First Century Jewish version of that. And so Jesus makes it clear that this is not the case. No, just the opposite in fact. Not even the Pharisees with all their zeal for torah, not even they meet the standard. Later in the sermon he'll go on to talk about the wide and narrow way that will lead Israel to destruction and the narrow gate that few can find and the narrow and difficult way beyond that leads to the kingdom. No, Jesus hasn't come to relax the standard. Not at all. But before we can go on we need to ask a couple of questions. When Jesus talks about “righteousness”, what does he mean? Well, for the Jews “righteousness” was bound up with torah, with the law and with God's covenant. A righteous person was someone who was faithful to God and to the covenant and that meant, fundamentally, that he was faithful in living the law that God had given his people. The name “Pharisee” means “separated one”. That's what Israel was supposed to be. The Lord had delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt to be his people and he gave them a law, he gave them torah, as a way of life that would separate them and that would make them distinct from every other people on earth. When the nations looked at Israel they were supposed to be moved to give glory to God. But for most of their history, the Israelites didn't do a very good job of being that separate and distinct people. They were selective in their obedience. They worshipped idols. And so just as he cast Adam and Eve out of the garden and out of his holy presence, the Lord cast out Israel and sent her in exile to Babylon. Righteousness means “covenant faithfulness” and if Israel wasn't going to be faithful to the covenant, then in order to be faithful himself to the covenant, the Lord would have enact the covenant curses that he promised would befall his people if they didn't keep their end of the covenant—if they were unrighteous. As I've said before fairly recently, the Pharisees knew all of this. More than that, they believed that the exile was, after a fashion, still ongoing. Because Israel was still ruled by pagans and because the Lord's presence had never returned to the temple. They desperately wanted an end to Roman rule and even more than that, they prayed for the Lord's return. But that wasn't going to happen as long as Israel was still unfaithful—still lacking in righteousness. So the Pharisees decided to set an example. They weren't just going to obey the law as best they could; they were going to live their whole lives as if they were priests in the temple. They wouldn't just keep themselves from sin. They'd keep themselves ritually pure at all times. They were ready for the Lord to return. If only they could get everyone in Israel just as ready! But not everyone in Israel was as interested in righteousness as they were. There were a lot of people who just weren't as serious about God's law as they were. But worse were the compromisers—the Jews who gradually assimilated to the pagan ways of the Greeks and Romans and the people who willingly and knowingly became traitors to the covenant: tax collectors and sinners. Think of it this way: The Pharisees saw themselves in the midst of a culture war. And they knew it wasn't the first time Israel had faced a culture war. And so their heroes were the righteous men of Israel's past culture wars. One of those heroes was Phinehas, one of Aaron's grandsons. In the book of Numbers we read how Balak, the King of Moab, had hired a prophet to curse the Israelites. But the prophet, Balaam couldn't do it. Every time he opened his mouth to curse the Israelites, the Lord caused blessings to spill out. So Balak, instead, sent a bunch of beautiful Moabite women to infiltrate the Israelite camp and to entice the men of Israel to worship the Canaanite god Baal with them. Isreal's first culture war. The men were enticed into sexual immorality and then into idolatry—those two always go hand-in-hand. But Phinehas, came upon one of the Israelite men in flagrante delicto with one of these women. Filled with holy zeal, Phinehas grabbed a spear and ran them both through together. That was the end of Israel's first culture war and Phinehas became a hero for his righteous zeal. But much more recently, the Pharisees looked back on the heroes of the Maccabean Revolt—about 160 years before. In those days Judah was ruled by Greeks. And the Greeks just sort of thought that because their culture was so superior to everyone else's, everyone would just assimilate given the chance. Think of Gus in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. “There are two kinds of people: Greeks and everyone who wish they was Greek.” But no matter how many temples or gymnasiums the Greeks built, the Jews wouldn't assimilate. Antiochus IV Epiphanes had enough of it and finally outlawed the law. If you circumcised your son, you and he would be executed. He defiled the Lord's altar by sacrificing a pig on it. In Second Maccabees we read a horrific story of seven brothers and their mother who were tortured and gruesomely martyred when they refused to eat pork. Jews were forced to offer sacrifices to Zeus. Mattathias Maccabeus was watching as one Jewish man caved into that pressure. The writer of First Maccabees tells us how Mattathias burned with zeal for the law, just like Phinehas had. He ran forward and killed the man at the altar, then turned and killed the King's soldier. That would kick off a revolt against the pagan Greeks. But the Maccabean revolutionaries didn't just go after their foreign rulers; like Mattathias they went after compromising Jews as well. They were the inspiration for the Pharisees. The Pharisees didn't have that kind of power. They couldn't force anyone to keep the law or to keep it better. But they had the same kind of zeal. They desperately wanted, they prayed for the Lord to return to Zion to destroy the Romans and all the other unrighteous pagans—and all the compromisers like the tax collectors and sinners in Israel, too. And—getting back to Jesus peaching on the hillside—and Jesus now says that even that kind of zeal, that kind of righteousness isn't enough to get folks into the kingdom. In other words, to the people who were coming to Jesus thinking he was making it easier—kind of like some modern liberal spirituality that you can shape to your own liking—Jesus says, “No. I didn't come to make it easier.” But then he condemns even the Pharisees. They were the most righteous people around and even they weren't going to make the cut. So what now? Imagine all the people holding their breath to hear what Jesus is going to say next. They really, really want to know. Before he ever started preaching, they'd seen him doing all the Messiah things: casting out demons, healing the sick and the blind and the deaf. They knew without a doubt that the God of Israel was somehow acting in and through Jesus, so they had to think that when he preached, he preached with authority and he spoke for God. He's got their attention now. Now they want to know what it means to be more righteous than even the Pharisees. So Jesus goes on and says, “You have heard it said to the people of old, ‘You shall not murder'; and anyone who commits murder shall be liable to judgement. But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgement; anyone who insults his brother with foul and abusive language will be liable to the lawcourt; and anyone who says, ‘You fool,' will be liable to the fires of Gehenna.” And Jesus keeps going on like this. If we skip down to 5:27—picking up just were today's Gospel ends—Jesus says something similar about adultery. “You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you: everyone who gazes at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” On and on. Divorce falls in Jesus sites too: Divorce is wrong. Marriage is a life-long covenant. Tell the truth, he says, and you won't need to make oaths for people to believe you. The law commanded justice and put limits on retaliation, but Jesus says, “Don't resist evil with violence”, “turn the other cheek”. “When someone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat, too. When someone forces you to go one mile, go a second one with him.” And in verse 43 Jesus puts a cherry on top of all this. They knew that the law was about loving your neighbour, but then they got the idea that the only people who were their neighbours were their fellow Jews. Love your neighbours, yes, but hate your enemies—people like the Romans, the tax collectors, and the sinners who openly rejected God's law and covenant. Love your neighbours. Pray for God to smite your enemies. And Jesus says, “No! I tell you: love your enemies! Pray for people who persecute you!” Why? “So that you may be sons [and daughters] of your Father in heaven.” Do you want to have a share in the kingdom? Do you want to be a child of the Father? Do you want to know how to have a righteousness—a covenant faithfulness—greater than even the Pharisees? Do want people to glorify God when they see how you live? Then love the way that God loves. That's what righteousness has always been about: it's been about a people that conforms to the heart of God. Righteousness is about sinlessness, but it goes deeper than that and that's what the Pharisees and so many others in Israel had forgotten even though it was there all along: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and your neighbour as yourself.” Brothers and Sisters, this is what kingdom people look like in a culture war. They love the way God loves. This is the narrow gate, this is the difficult path that leads to the kingdom and life with God. It's hard. All we have to do is look around us. Things haven't changed much since Jesus preached this two thousand years ago. We're in the middle of a war ourselves and it seems like Christians are prone to the same two failures. There's a ditch on either side of the road. You fall into the ditch on this side when you give in and compromise. Whether it's the Judeans who went along with the Greeks, leaving their sons uncircumcised, eating pork, and making offerings to Zeus or the Christians today who give up and buy into the pagan world's notion that love is whatever you make it, anything goes, and we can all live and fellowship with God on our own terms. Brothers and Sisters, compromise with a godless and anti-gospel culture isn't the way. Jesus didn't come to make it easier to get into the kingdom, but there are a lot of people and churches today who think that the answer to the culture and to dwindling interest in the gospel is to lower the bar and to make it easier to think of yourself as a Christian. Appealing to the cultural moment might get you a few followers in the short term, but it will land you in the outer darkness, weeping and gnashing your teeth just as surely as the opposite error will. The opposite error—the ditch on the other side of the road—is Phariseeism. And that happens when we forget that the gospel wins not through violence and force but when Christians love the way that God loves. Brothers and Sisters, no amount of compelling, force, violence, or political power will ever move the heart of an unbeliever to give glory to God because of what they see in us. But in the midst of a culture war it's very easy for God's people to think that seizing the reigns of power is the answer. We'll do anything, compromise just about anything, team up with just about anyone no matter how ungodly they are, to get our hands on that power. And we can do it all with a zealousness like that of Phinehas or Mattathias that feels so right. We try to meld Caesar and Jesus together, forgetting that Caesars bloody and violent way is the opposite of the gospel, which conquers through love. You can't trust in Jesus and at the same trust in horses and chariots. You can't trust in Jesus and at the same time trust in political power. Jesus demands our allegiance and our trust—all of it and without compromise. And it's when we give him that full allegiance that we have the loving heart of God. It's when we're willing to follow Jesus as we turn the other cheek, as we give both our shirt and our coat, as we go the extra mile, even as we go to our own deaths, it's then that world takes notice and give glory to God. That's how the gospel captivates hearts and transforms the world. Brothers and Sisters, that's the narrow gate and the difficult path. Don't give up on righteousness when the going gets tough. And never forget that law is ultimately about loving God and loving our neighbours—everyone—the way God loves them—enough to give his own son. Love them as God does—even your worst enemy—even to point of sacrifice. That's how God once captivated your heart and it's how he will captivate theirs. Jesus stresses just how important this is. Going back to the end of our Gospel in Matthew 5:23 he says, “So, if you are coming to the altar with your gift and there you remember that your brother has a grievance against you, leave your gift right there in front of the altar, and go first and be reconciled to your brother. Then come back and offer your gift.” We probably miss the significance of this. To go to the temple in Jerusalem to make an offering to God was the peak of righteousness, of covenant faithfulness. This took precedence over everything else. No one. No. one. Would go to Jerusalem. And remember, Jesus is preaching in Galilee, a three day's journey from Jerusalem. No one would trek all that way, carrying their animal for sacrifice or buying one at an exorbitant price at the temple, wait their turn, and then standing there with the priest ready to make the sacrifice, suddenly realise they needed to go all the way back home to make something right with a brother or a sister. Yes, I think Jesus is using a bit of hyperbole here, but he wants to drive his point home, because this is how people—especially the Pharisees thought. If you were doing it for God, nothing else mattered. Think of the priest and the Levite in Jesus' parable, leaving a man for dead on the side of the road lest they become ritually impure. For all their talk of loving God, they'd forgotten just how much God loves us and they'd failed to live it out. That's why they grumbled when Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. They'd forgotten that all of heaven rejoices over a sinner who repents. No, says Jesus. Never think that you're honouring God if, at the same time, you're failing to love your neighbour the way God loves him. Never think you're doing God's work if, at the same time, you've compromised his call to faith and to faithfulness. Never think you're building the kingdom if, at the same time, you're compromising its principles. Instead, stop what you're doing and make things right. Go back and love your neighbour. Reconcile and make things right with him. Remember that you serve the God who gave his son out of love in order to reconcile sinful you to himself. Have that kind of love in your heart and let it shape every thing you do. Brothers and Sisters, every Sunday we recite those words of Jesus: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Don't just mindlessly say those words. Be shaped by them. Love God and love your neighbour with everything you've got and then you will have that righteousness greater even than that of the scribes and the Pharisees. Let's pray: O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

National Insurance Contributions (NICs) work differently for company directors—and misunderstanding them can cost you. In this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we walk through the 2025–26 rules, salary thresholds, and two key methods of NIC calculation. Whether you take a regular wage or one-off payments, knowing how to handle director NICs can save you money, reduce stress, and keep HMRC off your back. Main Topics & Discussion How Director NICs Differ From Regular Employees Directors have an annual earnings period, not weekly/monthly thresholds HMRC calculates NICs based on total annual earnings Irregular pay? No problem—NICs are smoothed out over the year Directors are not subject to minimum wage laws Two Methods for NIC Calculation 1. Annual Earnings Method (Default) Works on cumulative pay vs. annual thresholds Ideal for directors taking irregular or one-off salary payments Flexible but may result in large NIC bills late in the year 2. Alternative Method (Regular Earnings Basis) NICs calculated monthly like regular employees Ideal for steady monthly salaries Requires end-of-year reconciliation to ensure total NIC due is paid 2025–26 NIC Thresholds & Rates Primary Threshold (Employee): £12,570 (NIC starts here) Upper Earnings Limit: £50,270 (NIC drops to 2% above this) Employer NIC Threshold: £5,000 (NIC starts here) Employee Rate: 8% (then 2%) | Employer Rate: 15% Choosing the Best Method Annual Method Best for flexible, irregular salary patterns Slower NIC buildup—good for cash flow May cause unpredictable deductions Alternative Method Best for steady monthly salary (e.g. £1,200/month) Predictable deductions, easier budgeting Must reconcile at year-end; risk of surprises if ignored Salary Planning Options Option 1: Pay £5,000 Salary No income tax, employee NICs, or employer NICs Doesn't qualify as a state pension year Option 2: Pay £12,570 Salary Full personal allowance used Triggers NICs but qualifies for state pension Check employment allowance rules if sole director Common Mistakes to Avoid Using annual method without tracking thresholds Forgetting year-end reconciliation under alternative method Assuming £5,000 salary qualifies for pension—it doesn't Missing out on planning opportunities that reduce NIC and tax Real-World Examples One-off annual salary: Use annual method Monthly wage of £1,200: Use alternative method Reconcile by March or risk penalties Final Thoughts Director NICs give you flexibility—but require careful planning. Choose the right method, monitor thresholds, and don't leave payroll to chance. Links Mentioned in This Episode
“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”— Zen KoanLet's start with a confession.Developing the Unified Behavioral Model (UBM) revealed, in many ways, a side quest I didn't expect: Helping large language models (LLMs) navigate the mental spaghetti we humans lovingly call “logic”—which, if followed faithfully, often leads straight to paradox.You know—the deep, crunchy stuff:Body vs. environmentEmotion vs. feelingSkill vs. habitLogic vs. illogicThese aren't just philosophical speed bumps.They're full-blown conceptual cul-de-sacs.Every time the system—human or machine—hits one, it either freezes or splinters into a dozen confident-but-confused directions.What Is Abstract Thought, Anyway?Get it? To “draw away”It's not about sounding smart or solving puzzles.Frankly, it's your one real edge over AI—for now.It's about seeing things and thinking differently, especially when the pieces don't fit.It's Picasso and Pollock pulling apart realism.It's Einstein “riding a beam of light”.It's Lao Tzu explaining how “The soft and the weak overcome the hard and the strong.”Abstract thinking is cognitive flexibility —it's a different lens to process, beyond logic.It's the ability to zoom out and remove the frame.To hold logic and contradiction in the same hand, without blowing a fuse.So, we deliberately choose to go back to FUNDAMENTALS.Not to simplify, but to clarify.Not to dumb down, but to dissolve—to draw away from false binaries.Because here's the thing about dichotomies: Most aren't real.They're often tradition wrapped in Latin, handed down like sacred scrolls, passed around in conference halls and research papers.They survive not because they're accurate, but because they're familiar.“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” ~EinsteinAnd that's how the Unified Behavioral Model emerged: Not from divine inspiration, but moderate exasperation.Not from clarity, but from watching both brilliant humans and state-of-the-art LLMs get trapped in mental corners built by… You guessed it: LOGIC.Behaviorally speaking:Is the environment separate from the body?Not really. Both are environmental stimulants.If a headache doesn't change your mood and behavior, just like an idiot screaming at a baseball game, let me know.Are emotions and feelings different?Functionally perhaps? Not elementally. Both relay information.They're conduits—waves influencing your Behavior Echo-System.What about habits and skills?Turns out, they're more alike than different. Both are behaviors shaped through repetition, refined over time until they become automatic. Intentional or not, they're built the same way.How do we reconcile logic and illogic?Reconcile? Even the most “logical” among us do spectacularly irrational things—because we're driven by meaning, by narrative, by the stories we tell ourselves.Logic and illogic aren't separate. They're co-pilots.So if you want to teach a machine how behavior works, we first have to ‘draw away' the various dichotomies logic has constructed.And once those dissolve?The behavior model doesn't need to be built.It simply... emerges.Google: “Why doesn't a unified behavior model exist?”The answer begins with complexity.Complexity created by distinctions (above) that are both very important AND fundamentally (behaviorally speaking), not so important.Like jiggling the old TV antenna for the hundredth time, and suddenly the picture locks in—clear as day, as though it was never scrambled at all.Turns out, it —A UNIFIED BEHAVIOR MODEL—does exist. ☝️It just had to be excavated from under layers of distinctions, logic, and dichotomies.Logic is linear.Behavior, like the human experience, is abstract.This is elemental behavioral literacy. This is the Unified Behavioral Model (UBM)We didn't invent it—we excavated it.It was buried.Habits 2 Goals Premium by Martin Grunburg is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.“What is your face before your parents were born?” — Zen KoanBecause while machines crunch data, humans connect dots.While models can simulate logic, you can sit with uncertainty.When you can envision a bigger picture, the frames dissolve.“Reflection” (Man Sitting) M. Grunburg 1987Elemental behavioral science shouldn't be reserved for labs and lectures. We teach adolescents the ABCs and 123s —elemental math and grammar. We can, and should, teach elemental behavior. Maybe abstract thinking will come along for the ride.“Experience and knowledge don't arrive with labels, silos, or departments—we create those. Sometimes those distinctions are incredibly useful (like language itself). And sometimes—also like language—they make problem-solving harder than it needs to be.”
Send us a textContinuing with our message on dealing with anger, we get a more divine perspective on reconciliation. Just like how everyone loses when anger is retained, everyone wins when anger is dealt with in a Godly fashion.Reconciliation is a big part of human relationships and it is also a big part of why Jesus came and died for us. Once we get this principle down in our lives, things will go a whole lot smoother.
Send us a textJesus gives us instruction on conflict resolution within the family of God that is very effective but sadly is not often used when conflicts arise. The result is the conflict doesn't get resolved and in some cases destroys relationships among God's family. But following these step (being filled with the Holy Spirit) brings about reconciliation which is very important in the Church.
High Pointe Church | July 6th, 2025 5 Questions Asked of Jesus Wk 4/5 Aandre McDonell Title: "A Question About Reconciliation" Matthew 18:21-35 “The Community Prescription” Are your relationships replaceable? Main Idea: God Desires his people to reconcile their relationships in the same measure he has reconciled with us. Reconciliation requires Humility. Matthew 7:3-5 Matthew 6:14-15 1 John 1:9-10 Christ gave up his Heavenly throne for a human nature. Do you want to be Right or do you want to be in Relationship? Reconciliation Requires Commitment to God's Kingdom Agree on Values, not Positions Paul and John Mark Conflict Acts 13:13 Acts 15:36-40 2 Timothy 4:11 Reconciliation Requires Mercy 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 Those who Offend need transformation, not wrath. Mercy is NOT getting what you DO deserve. Grace IS getting what you DO NOT deserve. Forgiveness Frees You from the prison of offense. DL Moody: "I believe this is keeping more people from having power with God than any other thing, they are not willing to cultivate the spirit of forgiveness. If we allow the root of bitterness to spring up in our hearts against someone, our prayer will not be answered Decide: Will you Reconcile with others in the same way God has reconciled with you?

In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano brings to life the powerful story of Benjamin Rush, a brilliant and provocative Founding Father who helped shape the moral and medical foundation of the United States. As a signer of the Declaration of Independence, an early abolitionist, and the father of American psychiatry, Rush fought for liberty not only with his pen, but through revolutionary ideas on public health, mental illness, and education. From challenging slavery to reconciling Adams and Jefferson, this episode explores how Rush's fearless voice helped heal a new nation and why his legacy still matters today. Episode Highlights: How Benjamin Rush fused Enlightenment ideals with revolutionary action to become one of the most influential and outspoken Founding Fathers Rush was one of the earliest abolitionists and mentored Black leaders like Richard Allen The dramatic reconciliation of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—engineered by Rush behind the scenes

You miss your estranged daughter or son, and you long to connect with them. But the silence and rejection can feel unbearable sometimes.When that ache rises, it whispers: Just do something. Say something. Reach out. DO. SOMETHING. . Doing nothing feels like consenting to lose your child forever. And that is definitely not what you want. But what if reacting in the moment costs you the very thing you're praying for? . In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, I want to speak into that space… where your grief meets your impulse. I'll tell you how the story of Esau can teach us about estrangement, desire and the high cost of choosing short-term relief over long-term restoration. . Without even realizing it, you can trade your shot at reconciliation for the fleeting satisfaction of doing something on impulse. Oh, and grab your journal because I'm giving you some powerful prompts to help you sort through your feelings. So that, when you need to, you can stop yourself before you sabotage your breakthrough. . Warm up your tea and let's talk about it. .

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies? This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn't hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I'll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one. We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It's not just a phase when you're dating—it's a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are. One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It's a practical framework that helps couples come back from conflict stronger. But what stood out even more was this mindset they kept coming back to: we're on the same team. That phrase alone has the power to stop an argument in its tracks and realign a relationship that feels like it's drifting apart. This episode is packed with real tools, honest moments, and a whole lot of heart. If you're in a relationship—new or decades deep—there's something here for you. You're either training your partner that this is a safe space to share… or you're teaching them to keep it all inside. That's the choice. And I want you to choose connection. Key Takeaways: The most damaging part of conflict isn't the argument—it's the lack of repair after. Learn the 5 Rs to recover and reconnect after a disagreement. “Speaking to your partner's greatness” builds them up and strengthens your bond. Curiosity is the secret to keeping relationships alive and engaging. One person can spark change, but both have to sustain it. You don't have to end the relationship to end the version of it that isn't working. Let this episode be the spark. Listen with your partner. Talk about it. And remember—you're on the same team.
David A. Robertson (Norway House Cree Nation) gives us 52 practical suggestions — one for each week of the year — to support and connect with Indigenous people. 52 Ways to Reconcile lists tasks as simple and enjoyable as making Bannock, to as challenging as taking personal action toward reconciliation. Matthew Fletcher (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians) has devoted himself to the legal profession, becoming one of the most respected experts in Indian Law. In his spare time he has written and published a collection of fictional short stories, Stick Houses. He draws from his own observations and stories from his family to illustrate the lives of modern Native Americans. We'll add Matthew Fletcher's Stick Houses, and David A. Robertson's 52 Ways to Reconcile to the Native Bookshelf.
Through his books and public speaking, David A. Robertson has dedicated his career to sharing stories about Indigenous people. His latest book, 52 Ways to Reconcile, is a guide for all of us to take action when it comes to reconciliation — and shows how small acts can have a big impact. Like all of David's work, the book tackles hard truths with a gentle touch and a profound sense of hope. David joins Mattea Roach to talk about educating children on Indigenous histories, how his father influenced his life and work and why "reconciliation" is a journey ... not a destination.If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Tanya Talaga: Searching for her great-great grandmother — a story of family, truth and survival Imani Perry: Tracing blue through Black American life
What happens when a "perfect" relationship hits its first major conflict? In this powerful examination of Song of Solomon chapter 5, we explore the moment when everything goes wrong between two people who deeply love each other. The passage takes us right to the heart of relationship breakdown – he arrives home late, she's prepared for an intimate evening but chooses resentment over reconciliation, and what could have been resolved with a few steps to the door becomes a painful journey through the city streets seeking restoration. It's a story that feels uncomfortably familiar to anyone who has ever chosen pride over forgiveness.Through this ancient text, we uncover six relationship problems that still plague us today: prioritizing work over presence, questioning if someone deserves our kindness, the painful irony of longing for space until we get it, pursuing reconnection when someone is unavailable, experiencing unexpected trauma, and watching private struggles become public pain. But more importantly, we discover God's four-step blueprint for healing broken relationships: Repent, Reconcile, Reconnect, and Renew.What makes this message so powerful isn't just its practical wisdom for marriage and friendships, but how it reveals God's heart for reconciliation. When we understand that our own relationship with God follows this same pattern – where He pursues us despite our closed doors and cold hearts – we gain a new perspective on forgiveness. We're reminded that Christ didn't just tell us to fix our relationships; He showed us how by becoming "a friend of sinners" who reconciles us to Himself.Whether you're navigating marriage difficulties, friendship tensions, or family conflicts, this message offers both practical tools for fighting fair and the spiritual foundation for lasting reconciliation. Because ultimately, the goal isn't winning arguments but experiencing the righteousness of God in our relationships.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 630, And It's About Small Business Administration - Essential Strategies for Contractors Running a small business is exciting, but let's be honest, managing the admin side of things can feel overwhelming. Between keeping financial records, looking after daily operations, and ensuring compliance with tax laws, it's easy to feel buried under endless to-do lists. But here's the good news: with the right strategies, small business administration doesn't have to be a headache. Here are some practical steps to streamline your business admin, save time, and boost productivity, leaving you with more energy to do what you love – whether it's working at the jobsite or growing your business! Why structure is the foundation of success Think of admin tasks as the backbone of your business. If these tasks aren't handled regularly and properly, things can quickly spiral out of control. Staying on top of your admin enables you to see how your business is truly performing, reduce legal risks, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Here's where accounting software can make your life easier: Automated Bookkeeping: Track income and expenses without lifting a finger. Payroll Made Simple: Handle staff payments quickly and accurately. Real-Time Insights: Monitor cash flow and performance at a glance. Popular tools like Xero or QuickBooks are ideal for small construction businesses seeking to streamline administrative tasks. And the best part? They store everything digitally, ensuring you're audit-ready at any time. Go digital with your records. Paper receipts and ledgers are so last decade. Not only do they accumulate unnecessarily, but they're also at risk of being lost or damaged. Transitioning to digital records is a crucial step toward administrative efficiency. Here's how to make it happen: Scan and Upload Receipts: Use mobile apps to digitize paper invoices. Cloud Storage: Securely store records online for easy access and backups. Spreadsheets or Software: Use spreadsheets for basic tracking or invest in platforms that allow you to tag and code transactions instantly. Digital records reduce clutter and make year-end tasks, such as taxes, much easier. Organize the administration with task breakdowns. Breaking admin tasks into daily, weekly, monthly, and annual routines will make them feel more manageable. Treat them like habits – they may be small tasks, but they add up to make a significant impact. Daily Tasks Devote just 15–20 minutes a day to knock out small but essential tasks like: Checking emails and responding to client queries. Logging sales and expenses into your accounting software. Scanning new receipts or invoices. Weekly Tasks Dedicate time weekly to review your business's operational health: Pay suppliers and review outstanding invoices. Reconcile accounts to ensure everything has been logged correctly. Schedule social media or post updates to engage your audience. Monthly Tasks At the end of each month, set aside time for: Payroll processing (if you have employees). Reviewing inventory levels and replenishing stock. Analyzing your profit margins or hitting sales targets. Annual Tasks The big picture matters, too! Annually, focus on: Preparing your taxes (or outsourcing them). Reviewing your business plan and setting goals. Evaluating ongoing contracts, insurance, or subscriptions. Breaking tasks into bite-sized chunks will help you stay on track and avoid falling behind. Tip: Set calendar reminders to stay on track! Pro Tip: Ask us about our "Five For Five at Five" When to consider outsourcing? If the admin is still consuming too much of your time, outsourcing can be a game-changer. Hiring a virtual assistant, part-time administrator, bookkeeper, or accountant can free up your schedule for high-impact tasks. Here are some options to consider: Virtual Assistants can handle tasks such as appointment scheduling, data entry, and email management. Accountants and bookkeepers can ensure accuracy and compliance with tax laws, saving you from costly errors. Freelancers or part-time administrative staff can step in as needed without the cost of hiring full-time employees. Outsourcing doesn't just reduce your workload – it also gives you peace of mind that specialists are handling complex tasks. Important Consideration: Specialized accountants understand the nuances of the construction industry, including project costing and compliance with tax regulations, enabling them to provide tailored financial solutions. This expertise is crucial for navigating the complexities associated with managing construction finances and ensuring that your financial records are accurate and compliant with applicable laws. Moreover, outsourcing minimizes the risk of errors that can arise from doing-it-yourself (DIY) accounting. Experienced specialists leverage advanced accounting software to track expenses, monitor cash flow, and prepare detailed financial reports. This precision not only aids in effective decision-making but also helps identify areas for cost savings and revenue growth. By having accurate and timely financial information, you can make informed decisions that positively impact your bottom line. In Summary Build a Sustainable Routine The key to effective administration in your construction business lies in consistency. Use Digital Tools: Leverage technology to stay organized and automate repetitive tasks, from invoicing to document management. Establish Routines: Make your administrative tasks part of your daily or weekly habits to prevent them from piling up. Seek Expertise: Don't hesitate to get help when necessary. Whether through software or professionals, utilizing available resources can free you to focus on your core business. By implementing these practices, you can establish a foundation for efficient operations and enhanced profitability in your construction business. If you're looking for assistance in streamlining your administrative processes, don't hesitate to reach out! Whether you have questions about your finances or need guidance on better practices, I am here to help. It's time to work smarter, not harder.

Trump's win exposed political tensions between Arab-American voters — who were critical of Democratic support of Israel's war in Gaza, and Black voters — who remain the Democrats' most loyal supporters. That friction is especially pronounced in the majority Arab city of Dearborn, Michigan, and its majority Black neighbor, Detroit. This week, we go to a testy iftar dinner where Arab and Black folks sat down to begin having tough conversations.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
When Congress returns from spring break next week, its first order of business will be writing a budget reconciliation bill that's expected to cut taxes but also make deep cuts to Medicaid. But at least some Republicans are concerned about cutting a program that aids so many of their constituents. Also this week, the Supreme Court heard a case that could threaten the availability of no-cost preventive care under the Affordable Care Act. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Tami Luhby of CNN, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these breaking stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Rae Ellen Bichell about her story on how care for transgender minors is changing in Colorado. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: MedPage Today's “Medical Journals Get Letters From DOJ,” by Kristina Fiore. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The New York Times' “A Scientist Is Paid to Study Maple Syrup. He's Also Paid to Promote it,” by Will Evans, Ellen Gabler, and Anjali Tsui. Sarah Karlin-Smith: The Tampa Bay Times' “Countering DeSantis, $10M Hope Florida Donation Came From Medicaid, Draft Shows,” by Alexandra Glorioso and Lawrence Mower. Tami Luhby: Stat's “In Ireland, a Global Hub for the Pharma Industry, Trump Tariffs Are a Source of Deep Worry,” by Andrew Joseph. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
