If you happen to be superstitious, 2013 may be of concern for your life and your business. There’s a wise, old saying: “Together we can do it!” I highly recommend joining forces with as many other contractors as possible. You may not be able to bid, individually, on multimillion dollar projects, but together, you can do it.
You should already be active in your local trade associations. Even if you aren’t a member, you are welcome to attend local meetings and conventions. These are competitors who join forces to help each other, adding power and recognition to themselves as well as our industry. Every time you help someone else, you help yourself, too.
