Stop running your trade business off the back of a napkin.
Free calculators and systems built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and pest control owners. You're great at the trade — these fix the business side.
You're good at the work. The business side is where the money leaks.
You guess on pricing
You quote from gut feel instead of real costs — and find out too late you barely broke even, or lost money.
Cash flow is a mystery
Money in, money out, busy every week — yet somehow nothing is left at the end of the month.
Hiring is chaos
Every new hire is a gamble. No checklist, no onboarding, no way to get people up to speed fast.
Your "system" is a mess
Sticky notes, random spreadsheets, stuff in your head. Nothing talks to anything else.
You don't know your numbers
Profit margin per job? Close rate? Acquisition cost? If you have to think about it — that's the problem.
You make every decision
Everything runs through you because there's no documented process for anyone else to follow.
