During the low season I really have to work at motivating myself to achieve more than what I "feel" like doing.

I love what I do and am so thankful for the business I've worked so hard to build. I set out, from it's very inception, to grow a business that will carry itself through generations. This takes an unrelenting vision and lots of action.

Sometimes, it's the perseverance that knocks me down. So, I work on my state of mind and keep taking the necessary steps.

Some of you that have seasonal work, what do you do to keep yourselves going?

Take some time to do your thing this weekend. For me, it's spending some time in the outdoors. I love it. It rejuvenates my soul!

I love the world of construction. I am often humbled as I drive around the city and see the many homes that we've contributed to with exterior renovations. My heart is grateful for our trusted clients.

I have learned from each project. I've grown as we've problem-solved with my crews, when obstacles surfaced. Each project has been a teacher. Again, I am humbled they chose me. They saw I was ready.

What about this house takes your breath away?

I love the tasteful contrast of materials and colour! Sometimes you just have to take the risk. I get how hard it can be to drastically modernize your home. Often times we cant visualize it.

I get it and we're here to help. Pop on over to our webpage in the bio above and read about what our estimates include.

Have you ever been stuck in traffic?

Picture the scenario. The roads are under construction, you're running late to your next meeting, and life just doesn't seem to be going your way.

At that point in life, the whole construction site, detours that must be made, and aggravating traffic just seem and feel like a great inconvenience and unnecessary evil.

But once that construction, that made life seem miserable, is done you understand that the inconvenience of the short term was not as bad because now you have a smooth and wider road and you're reaping the benefits!

This is how the road to success is. Sometimes we just need to put up with the short-term inconveniences to have a better highway for the trip!!

I invite you to visit our home page! It took me a while to learn how to create this website but I did it. As a matter of fact, I can even teach others how to do this for themselves and save a lot of money in the process.

Would love to hear your input. Please feel free to browse and send me your input!

I've spent the holiday season pretty much on my own this year. I've had so much time to rest, relax and reflect.

I am so thankful for life and the opportunities, challenges and gifts it offers. So very excited for what's to come this year.

What I learned the most: Consistency is so important. This is my greatest challenge for the coming year!!

What's the number one thing you've learned this year? Please share.

Safety first. I own Safe + Sound Exteriors. We are a company that is dedicated to our vision, "Creating Longevity One Home Ar A Time".

One of my goals for the company concerned developing a safety program to ensure all my teams were safe on the job. Last year, we became COR Certified with the Saskatchewan Safety Association. They keep us accountable to safety procedures.

Just last month we had to do an internal company audit and yesterday we turned all our paperwork in. It's about making sure that as the new season approaches everything is in order so that our teams return safely to their loved ones, and so that our clients know that we take everything we do consciensciously.

I struggled in high school. Only recently did I find out that was mostly due to ADHD. I could easily blame it on that, but fact is, I found it boring and often times useless. I managed to graduate and then started my journey of trying to find a job. Again, I struggled to keep a job.

One important thing I realized after high school and during a few years following was that I did need an education, just not the typical kind of education. I tried to do post secondary for a semester but that failed.

So, I began to self-educate because I knew I needed to. I've always had an inquisitive mind but I never thought of myself as an intellect. Little did I know that in the process I've become a life-long learner. It's one of my highest values and I live by it.

Up until I was 20 years old I had only read only one book in my life. Today, I can't begin to tell you how many books I read in a single week. It's my life line. I read and self-educate because it builds me as a person, as a leader, as a friend, as a human being.

What books are you reading?

We have a responsibility to stay ahead of the game during the low season. I've been strategizing and getting things done in preparation for the Spring when our season begins.

Some homeowners wait till the Spring to get started on dreaming about their exterior home renovations. There is no need to wait. We are ready to get your estimates done and ready so that once the snow starts to melt we can get on your project! Contact us.

I used to think always about reaching success, then, I realized that success comes in many forms, and, through a variety of "wins" and "losses". Once you think you've reached it you realize you've just gone over a hump and there is still more to do and so much more you must become for the next success.

So you keep learning, transforming, counting your cost and moving forward. It doesnt end. There is a bitter sweet taste to it.

What has been your experience?
