An Amazon for construction? Powering change in construction procurement through e-commerce
So what do you think?
I kind of, almost, sorta just felt like giving up on the whole thing and that’s just not something I would normally do, like, ever..So we decided to get on another phone call and talk the whole thing out like civilized people instead of emailing politely back and forth while I secretly had a mini panic attack every five minutes thinking about this whole thing.
I was actually looking forward to the call.I was thinking that surely they must have some kind of amazingly brilliant explanation for why we shouldn’t make my book beautiful and photo-filled, and as soon as I heard it, I would completely understand.But of course, that was not the case.
Why is it that these phone calls always catch me so off guard?.It turns out that the only real thinking was that there had been another book, also about cleaning, that was in that same smaller format and it didn’t have pictures, and it was available at that lower price point and it had done quite well, so they were really just toying with the idea that maybe that was what readers would respond well to.
And also they were thinking “How do you really.
cleaning and homekeeping techniques in a photo anyway?” For some reason that last thought really struck a nerve with me, maybe because that’s what I. do.It’s always so much more work than you ever thought it would be, and of course, it’s almost always a really expensive project.
When you renovate a bathroom, you definitely gain an appreciation for all of these simple conveniences like running water, that we’re so used to taking for granted, but you also always start to become really aware of every penny that you spend.Those pennies can add up fast, especially if you’re trying to build your dream bathroom like we were!
This all amounts to a whole lot of pressure to make every single decision absolutely perfect.After all, if you’re spending all of this dough, you want some pretty fantastic results, right?
