Why most plumbers stay broke 👇
It’s not because there’s no work.
It’s not because the trade doesn’t pay.
It’s usually because of these mistakes:
đź’¸ Undercharging
Being busy doesn’t mean you’re profitable. Cheap prices keep you stuck.
📉 No control over numbers
Not knowing your costs, margins, or tax bill = working blind.
⏱️ Trading time for money only
No systems, no repeat clients, no structure — just job to job.
📱 Ignoring marketing & reputation
The best plumbers don’t rely on luck. They build visibility and trust.
🧾 Poor systems
No proper quoting, no follow-ups, no software — everything takes longer than it should.
🤯 Trying to do everything yourself
Burnout kills progress. Delegation and systems change everything.
Plumbing can pay very well — but only if you treat it like a business, not just a job.
