Is Your Business Model Profitable? You Can’t Save a Broken Model
Some contractors work harder than anyone — but still struggle. Why? Because their business model isn’t set up to generate real profit.
If your prices are low, your jobs are small, and your volume is inconsistent… no amount of hustle will fix it.
At some point, you have to ask: Are the types of jobs I’m chasing even capable of delivering the income I want?
Maybe it’s time to shift to higher-margin work. Maybe it’s time to stop doing small “favors” for clients who don’t value your expertise. Maybe you need to restructure your crews or job flow to focus on profitability instead of just staying busy.
Don’t try to grow something broken. Fix the foundation first.
Real World Mistake & Lesson:
A concrete contractor took on any job that came his way. Great volume, but low margin and constant chaos. Once we analyzed the profit per job type, we dropped the bottom 25% and focused on commercial pours. He now works fewer jobs with fewer crews — and earns more.
