Erina and Mitch break down a simple truth most trade businesses miss: profit is often made in the last 3 to 5 days of the month. When margins are tight, small time blowouts on jobs add up fast.

Lose 10 to 20% efficiency across your team and your month can flip from profit to stress, even if your hourly rate or job pricing looks “right” on paper.

You’ll hear why putting your prices up isn’t always the answer, and how time management and job timing can be the real lever. They talk through a practical example of quoting 60 minutes, but the job regularly taking 63, 66, or more. That small gap becomes your profit margin, especially when your team isn’t as fast as you are.


We’ve got the tools you need to scale your business, automate, hire, and delegate.⁠ ⁠Book your call⁠⁠ with our team to talk strategy and learn more about our program.
