Hooray! It’s budget season. If you’re like most contractors,
you’re working on next year’s budget right now. You’ve probably
pulled your last three years’ sales numbers for review. You’re
making educated assumptions about what your market will look like in
2010, based on the best information you can gather and how that
information will affect your financial performance. You’re probably
estimating which product lines will grow and which ones will shrink.
This is all really critical to the health and success of your business
next year, but it’s only as good as what I call the “HVAC
Performance Bridge.”

"Hola!”
“Hola. ¿Qué tal?”
“Bien. ¿ y tu?”
“Bien.”
Paul and I were sixteen years old and had taken highschool Spanish
for a year. We called each other every night on the phone and spoke to
each other in our new language. More than anything we wanted to test our
skill with a real Spanish speaking person, but we did not know any.
Then we got the idea to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant. For two
boys who had never dined out without their parents, this was a big
adventure. We were so motivated that when we made reservations, we
asked to be seated with a waiter who could not speak English.
