WFB asked followers on Facebook and Instagram what they’d do if someone gave them $10,000 for their business. Here’s what they said:
Paul Wilke
I would use it for marketing. That way I could 10x it.
Robbie Allen
Bona Power Drive and new decals for the van.
Will Dennis
Put it all on black.
Kent Rogerson
Take a vacation, the breather would be good for business.

I would invest in myself and marketing. Buying new tools. And setting up things to be a part of the community, getting in touch with more clients, customers and contractors.
Mike Somodean
Training, tools, marketing.
Casey Ditsworth
Shop upgrades.

Honestly...Give it back, and continue sanding or installing... and say you will make your own money.

Training.
Troy Stanfield
More toys … I mean tools.

Probably spend it on the NWFA classes and membership. I've been wanting to do that but they always happen when I'm slammed with work. They should do them in the winter when we're all slow.

Investing in the right talent can yield significant returns, as a single strategic hire has the potential to increase this investment tenfold within the first year.

I’d buy me a Lägler Flip with all of the attachments to complete my sanding set. The rest of the money I’d invest into a work van with a vehicle wrap with me on it sanding a floor.

Pay for a stupid workman’s comp audit with State Farm—where they are trying to misclassify my subcontractor as my employee. 😢
