Contracting is about a lot more than knowing how to do the work. 🏗️
You can be great at your trade and still struggle in business if you don’t learn how to win the right jobs, bid with confidence, protect your profit, manage cash flow, build systems, create a team, market yourself, and follow through.
That’s what this series is about.
These slides aren’t meant to teach you everything there is to know about running a construction company there’s a lot more to every one of these topics. But these are some of the fundamentals every contractor should understand, consider, and continue improving as their business grows.
A contractor has to learn to wear a lot of hats:
Get the opportunity.
Estimate it correctly.
Present value.
Win the job.
Protect the profit.
Manage the money.
Deliver great work.
Build relationships.
Create systems.
Develop people.
Build a reputation.
Then repeat.
And remember: getting your contractor license is not the finish line. It’s the starting line.
At Every Contractors Foundation, we want to help contractors understand not only how to become licensed, but how to think like business owners, become better leaders, and build companies that can create opportunities for themselves, their families, their employees, and their communities.
Save these slides and come back to them. Send them to another contractor who is trying to grow.
And keep following Every Contractors Foundation because we’re going to keep breaking these subjects down one by one. There is a lot more coming.
LICENSE. BUILD. LEAD. 🔵🟢
Build the business. Build the people. Build the legacy.
