    A Bit of History

    A Bit of History

    This may sound crazy, but starting a side hustle can contribute massively to making life easier in your stone shop...I know, I know, that does sound crazy, but it may not be as crazy as you think, especially once you've listened to this episode.  
    In this episode, I share the story of how I started 3 side hustles...and none of them were on purpose.
    Then I share 2 extremely important thoughts on this for your consideration.
    Also for your consideration, consider supporting the Fab Lab Podcast by buying a No Lift Install System!
    www.noliftsystem.com
    Make sure you tune in next week, its going to be awesome, until then, Happy Fabricating!

    A Riff on an IDEA That Would Make the Stone Business Less Hard!

    A Riff on an IDEA That Would Make the Stone Business Less Hard!

    In this episode, I share an idea I was exploring prior to selling my stone shop...Its unconventional, its out of the box, its a "blue ocean strategy" if you will.
    I dont suggest you should consider implementing this idea in your own stone business.
    What I am suggesting is that you should be thinking outside the box!  You should be open minded to doing the unconventional in the interest of make your life easier and the work in your stone shop...less hard!
    Enjoy and Happy Fabricating!

Very Enjoyable

As a person who’s been in the stone Fab business for 16 year, it’s fun to listen to these tips, tricks, and ideas. Still looking for that time stamp in the Mark and Bill interview :-)).
