Take a Break!




The Explanation

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re someone connected to the construction industry. We know that because we’ve spent several years building a library of blog posts geared for the guys and gals who contribute in one way or another to the building of America. And many of them find their way to this blog when searching for construction accounting information.


We offer tips, practical solutions, and up-to-date information concerning running a well-organized and profitable construction company.


But once in a while, we suggest that construction leaders take a short break from the hard stuff and concentrate on the goofy stuff. And it seemed the first week in January of the New Year would be an excellent time for that break.
