You've found my business page! Maybe it's by clicking on a link in my email signature or somewhere else on the web. How exciting!

Here's what I do:

I work with businesses to standardize processes and create tools with software they already use. There are two goals. Either help them accomplish more or spend less time in the office.

I do this by speaking plainly and asking simple questions, and here's the key; I listen.

In the last five years I've worked mostly in construction and have learned to say what I actually mean instead of using jargon, though construction has its own. Ask any wood butcher.

The main software that I use is Microsoft Excel, most folks know how to enter data and use it, they just need a little help in having Excel do the heavy lifting. Entering data five times is never necessary.

Your business creates a lot of data, it's time you use it.

My Business Model

I work with people who I enjoy working with. I don't take every job. I've had clients who expect next day delivery with a boatload of changes, that usually doesn't work for either of us. For pricing there are a couple of ways to go about it.

Most people’s time is worth at least $100/hour, if the project will save 5 hours a week here's what I figure, 52*5*$100=$26,000 – this project is probably worth about $2,600.
