For this issue we have a collection of the best advice that has stuck with some of our readers. As they told us on Facebook:
Anton Djokic If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, then how will you find the time to go back and fix it?
Daniel O. Saucedo Sometimes losing a customer is the best choice you make.
Kyle Meeks Integrity is everything. Do what you say you will do when you say you’ll do it.
David Runyon Work to your own standards and no one else’s.
Lou LiCausi The jobs you don’t get are the customers God saved you from.
Jason Cantin You can pick two of these but never three: fast, cheap, good.
Greg Martin We are artists and the subfloor is our palette. I heard that 20 years ago and still say it to this very day.
Shaun McGhee Wear kneepads.
Eugene Stone The best advice I ever got was the quote, “Nobody ever listened themselves out of a job.”
Bob Patterson My boss 27 years ago, Rick Cicero, taught me to do every job like it was your own home, and if it does not “look” right to you, it will be the same for the customer.
