Summary:
You’ve been lied to. You’re not in business to make money, you’re in business to keep money. I walk through the biggest profit leaks I see in contracting: rework, estimating errors, material waste, labor inefficiency, and poor billing. This episode is about protecting margins, not chasing revenue.
What’s in this episode:
00:00 Why more revenue feels like less money
02:20 Where profit actually disappears
05:10 Rework, estimating, and material waste
09:10 Labor efficiency and schedule drift
12:00 Cash flow vs real profit
15:30 Deposits, milestones, and job costing
