Does anyone have a recommendation for a residential construction/remodeling coaching program with systems, daily operations, hiring etc? Looking for a program that you have had personal success with. Thank you in advance!Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
I heard this quote recently and wanted to share with everyone in the hope it has the same effect on their mindset as it did on me. I have been thinking about this nonstop since it landed on me. It changed my entire way of thinking about my day to day work. I think this saying is so important to keep in mind everyday when you are running a business. Rushing and cramming is never going to make you faster or more efficient in the long run. Its only going to slow you down and cause you to fumble and fall. Sure there are times when we need to get things done quickly but that should never take away from quality of work and completing things that need doing. Slow down and smooth things out, this will only increase your speed and efficiency.What's a creative or out-of-the box way you improved your business while short on cash?

The Best Projects and Programs begin with a Seed of Love and Support
Let’s start a discussion. What would happen if communities, businesses, contractors, creatives, and service providers came together to help people who are trying to build something meaningful, but simply don’t have the resources to get there alone? Not handouts. Not pity. Real opportunities. People with good hearts. People pursuing a dream. People rebuilding after setbacks. People trying to launch businesses that could one day support their families and contribute back into their communities. As a media production company, NWPhotoVideo is preparing community-focused documentary and storytelling projects designed to highlight those individuals and help connect them with real support. That support could mean mentorship, repairs, services, sponsorships, business assistance, transportation, food support, hair and makeup, vehicle repairs, or simply giving someone visibility and encouragement when the world has overlooked them. We are willing to volunteer much of our labor to help make these stories happen, while working to secure sponsorships that help cover the heavy production costs behind professional media work. The bigger question is this: Who would actually be willing to step in and help? Because I believe there are still a lot of good people out there. We’ve just become disconnected from one another. Most people don’t even know their neighbors anymore. It’s time to change that.$1K Home Depot Giftcard Giveaway 🔥🛠️

How to manage all aspects of a business as a sole proprietor?
I started my business in 2024 and although I have been a foreman/project manager for other companies, it seems like I am having a harder time managing everything on my own as those companies had the employees to work those positions As a sole proprietor how else can I be more efficient with juggling tasks from being the laborer of the company to be in the salesman and doing the accounting.
