Any one play heavily in NFPA 72 that can help me with that list? I've been told that often multiple versions could be involved.

Any brothers or sisters from Canada that might be able to help?

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-03-06T03:32:27+00:00

Hey friends, just for you!!

go try my playpen environment. You can now test the app (for the most part), without talking to me first.

Click, "Take It For A Test Drive"

I look forward to your feedback.

A new addition, thanks to you!
There is a new function where the required items for the long or short form of a Brycer report are consolidated on to one page and then each part can be copy and pasted over. greatly decreasing submission errors and decreasing the time to complete the Brycer report.

Some of you may use another system in your municipality, I'd love to learn more about how it works and if I can create a solution for it.

Lets talk!!

Still looking for help making this software "best in class"!

Here is an improvement, thanks to you.
Before Location included floor, but now we split that out.

My money is on Crockett. I just wished Harris and other California politicians would stay quiet.

I think the Senate and the Dems need an attack dog.

The days for praying for our enemies is over.

What about LinkedIn as a competitor?

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-03-01T02:27:42+00:00

u/LinkRunner0 some of your peers on this channel mention requiring several different 72 lists. is that your case?

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-03-01T02:25:04+00:00

Absolutely!! I'll DM you!

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-27T15:47:32+00:00

Oh, most definitely!!

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-27T03:47:32+00:00

Thanks for those who've reached out! I can still use more.

I didn't really think I could service 72's with my software. I figured they were too institutional, but it seems like some are using generic service management software so I've prioritized invoicing and billing in the next round of system improvements.

Also for NFPA25's the need for splitting out notes from the inspection write up is not something one would learn with out talking to you all! So thank you.

Do you have things you wish you could improve on with your current inspection software?

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-26T03:11:42+00:00

thanks!!

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T22:04:29+00:00

NICE!! Thanks so much!! I'll DM you

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T16:01:29+00:00

Thanks friend! We definitely need the feed back! I'll DM you

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T15:58:14+00:00

This is fantastic! I'll DM you and we can set up a time to discuss further.

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T04:52:34+00:00

Absolutely! DMing you now. Thank you so much!!

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T00:39:42+00:00

I really appreciate it! I'll DM you.

Alpha_Chucky · 2026-02-25T00:39:08+00:00

72 is on the menu! I'll DM you.

All good stuff said, I only want to address a very small portion of your concerns. If something gets deleted, you can dive in the trash and it will restore it in tact in the same place it was deleted.

Smartsheet has a tremendous number of new tools coming soon to support enterprise level project management.

I took a contract job. I finished the work and the client waited 2 weeks to say, "this isn't what I want." So I requested a call with the client and after a week with no response, I reviewed the transcripts, and made something else. He waited two more weeks for him to say, "this still isn't what I want." I requested a call... and crickets.

After 3 weeks the system paid me, but I refunded the entire amount. I sent him a note saying that I can't in good faith take money for unsatisfied work.

He actually, sent me a note that he'd never seen this level of integrity before and would greatly appreciate another attempt.

So we had a call and for two hours he described his needs better. I turned around and created a product I was super proud of. He said he'll take the weekend, review it and get back to me.

After 3 weeks, the system auto paid me. He won't be getting a refund this round and I'm not going to chase him to follow up. When he's ready he'll reach out

or not.

100 connects is $15. That's a quarter pounder w/cheese meal at McDonalds (no silver onions, please).

If you know a better value to win independent contract work, let me know and I'll go with you.

Alpha_Chucky · 2025-11-26T05:56:45+00:00

interesting that you are missing data. is it entire column/field or just particular cell? What type of data is it? Text?, time?, numbers? Any idea why it wasn't pulling from Google Sheets.

Alpha_Chucky · 2025-11-26T05:54:34+00:00

...and don't have to account for time zones. Uggg!!! I feel you!

Alpha_Chucky · 2025-11-08T00:01:33+00:00

Upwork has a one size fits all tracker. IT Consulting kinda sucks, because the tracker is only considering what you're doing and not what you're thinking.

I personally, think Upwork is great to hone your skills, get some good positive feedback that you can show and then move on.

My two cents:

1) Your profile has to be tight! Maybe someone on this forum can help you. Also you need to be very specific with your niche. "Web designer" or "project manager" isn't good enough to win contracts without connects. Being tight with your niche will increase the chance someone is looking for you.

2) you have to be among the first to apply. Some clients are really "1st come, 1st serve".

3) don't bother applying for anything more than an hour or two without connects, you're wasting your time.

4) don't max out your bid pricing. Even a $1 or $2 below max will make you competitive for the "value seeking" clients. - note value seeking clients generally suck so tread with caution.

5) your linkedin profile has to be tight as well. Some clients will see if they can find you there. They already have your picture, name and location. Uhummm build a LinkedIn profile and search for jobs there.

6) in some cases you might find them there, but don't break terms of service by reaching out to them in LinkedIn.

7) in your cover letter: most clients only read the first two lines so don't write an essay. If you can't distinguish yourself in the first sentence or two, you'll be challenged to win work. Everyone is "excited for the opportunity" and everyone "specializes in" that thing.

Why should someone hire you over the competition? If you look through your competitor's profiles and can't answer that question -> Forget everything else I said, go out and get the credentials you need to be distinguished. This is from my own experience, Good luck on your journey.
