A couple of weeks ago we put out a pod called “Forecasting Like Tim Bailey”. 

It was basically encouraging everyone to sit down and take control of their schedule for the rest of the year. 

If you have not much work on, this is a good thing to do coz it will help you see what you need to do for the upcoming busy season. 

If you have lots of work on, this is a good thing to do coz it will help you see what you need to do for the upcoming busy season. 

But when is enough work actually enough? Is there a limit to what you can say yes to? 

Do you just raise prices? Do you shut up shop and take on no new jobs? 

Do you hire a tradie? An apprentice? An admin? A trade assistant? A journeyman? A journey woman? A journey person? Or maybe just someone on a journey somewhere? 

Do you jump back on the tools? Coz ain’t nobody does it better than you am I right or what!! 

Or should you just say no? 

The answer of course, is completely subjective. 

You may even say there is no answer. Just like the Matrix, where the child says “there is no spoon”. 

But we all know there is a spoon, and we may just need to deep dive and chat around the “saying yes” subject to help shed some light on the topic. 

Whatever you’re doing and whatever you’re up to just remember this: the money is made or lost in the office. 

Office time = money time. 

Planning time = awesome. 

Enjoy the pod and get after it x
