This morning the Carpenter and I met with the homeowner of a potential project, then the Carpenter was off for a meeting with our Lead Carpenter. I came from an organization that functioned on many meetings per week and they can get cumbersome and waste time. But I am glad when we can stop work and meet. Go-go-go heads down is certain to create disconnection between us and our crew. So meet on! and grab that warm cup of Joe from our favorite meeting spot!
We are also in the middle of new hire decisions in light of our potential spring/summer project load and the departure of our apprentice.
As we embark on a baby new year I am thinking about how to inject some fresh ideas and initiatives into Applewood. We have to continually keep abreast of current market trends, keep our social media perking along and keep improving business practices as well as maintaining our craftsmanship standards.
Top on my list is updating our website. I've had that on the back burner. I'm actually pretty happy with our site, I just want our blog to have more of a home page presence, a more updated fast viewing photo gallery and also be multiple device compatible- viewing well on phones, iPads, notebooks etc.
I'm contemplating taking the Snack Manager for a walk… we might be able to get a block or two in. I just checked… it's still -1. The joy of living in Minnesota!
