If the past five years has been crazy for your integration business, Scott Bourquin of
Rustic Creek LLC can relate.
So much so that he wrote a book about it.
The book is called "So Now What" and is available on
BuyBooksontheWeb.com for $16.95. His story is likely your story.
Like many integrators, Bourquin has been grappling with the ups and downs of the market and dealing with builders, electricians, homeowners, architects, etc. He says he has been a self-described "nutcase for the last year" due to all the turmoil related to trying to add a retail business as an add-on to his custom and consulting business. He says he has "gone sideways" for the past five or six years.
He tells stories of electricians catching houses on fire, working with unprofitable builders, managing cash flow and more.
The Abstract of the book says:
Have you ever looked around you and felt stuck? Are you trapped by your circumstances and can't seem to get anywhere? Are people getting promoted all around you? Why is it? What do they have that you don't? What is it that they are doing that you are not? How do people who are broke at 30 become millionaires at 40 and retire rich at 50? This book is here to help you re-write your life story into something better. So Now What are you going to do with your life?
It might be worth a Christmas gift for yourself.
