Running a successful company in any economy takes knowledge and experience. You can't survive without one or the other. You can have knowledge but without experience, everything seems to be trial and error. You can have the experience, however, without the knowledge to complete all items necessary in a company, you will find that you struggle unnecessarily.
During the 16 years that I have been in construction, I have consistently learned new and better ways to do things and have worked with many contracting officers and contractors to find out what people in this business need to know.
There is no one thing that will make you successful, you need to know how to perform those everyday tasks that keep your company going and to be profitable.
Face is, no one goes into business because they have money burning a hole in their pocket and they want to spend it on something that means nothing to them and then they want to work like crazy till they drop. NO ONE wants this -- so why do people go blindly into business and not have all the skills and knowledge that they need? Why do they not search out people who have done these things before them and who have had great success?
I have taken all of my experience from the last 20 years in business (16 of those in construction), and put them all together into one book that is on my website. This book covers everything from the time you get the contract until you close it out and do all the warranty work, including accounting and personnel management.
This book covers dealing with Federal Government contracting, competitive bid work and negotiated work. I didn't put this book together to take people's money for things that they could find easily on the web but to give people in the business a manual to keep beside them in contracting. I have boxes printed, bound and ready to ship to you today.
Keeping the most money in business is the bottom line why people are in business for themselves in the first place. I, too, didn't go into the business of consulting to not make money - but I had another reason too, to help people establish their goals, train them and their employees on how to reach those same goals and to see them succeed in their profession.
Why are you in business? Is it to make money or just have something to do or some place to go to everyday that takes all of your free time?
If you need someone who has the experience to help you out in your company, contact me and we can work on a plan together to help you and your company succeed.
