I am a licensed GC with a recently formed sole proprietorship. Reading this book gave critical insight on what I may expect going forward and how to deal with it. This was the only book I found that felt geared towards my specific situation. If you are a contractor or handyman; someone planning to work on peoples homes; I recommend you read this. For me, it really made me understand the importance of insurance in this industry. This wasn’t something I took seriously as a twenty-five year old man, but do now. There is so much more to offer if you read this book fully.

This book is kind of basic and doesn’t go into much detail of actually running day to day operations. Gives a good overall view if you are new. But if you’re looking for a deeper dive, you may want to consider another read.

I finished reading it. I needed few late nights to go through but the reading was smooth and interesting even I don't have in plan to become a contractor. It touches all the aspects a young guy would overlook when going head on into doing business and gives you just what you need to capture your attention. It is not a substitute for your home work nor the magic solution but it puts together a large list of things you need to know.I am glad Claudiu acknowledges his parents support and love. I am close enough to know how many white nights they had in fear for his adventurous endeavors and they deserve without doubt the titles of the most supportive parents in the world.

I’ve returned it because it’s for beginners and it’s about how to set your mind, I guess it’s good for someone who didn’t have any business before
