The infamous first post from Luke ... and, as John said ... wow

Contractors—what’s the one piece of advice you got when you were just starting out that turned out to be a game-changer?

We want to hear from you so others here n the community can benefit from what you’ve learned along the way.

Share your wisdom below so the next generation of contractors doesn’t have to learn everything the hard way.

We just launched a brand new spot on the community where you can show off your work — the dramatic transformations, the “we can’t believe it’s the same place” moments, and everything in between.

Check it out here: Show Your Work: Before & After

This is your place to:

• Post your own Before & After shots
• See what other contractors are doing across the country
• Swap tips and tricks on getting the best photos of those incredible transformations

Whether it’s roofing, remodels, landscaping, or anything else — we want to see it!


Who’s going to be the first to drop a killer transformation?

SWIFTIES UNITE!!!

He actually hogged the bathroom the whole rest of the afternoon removing the toilet water from his system...I had to go down the street to pee...

Thanks to @the_ladyplumber for making this game of Truth or Lie a fun one... I'm still wincing though about sewage going into my mouth or eye

FYI - reply from last week's webinar is up on YouTube and here in the post-webinar discussion thread!

We're building an AI camera for contractors, but what does that mean?

It could help diagnose a problem, tell you what you're looking at, or maybe create documents while you're taking photos.

What do YOU want it to do?

I grew up saying tennis shoes and never questioned the name until my college roommate made fun of me for not calling them sneakers

Does AI know anything about skilled trades?

Tell us how it did in the comments

Photos say a lot.

But there's a heck of a lot going on at every project. That's why we're testing something new, an Activity feed.

There's so many moving parts and people on a job, so what if you could see not only the photos but when a check list gets finished, comments people are leaving, documents getting signed-off on and more all in one place.

Let us know what you think and which you'd find more useful!

Luke has a tough time asking for help without being snarky.

BUT for the sake of building the best app, we're here again to have you help us design it.

We have 3 options for possible project screens and we'd love it if you'd tell us which one you like the most and why. Heck, you can tell us which one you hate too.

Not hiring a fractional CFO sooner. Not growing my skillset as a leader. Not learning how actually communicate through a sale properly.

If you had to pick one of those to tell someone starting out and couldn't list any of the others, which would you say is the most important to do right when you're coming out of the gate to avoid the most pain down the road?

this is an impossible thing to answer but it would have to be the financials first
