Greg's Cement Pondering

Observations and commentary from Greg Schmidt, Pro-Cite owner.
'O6 wrap up - Jan 2nd, 2007
Hmmm, what can I say nice about '06? Not a very exciting year. I've had better and I've had worse. Indeed. Business slowed compared to the record-breaking years of the recent past thanks to belt-tightening due to numerous factors. I've had people say to me that prices should be much lower due to the lower demand and increased competition, but what most don't realized is that material costs keep rising, offsetting any lowered profiting. In fact, my cement suppliers send me price increases just about every two months. So, I'm making less money each job by not raising my quotes. Good news for my customers and bad news for my daughter's inheritance. And speaking of my customers, they were fantastic this year. I certainly continue to get better at picking them. Thanks to all of them! I rarely make an annual plan for the business because things usually don't go as I think they will. I'm just not that brilliant enough, I suppose. I usually hope for the best, plan for the worse, and take what life throws at me. That way, the disappointments are at a minimum and I get to be surprised every once in a while! Sweet.
