Our first question, "How are you doing?" provides interesting results. For each of our remodeler contractors that was doing well, we had and equal number that were doing not so well, with a third of the responses reporting average results. We only had one firm report that they were doing wonderful. The non-remodelers reported more successful results with almost all responses in the above fair range.
What have we learned? The economy is booming and we are all busy but shouldn't our responses have shown more success on our part? Half of remodelers are doing fair or poorer! Why aren't we making more money? The gurus of our industry measure us in terms of money and time. How are we doing on the time part of our happiness equation?
This week's question: What did you do on your summer vacation?
