Scott Monday's Blog. The destination for growing your home improvement business. February 1, 2015. Back in October I wrote about 2015. And the fact that it most certainly would require our team to brace for impact. In no time it started coming true. Nothing has been sacred on our journey, and we’ve been questioning everything.

Scott Monday's Blog. The destination for growing your home improvement business. July 5, 2015. If you follow this blog you’ll notice quite a few recent posts about business. It’s been an intense past year in that regard, as if we’re encountering more tough decisions, unusual challenges and unique opportunities in a year than other companies do in a decade. Perhaps it’s just a season, or maybe it’s because we don’t really know what we’re doing. (Do any of us? Either way there’s rarely a dull moment. This ...
