Notable Quotes:

“My guess is that you know if you blew the budget in the original estimate or during the project itself.”

 

“It isn’t enough to have an itemized budget without a detailed timeline for your project.”

 

“Managing, or mismanaging, the renovation and the contractors is probably where the issue in going over budget lies.”

 

“I would hit them immediately and then again in 90 days.”

 

“I would reach out to leadfuzion.com and tell them you are interested in marketing to probate and foreclosure lists and ask them the best strategy.”

 

“You should go grab the book, Extreme Ownership.”

 

“As you grow, you can bring someone in to manage your people, but in the short-term, you just have to do it.”
