Fluke 117. LoZ mode is a game changer for troubleshooting.

@Tod Craig we do commercial and industrial and it's both new construction and service. I have built my own tools using Monday.com for project management, field coordination and information sharing, scheduling, cost tracking and projection, timekeeping, rate calculation, and I'm about to create another for sales. It works well but it takes time to build the product to suit your needs.

I look at my P&L weekly! I like hearing how other electricians like to think about it. Thanks Tod

@Tod Craig ensuring transactions are correctly logged in the Chart of Accounts so they show up where they should. Shoot for 50% GP and 30% net. Track overhead percentage.

Couple of things I have learned: Never pay attention to your emotions when bidding. You'll talk yourself into lowering your price every time. Most customers don't care about price as much as you think. We aren't car dealers with salesmen on every corner. It's way more important to avoid the one bad job than to get all the good jobs.
