The Dumb Mistake That Nearly Broke My Business
This one hurts to admit — but it’s real. I scaled my service and construction company FAST. Great product, great customers, great demand. But under the surface? I was bleeding money, missing 20–25% of billable work, and running dangerously close to collapse.
In this video, I explain how hiring a real controller completely exposed the chaos I had built behind the scenes. From unconverted estimates, ignored retainage, and thousands in lost service invoices — to public work contracts left unbilled — I lay out how I almost broke my business with my own success.
If you're in the trades, plumbing, HVAC, or construction and you think you're too busy to fix the backend… you’re not busy, you’re in danger. This is the wake-up call video I wish someone made for me.
