Most contractors are low-key freaking out right now because they’ve got zero control over what’s coming next.

In this episode, Tom breaks down how living in uncertainty is bleeding your business dry — and how real numbers give you your backbone back. You’ll learn the only three things you actually control in this game: your cash, your inputs, and your standards.

Stop reacting to problems. Start leading your business like a professional.

Survival mode is over. It’s time to run this thing like you mean it.
