The 5 Profit Moves Contractors Need to Make This Week

If you’re slammed with work but your bank account still looks broke… you’ve got a profit leak, not a lead problem.

Here’s what’s usually happening:

You’re not job costing, so you don’t see margin bleeding until tax time
You’re marking up wrong (markup ≠ margin)
You’re letting change orders slide (then “hoping” you get paid later)
You’re billing too late and floating the job with your own cash
You’re winning too many jobs… because you’re pricing too low

3 Profit Rules to start using THIS week:

✅ Quote for a real margin (stop guessing)

✅ Bill change orders immediately (and price them higher)

✅ Review job profit weekly (15–45 min… non-negotiable)

If you want to stop running your business blind and actually keep money after jobs… comment “PROFIT” and I’ll send you the job costing tool + the margin rule checklist. 👇
