May 30, 2025 - Daily Recap

Sales Push and Calendar Panic
With May nearly behind me, the calendar for June and July is looking a little too empty for comfort. I threw myself into admin and sales follow-ups this morning, trying to stir up some bookings. Maybe I didn’t push hard enough — but the wheels are turning.

Solo Pickup Mission
By late morning, I headed to the warehouse and knocked out the only stop of the day: picking up tables and chairs from the empty house we delivered to earlier this week. Turns out it was for a birthday party.

• Job Revenue: $876
• Profit: $663 (75.71%)
• ARA Calculator Profit: $556 (63.46%) → Difference: -12.25%

Given it was a 24-mile, 40-minute drive, I expected the margin to be worse — but the rush fee and solo labor helped.

Warehouse Prep (Surprise Truck Tetris)
Back at the warehouse, I spent a few hours loading the truck and reorganizing gear. What I thought would be an easy prep session ended up filling the truck almost to capacity. So much for a light day!

Looking Ahead (And Paying Myself)
Notably, this is the last weekend I’ll work without weekend fees. For May, I scrapped those charges to hit my sales goal — but come June, it’s back to business as usual. Smiley face, indeed.

Until next time
