TIPS:
1. Build capital, even just a bit each year.
2. Budget straight talk.
3. In-person vs emailing budget docs.
4. Yes, you are a builder, but you need to be all about customer service.
5. Be accurate, not wishful, when costing any project.
6. Use your current job to hone the next job.
7. Market your own work rather than pay someone else to market it.
8. Hard to be selective, but in the long run, don't take a project cause you "have to."
9. Matt recognizes that every day, something "cool" is going on your job site, something we think is routine or uninteresting that you need to share or "feature" with your client.
10. Think and act like a building professional, not just a carpenter or a builder.
11. Sometimes you need to say no if your gut tells you the project and/or the client is a bust.
12. Find your niche; don't try to be everything to everybody.
13. You are more than just your business; don't let your business take over your life.
