As the saying goes “if I knew then what I know now” I would have read both books and attended this most valuable training class 11 years ago before I started my business. This training should be taught in college for anyone considering a career in construction. Thank you both for sharing your experiences, knowledge and truly helping the little guy.

I have been a subscriber to your newsletters for years. Want to first take a moment to thank you for all your insights in the industry. Your newsletters are topics at many of our meetings and I have several of your books which have been of great benefit. Again thank for being such a valuable resource for our industry.

Your willingness to answer our questions, classes, and all the resources we have gotten our hands on through markupandprofit.com have proven to be invaluable to us. We’ll be celebrating our 10 year business anniversary in July and, in part, that is thanks to the insights we’ve gleaned from what your business accomplishes.

Michael advised me when I was having a difficult client. He has a great knack for understanding where people stand and I think he has helped many honest contractors go from losing money to having a decent life. I think the biggest change I was able to make was to not be focused on price. To be focused on professional service and professional work. People will pay for that.

Our team is really enjoying your book, taking it a chapter a week and we have a one-hour conference call every Monday to discuss the previous week’s chapter. It’s great and confirming that a lot of the things we already do as a company, but there’s a lot of things that we don’t do. It’s allowed us to fine tune and we’re looking forward to continued growth.

I really just wanted to say thank you. I would say that 90% of my business has been structured and based off of the advise in your books and I am now fully employed by my company and I no longer work for any outside employers. I know I am on the right track thanks to all of your help and the products you push on your website. I also just bought the proposal writer and it works great!

I just started using FTE this week. I’m very pleased with how simple yet effective it is. I’ve used THOUSANDS of dollars worth of estimating software over the years and most recently Hometech. 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!

This is the only newsletter that I actually read when it hits my inbox – I have unsubscribed from all the others. Each article that Michael Stone writes is a pleasure to read. Even though they are about a different industry than I am in – the principle of each article always applies to all business including mine. So I just wanted to say thank you for the articles and the good business principles.

Thank you so much for this relevant information!! We are just going through some issues with payment and troublesome clients so I am so grateful for this information. As a first-time business owner, I have been struggling with accounting and contracting issues and I find the newsletter articles very helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful information.

I sat through Michaels classes at JLC Live in Portland more than once along with attending the two day class a few years back. I learned the stuff I never would have figured out on my own and we have put our company into profitable territory with a good projection of growth! I appreciate what you folks do and recommend the Markup and Profit book to all of the young tradesmen I know.

I would like to thank you so very much for being a fantastic, positive influence on me and my business. There is not a week that goes by that I don’t use a principle you taught us in your two day class or open your book for reference. The class and book have been a blessing to my career in the construction industry. Thank you, thank you thank you!

Just wanted to also say that Your teachings really have changed my business for the best. We are finally able to grow because we are making enough money to do so. I’m very glad I stopped listening to the idiots preaching the “industry standard” as far as markup and profit. Thanks again for all that you and your wife do.
