Braker's Rules for Contractors

By Roger Braker

The phone rings. "I need you to come look at a unit for a repair so I can take the quote to the loan closing." Me, "Our charge for looking at a unit is a set fee, and we need to be paid while we are there."Rule #1 - We Charge to "Look."I realized at that moment that I had a set of rules that I use to guide my business. I had just never thought of these principles as a set of rules, nor had I ever numbered them.Rules to guide you through life are not uncommon. Everyone needs a code or set of rules to live by or conduct their business with.An example of a rule of conduct: John Wayne in the movie, The Shootist, said, "I'll not be laid a hand on." Since his passing, his son has published a book called, John Wayne's Code. The Boy Scout oath is another example.On one of the TV shows the main character has his own list of rules, too. The ones I like the best are:* Never say you're sorry. It is a sign of weakness.* Never go anywhere without a knife.* Never, ever involve a lawyer.These rules are presented here as a good foundation for a young contractor to start from. I trust you will find them useful.
