About the authors
Tanya Davis Logan knew she wanted to be a writer by the time she went to first grade. Back then, she didn't have enough of a story to tell. Now, it's different. From real estate development to Christian living to pet birds, you'll find her writing about all her passions.
Tanya's secret is great research and lots of experts in her Tribe. She strives to give the details in a friendly voice that relates to everybody. And as she always states, "There's no substitute for first-hand experience."
Look for more on parrots and finches in 2020. Oh, and maybe a few fiction books too -- under psuedonyms? Maybe.

How to Open and Operate a Financially Successful Construction Company, is a practical step by step guide, tells you everything you need to know when getting started. The book is filled with personal accounts from construction company owners as they began their new business. It is definitely worth the time and money. I am so glad that I sat down and gave it a shot. Written by people that have already become successful, it has practical advice to help make the job more profitable. It is easy to read and understand. The book lays everything out step by step from hiring & firing, to bidding on a job and includes all of the forms and documents necessary to do it all. It has taken the business side of construction and made it manageable. Truly an enjoyable book!
You know the industry in and out and you know it is profitable. You have finally decided to start your own construction business so that you can be in control and truly excel at what you do best. First thing you need to do is learn a little about what you are getting into. You understand construction and permits, but do you understand accounting and marketing?
This book covers topics in these areas and more. With chapters devoted to each aspect of a construction business individually you get a greater understanding of what's ahead. The book includes many samples of the forms and contracts it discusses to help ensure a thorough understanding. It is even packed with resources to help you get started and maintain your business with direct contact information. It is written in a simple to understand layout with detailed explanations for things that may be unfamiliar.
Although this book is geared towards owning and operating a successful construction business I would recommend it to anyone working in the industry. It has everything you need packed into one book, right at your fingertips. My overall rating is 5 stars.
