From the Desk
Red Dirt Sidekick Publications
I write three newsletters about running a small business in Oklahoma. No fluff, no funnels, just what I'm actually seeing from my desk. Pick whichever ones sound useful.
Handled.
Monthly
The flagship. Once a month I write about what running a small business in Oklahoma really looks like from the inside — the paperwork, the permits, the invoices, and the things nobody warns you about until you're in them. It's written from my desk, in my own voice, for people doing the same thing I am.
Loose Ends.
Weekly - Mondays
The small stuff that eats your week. One practical fix every Monday — email folders that actually work, text shortcuts, file naming that lets you find things a year later, invoice tracking, job photos, cloud backup. Ten minutes to read, ten minutes to do, and it stays done.
The Paper Trail.
Weekly - Fridays
The documents that quietly protect your business — explained in plain English. Contractor agreements, scope of work, certificates of insurance, W-9 recordkeeping, change orders, lien waivers. One document a week, what it does, why you want it, and what happens when you don't have it. No legalese, no scare tactics.
