About this episode

The episode discusses the financial aspects of running a contracting business and strategies for profitability.

Check out BATTLEGROUND: https://thecontractorfight.com/battleground Tim and Derek get into the real numbers behind running a profitable contracting business, why most owners have no idea what their overhead actually costs them, and how that blind spot kills their confidence at the table. They share the $5,000 retainer move that locked in a $35,000 job, why scheduling for profit beats scheduling by calendar, and the uncomfortable client conversation that turned a $7,000 mistake into a $23,000 opportunity. If you don't know your numbers, you're not running a business. You're guessing. Ready to grow to a couple million in revenue with higher profits? Book a call here.
