A good recap to always remember to have a plan, have a back up plan and expect things to go wrong so be ready. The main thing I took from the readings was that this is a buisness expenditure and the first rule of business is to make more money then you spend. So remember to plan accordingly and keep the bottom line low without compromising quality, which can be a difficult balance but is possible.
I also liked that the second reading placed negotiate as the number 3 in their list. We can often forget that all prices are not final and you can always attempt to get a lower quote, (they suggest 10-15% that regular price), it never hurts to ask. Also be firm in your negotiations they are a buisness as well and will want to do business in hopes of future transactions.
