Ok I know some of us are content creators as well as multiple business owners. Right now I own 3 businesses and the paperwork is driving me bananas. Invoicing, job and profit tracking, transferring funds between businesses to organize hours and material spent on each due to having one single credit account at the suppliers.

I’ve been toying with the ideal of merging the companies into one incorporated company (my plumbing company is incorporated and content, and roofing company are separate sole proprietors), or at least merge the content and plumbing since a lot involves product and labour for both myself and my assistant. The roofing is just a small side. Challenging is an understatement. Not to mention the insane tax rate for sole props. I’m open to thoughts and ideas if anyone has done the same or has been in a similar situation??

We have 3 facets to our business, and two of them require inventory to be kept and tracked across 3-5 vehicles, 2-3 storage sheds, and 1 warehouse at HQ. We track over 100 SKUs from sensor probes to computer boards to refrigeration valves. We are testing out inFlow for the next two weeks and so far, are generally pleased with their user interface, and integrations. Does anyone else utilize a tracking system across a similar scope? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Has anyone used inFlow before?

CompanyCam says I need to give permissions to use camera on my iPhone. I don't have an option that shows up to allow this anymore.

For context, I've been using the camera on the app for a while now. Is this an app update problem or an Apple problem? I saw the latest updates included "fixing" camera settings.

Hey team!

Is there a way to delete multiple tags at the same time?

Quick question... Can the tags we create be autosorted so they're in alphabetical order?

Thanks for joining today's class!

What’s up everyone. I just wanted to check in to see how y’all were doing?! Now that summer is coming to an end and the cooler weather sets in, any intentions for the next season??

Mine is to take my annual holiday coming up and when I return, be more present and less scrambly as life is always super hectic in the summer time.

What does everyone’s daily routing look like? I’m up at 4:15am, admin, gym, editing, work, work, work until sometimes late into the night. Making lunches and dinner can seem daunting with a crazy (self inflicted) schedule. Yet I can’t stop doing this to myself. Ever since opening my company it’s been the same. Do you have a job that you’re not able to just drop belt at 4:30pm and head home? Plumbing is challenging as you often have someone’s heat or water off so there’s no bouncing til your done. Time management is definitely not my greatest skill, how the hell does one survive?! Or fix this insanity?! I’m tired! But, I do holiday a lot for extended periods as I have to remove myself from home to actually decompress so theirs is a light at the end of the tunnel at least.

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately. When I follow someone, its because I'm interesting in their content. Maybe its funny, or educational, or I just really like the person after meeting them IRL (talking about you @the_ladyplumber)

My question is this, when do you unfollow? Lately I've noticed that many of those I follow post commentary or repost political content. I don't use the plaforms for any of that. Do you just mute them? Unfollow them?

I don't have the time to wade through to the usefull content.

@SlimBrick @RavinBuilders @the_ladyplumber are crushing on social but I know they aren't the only ones who have had success. Share your best insights or ask some questions!

Every contractor has a “first time” story. First time using CompanyCam that is!

Where did you first hear about CompanyCam?

In cutting some clips from the Good Contractor Podcast, it never ceases to amaze me how every few episodes we get on the "you're not charging enough" conversation.

I put an example from Paul Jamison below when he first started his business (see below for the clip).

Some have shared with me during interviews over the past few years that it sometimes came down to being afraid to have "the price conversation" with customers.

How often do you look at what you're charging? Are you changing prices each year? More often? Less often?

I always save email threads because it’s happened where I’ve had to go back and remind a client of what we communicated about. Right now I’m just copy and pasting them to my Jobber notes in each job.

I don’t like the disorganized nature of it. There isn’t a keyword search in the notes in Jobber, so you do have to read through the whole thread to find it.

Is there a better way? Is there a CompanyCam spot that would log it into Jobber?

I'll let it speak for itself.

Luke and I chatted about this on a recent episode of the Good Contractor Podcast, but Associated Builders and Contractors estimates the United States will need nearly half a million people to be new workers in the construction industry to meet demand next year (2026).

On Fridays, I'll drop some great content that may help YOU or your business that came out each week. Whether it's a blog, webinar or podcast, I'll try to highlight several items to check out that could be of interest. I'll likely miss something, so if you want to see ALL of the content, hit up the Resource Hub and dig in.
