Are you trapped in The Craftsman Cycle®?

The Craftsman Cycle® is a common trap for business owners, one that starts slowly and gains momentum over time. It can be all-consuming, pulling you away from the important work of building and growing your business. Instead of being able to focus on the big picture, you find yourself bogged down in day-to-day tasks and unable to take your business to the next level. But with the right guidance and support, it’s possible to break free from this cycle and achieve long-term success. (See The Craftsman Cycle® diagram.)

You’re trapped if…

  • You’re busy. You’re booked for several months, but you don’t have any money.
  • You don’t pay yourself a salary.
  • You provide a lot of free work.
  • You’re guessing at your price instead of calculating your value.
  • You fear saying “no” to projects.
  • You’re always behind schedule.
  • You don’t understand the difference between markup & margin.
  • You don’t know how to read your Profit & Loss Statement.
  • Paying your taxes is a mystery.
  • Cash is tight.

With Profit First for Contractors in place, you know exactly where all the money is in your business and where it’s going.

Your construction business thrives.
