This book, and the accompanying course, are designed to be helpful in developing the right mindset and habits for achieving better project outcomes by addressing the first factor in the project lifecycle, the estimate.
Do you want better or more consistent project outcomes?
Everything I share has been battle tested. If I know anything that is of value, it is because it has been etched into my process by getting my teeth kicked in. Failure is the best teacher, if you are willing to learn from it.

The Target Audience for this book:
Early Feedback for this book
“Jon provides incredible insight, systems, processes, and accountability for running the estimating and administrative side of our business that is severely lacking in knowledge and expertise. A must read for current or aspiring estimators.” - Chad Brandt, WLS, Owner of PuroClean of Chandler (AZ)
"The content is detailed enough to be highly useful and informative, yet still simple enough that they’re easily understood and followed by a novice. This is yet another great resource of many more to come."- Randy Carley, National Response Supervisor (WA)
“Another unbelievable addition to the Be Intentional series from Mr Isaacson. It’s so refreshing to finally see all of this often-guarded information transcribed from an industry expert to words on a page. This book will surely help anyone who reads it!” - Josh Zolin, CEO Windy City Equipment, Author of Blue is the New White
- The aspiring professional who wants to advance in their career. This book will be helpful to you. But, if you are not committed to mastering your current role (DYOJO), you will struggle to climb any further than where you are now. You will see how the things you are doing now will prepare you for future responsibilities.
- Estimators and project managers who want to level up their abilities in estimating, claims negotiations, and project outcomes. This book covers a lot of what I have discussed in articles and two of my prior three books (Book 1 and 3). There is a good deal of new content as well, including deeper dives into some technical aspects of estimating.
- The new manager who has been thrown into a position without much training or direction. This book will be helpful to you in understanding some of the principles that go into creating clarity, consistency, and accountability for your team. All three of my prior books will be of use to you as you develop your leadership skills.
- The business owner who either needs some direction or another voice sharing these core principles. This book will be helpful to you and every member of your team as you build an interdependent organization. I am sure you will want to buy multiple copies so that you can hand them out like candy to every employee.
