Brian Kaskavalciyan says contractors stay broke because they do everything themselves. He suggests listing yesterday's tasks, circling the three only you should do, and delegating the rest. When you're not the bottleneck, the business can actually grow.
The biggest reason contractors stay broke is they refuse to fire themselves. You estimate, you sell, you manage installs, you answer phones, and then you wonder why the business won't grow. It's not because you're lazy. It's because you're doing everything every day. You refuse to replace yourself. You cap the business at your energy level. Write down everything you did yesterday. Circle the 3 things only you should do. Everything else needs an owner, not your time. The less the business needs you, the more valuable it becomes.
