Make Trades Great Again

No body wants to say the "R" word but a slow down is expected. Regardless of which direction the economy takes its that time of year when construction and remodels are on a break. 
The guys talk about local shop prep and business tasks that can fill some down time and make a big difference in our operations.

We never would've thought a software was going to make us more money but here we are Scrooge McDucking it into piles of gold coins. 

Seriously tho, if you are self-employed and not using a software that puts all your billing, all your customers, all your pricing, all your marketing and som much more in one place then you are almost for sure wasting time and losing money. Take it from us, we used to be that way too.
