Comments about Craftsman Markup & Profit: A Contractor's Guide:
I'm only 1/2 way through this book and can't put it down. Mostly common sense & smart thinking, I believe the best information I learned, after 30 years self employed, will help me charge my customers, as they do & would expect, for things I give away daily, and two, after 30 years in the trade, why shouldn't we be paid for our knowledge, trials & errors as a doctor or lawyer feel they deserve with less experience. Back to my book, see ya!
