The Aspire Institute
 Most builders drive more projects and more revenue hoping that the profit margin magically works out. At Aspire, we’ve found that hope is not a reliable strategy. We’ve learned that contractors often fail to utilize a set of practiced business principles that drive profitability - mostly because they’ve never been shown them. To help you avoid these mistakes-and generate more profit with less work and stress-we’ve put together a report to show you how profits can truly be optimized. Uncover where your profit has been hiding in a FREE white paper from the Aspire Institute for Contractors.

Universal Design – a Global Paradigm
September 24, 2019 at 12 pm Central Time
This webinar is designed to educate on a holistic view of Universal Design and its contributing factors. We will review the Seven Principles of Universal Design, the scope of the term “ability”, address the various human factors affected by disabilities, and how design can either diminish or enhance those abilities. The presentation then works through how to blend UD principles into actual structural and interior design planning and selection.

Good employees are dedicated to great service, no matter what business they are in. Consequently, I am curious about how any business that has good employees identifies them.
Restaurants offer a lot of lessons regarding this process. The turnover is high, even in a very good restaurant. So, the questions asked to job candidates must do a good job of weeding out those who might not truly be committed to service.

Markup & Profit
This article is meant to serve two purposes. One is to help other contractors and construction business owners deal with a common issue and open the conversation to ask for advice. The second is, more selfishly, to help me to think through this conundrum myself. I am counting on the discipline of writing to help me have greater understanding and to be better skilled.

It is the eternal paradox: There are remodeling contractors who sometimes get more inquiries than they can deal with, then ignore the overflow and add to the negative images of the industry. There are large specialty contractors who have inadequate or no follow-up on leads, which didn’t turn into presentations or sales. They may believe in a very old concept of “sell it or forget it.”

Are you leaning in or sitting back? I like this imagery because it not only separates two ways of working on your business, but also clearly illustrates the importance of one mindset over the other.
We have seen many changes in the remodeling industry, consumer behaviors, and the buying process. For some, these changes brought insights and new best practices. For others, it meant digging into habits and old ways of thinking.

About a year ago, my husband and I bought a beautiful antique rug to display on the wall of our bedroom. We had a sleeve sewn on the top, threaded a piece of lumber through it and attached the lumber to the wall. My husband hung the rug while I was out of town, using a length of wood that protruded about three inches from either side of the fabric.
