Hey — welcome to Contractor Clarity. I'm Mike Turner. I've been a contractor for 14 years. Husband. Dad. And for most of those 14 years I spent my evenings at the kitchen table doing paperwork while my family was in the next room. Estimates. Follow-up emails. Invoice reminders. Review responses. Job agreements. All of it eating my nights. Two years ago I figured out a faster way. I started using AI to handle the words so I could focus on the work. Now I write a professional estimate in under 60 seconds. I handle bad Google reviews in 2 minutes. I get my evenings back most nights. This community is where I share everything I've figured out. Here's what you'll find inside Contractor Clarity: — Free prompts, shortcuts, and tools posted every week — Real examples from a working contractor, not a marketing guru — A community of tradespeople figuring this stuff out together — The Digital Toolbox course — 20 lessons, 20 copy-paste AI prompts built specifically for contractors No tech skills required. No expensive software. No fluff. Just practical tools that save you time on the stuff you didn't get into contracting to do. Glad you're here.
