• Just read your brief article about estimating. Thank you. . . . I awoke this morning with a renewed sense of priority. Making money and growing the company . . . Thank you again for being a voice to be listened to in our business.

The latter was the best but very quirky/difficult to customize the database! Should’ve bought FTE right out of the gate but more importantly, I should’ve read your books 8-10 years ago!
