Welcome back to the second part of our podcast series, "Blueprint Your Company's Future." In this episode, we will delve into the implementation phase of the changes necessary for the long-term success of your business.

Whether you choose to work with us or go on this journey alone, we have a game plan to get you started. We will begin by dissecting the three fundamental areas we discussed in the previous episode: financial organization, company processes, and time management.

Once you have a solid grasp of these basics, it's time to move on to part two. This is where things get interesting. When we sit down with contractors who have made progress in the initial three areas, we've noticed a common pattern. Initially, there is resistance and hesitation to embrace certain aspects. However, as they push through and begin to implement these changes, they often come back with gratitude.

We want to stress that our intention is not to prove ourselves right, but rather to help you understand the importance of these three key factors. In this episode, we will reveal all three upfront and then provide a comprehensive breakdown of each one.

Join us as we guide you through the implementation phase of transforming your company for long-term success. We are here to support you and help you navigate the challenges that may arise along the way. Get ready to unlock the full potential of your business!

Are you struggling to determine the best way to structure how you pay your employees? Look no further than this week's episode of the Contractor Cuts podcast!

We know that deciding when to give your employees a raise can be a daunting task, especially when relying solely on personal feelings. That's why we're diving into the most fair and efficient pay structure, one that allows for quantifiable objectives to be met in order to increase pay.

But here's the kicker: setting up a pay structure for Producers versus Non-Producers can be a complex process. As a general contractor, it's crucial to differentiate between those who produce income for your company, such as project managers or laborers, and those who help your business run efficiently, like office managers or material runners.

Join us on the Contractor Cuts podcast as we explore the best practices for structuring employee pay and how it applies to your contracting business.

This week's episode of Contractor Cuts is one you don't want to miss. We'll be tackling the difficult topic of how to handle bad employees. As a contractor, you know that your team is your biggest asset, but what do you do when an employee is causing more harm than good?

In this episode, we'll explore the only two viable options available to you: firing them or spending time developing them. We understand that it can be tough to know which decision to make, which is why we've compiled a list of key attributes and situations to guide you.

We'll also discuss common reasons why employees may need to be fired, such as a lack of knowledge, ability, or a misunderstanding, and how these issues can often be corrected through a Corrective Action Meeting. However, if an employee shows apathy - a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern - towards their job, it's crucial to act quickly and let them go.

Tune in to Contractor Cuts to learn more about dealing with bad employees and how to ensure your team is always working at their best.
