Josh Downing is a 31-year-old general contractor who built a multimillion-dollar company in 2 years. How? By stumbling upon @Thumbtack, a platform that connects customers with professionals for any job they need done. While still working full-time, @jfdee signed up as a general contracting “pro” on Thumbtack. “I got lucky out of the gate and landed a $6,000 kitchen remodel… The rest is history.” Today, Downing runs his own construction business that employs 24 subcontractors and projects $5 million in sales for 2016. #MondayMotivation

Love Tradies
Pondering.
Gus was the engineer of a new project, and he promised the contractor that his team would strictly stick to schedule and finish the project on time. Having worked with Gus before, the contractor knew he was fond of making empty promises and wanted something more substantial.
“Trust me on this. We’ll get the job done on time.” Gus said, confident in his team. “In fact, if we miss our deadline, I’ll go to work every day afterwards completely naked. That’s how sure I am.”
It has been almost a week since the project deadline, and Gus arrived to work in just his boots, a hard hat, and nothing else, as he promised. He had no choice since the contractor brought up the promise almost every day. At first, he felt uncomfortable with all the construction workers looking at him and teasing him about his junk. But after a month of being nude, he finally got used to the staring, and sometimes even forgets to put on clothes even when he’s not going to work.
