Weekly Tip: Keep it Short. According to Strategies for Effective Tweeting: A Statistical Review, “Tweets containing less than 100 characters receive 17% higher engagement than longer Tweets.” While Twitter limits your messages with its 140 character limit, Facebook, Google+ and other networks don’t impose a character limit. Sometimes, the shorter, the better!

For the past five years, they've taken over the remodeling world with their hit show "Fixer Upper," flipping houses around the greater Waco, Texas, area. So it came as a surprise to many fans that they have decided to end their show after the airing of the fifth, now final, season, set to air in November.

Being in business can be filled with uncertainty, especially during years where volume fluctuates. Business owners yearn to know that they’re on the right track, that their business is doing OK, and that their hard work is yielding desirable results. This is where benchmarks come in. It’s comforting to learn that your business is performing similarly to others or that maybe you’re even doing a bit better than average.
However, you need to look at what the benchmark is measuring before drawing any conclusions. Here are three examples showing why you need to look behind the numbers.

Shawn McCadden writes: Among the most common challenges I hear about from remodelers is the feeling of hitting a wall as they reach a certain volume of produced work. This is particularly true for companies trying to grow. They share their frustrations regarding their inability to keep growing, as well as their struggle to keep up with what is getting done. When this happens the business and the owner have reached never-never land.

Remodelers Advantage
The phrase at the end of most job descriptions, “and all other duties as required” is one of the most dangerous expressions a remodeling company can include when looking for your next team member.
