The Hardest Step In Growing A Contracting Company
Manage episode 519888226 series 3385001
We break down the toughest leap for contractors: moving from swinging a hammer to running projects with foresight, systems, and steady cash flow. We share a practical plan for calendars, crews, invoicing, and client updates that lowers stress and raises profit.
• delayed gratification as the new mindset
• calendar as the core tool three to six weeks out
• weekly rhythm with Tuesday and Friday anchors
• energy-based time blocking and audit habits
• the revenue math of leaving field labor
• onboarding and replacing new crews with standards
• pre-construction as paid risk prevention
• pay-as-you-go invoicing tied to progress
• sub pay based on scope completion, not need
• client communication cadence that scales
