Check it out.
Contractor gross profit, summed up, is this: You land a $1,000 job, you spend $500 to do the work, then you’ve got $500 left – that $500 left is your gross profit. After you produce the work, pay the guys their hourly wages and work comp, pay for materials – what’s left is called ‘gross profit,’ and gross profit is what you pay your overhead with.
We wanna shoot for a 50% gross profit for all our work, and there’s a few reasons why we wanna do that. I’m gonna share those in this post.
So, why is it important to get a 50% gross profit?
1. It’s low-hanging fruit.
It is literally the fastest way that you can make money and capture profit. There’s a lot of profit sitting there, just waiting for you.
Back when I started, I was getting about a 32% gross profit – out of every $1,000 coming in, I had $320 left to pay the overhead, which was not enough. After one year of focusing on gross profit specifically, it jumped up to more than 50%. Easy profits.
It’s low-hanging fruit for you and your business that you need to focus on.
2. It’s only right.
You deserve the money. So much of what we talk about here is based around contractors fighting for the value that they’re worth. Don’t short-sell yourself, don’t short-change yourself. You’re going out there and investing thousands of dollars in tools, equipment, and training; you have years of experience, you’re delivering a great finished product for people – you deserve to be well-compensated for that. It’s very hard to be well-compensated when you’re not getting a 50% or better gross profit.
3. Less jobs / less leads.
When you have a higher gross profit, you actually need to do less jobs and get less leads each year to hit your breakeven and profit goals. You’re going to need more leads and more sales to continue to feed your overhead, so less of those is what keeps that amount of money in control.
4. You need it for overhead.
It’s expensive to run a contracting company. There are a lot of things that happen, and plenty of things to pay for. There’s insurance, phones, your shop, your office manager, marketing expenses, and all these other things that add up. The higher your gross profit, the easier it’s gonna be to recover your overhead, pay off all these things, and still have a net profit.
5. A better experience.
When you have a higher gross profit on your jobs, when you know that you’re keeping 50% or better, you can slow down and make it a better experience for the client. In turn, they’re gonna say nice things about you and refer you to their friends and colleagues, and it’s gonna continue to feed your business. Providing an amazing experience is more important than the deck you built or the paint job you completed. Trust me on this.
These are just five quick reasons why a 50% gross profit is important. Having a 50% gross profit or higher is the fastest way for your business to make more money – and that, along with great work, is what we all want at the end of the day. These tips can help you get it!

In an industry focused on landing big contracts, Anthony's choice to refund a substantial deposit to a client might seem surprising. However, it was a deliberate move to safeguard his company's integrity and team morale.
This isn't just about rejecting money. It's about establishing boundaries and grasping the real cost of business relationships. Anthony spotted early signs of a potentially troublesome partnership. He understood that certain clients, no matter their budget, could deplete resources, energy, and enthusiasm from his business.
The bravery to decline a lucrative deal in favor of preserving a positive work environment is uncommon. It challenges the notion that more money always leads to success. Anthony's experience serves as a potent reminder that not all money is beneficial.
His decision highlights a crucial lesson for entrepreneurs: recognize your value, know your limits, and don't hesitate to walk away from opportunities that don't align with your principles.

Rebranding isn't just a superficial change like updating your logo or website. It's about aligning your brand's core identity with its vision, values, and the ever-changing market landscape.
Why should you consider it?
- Your brand isn't standing out anymore.
- Your business has outgrown its current brand image.
- The market has shifted, and your brand needs to adapt.
- You're not attracting your ideal clients anymore.
Take Apple, for example. In the late '90s, they were struggling. But a strategic rebrand focused on innovation and design turned their fortunes around.
However, rebranding isn't without its risks. It's about balancing continuity with innovation. Done right, it opens up new possibilities; done wrong, it can alienate your loyal customers.
So, ask yourself:
- Does our brand reflect who we are today?
- Is it resonating with our target audience?
- Are we truly differentiated in the market?
If you hesitated on any of these questions, it might be time to consider a rebranding journey.

Imagine driving a car but refusing to turn the wheel. Sounds absurd, right? That's what having a fixed mindset in business is like. Here's why it's a roadblock to success.
1. **Innovation Stagnates**
With a fixed mindset, the phrase 'This is how we've always done it' becomes a mantra. But in a world where technology evolves by the minute, standing still is akin to moving backward. Companies that don't innovate, eventually fade into obscurity.
2. **Talent Wastes Away**
People with fixed mindsets often overlook growth opportunities, believing skills are innate rather than developed. This not only limits their potential but also demotivates ambitious employees, leading to a talent drain no business can afford.
3. **Failure Becomes a Foe**
Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a stepping stone towards it. A fixed mindset turns these valuable learning opportunities into dead-ends, fostering a culture of fear and aversion to risk. Without risk, there can be no reward.
The world of business is not for the static. It's for the agile, the dynamic, and those willing to pivot.
Ready to shift gears? Let's discuss how cultivating a growth mindset can drive your business forward.

Silent genius is a myth.
Imagine crafting a masterpiece, hidden away in a vault. No eyes to see it, no hearts to feel it. Your talent, your hard work - invisible.
You're not the best at what you do unless the world knows you exist.
It's a harsh truth in our hyper-connected world. Being amazing at what you do is only half the journey. The other half? Making sure people know you're amazing.
Building your brand isn't vanity. It's necessity.
Without visibility, your skills whisper in a void. Without consistent leads, your brilliance shadows in obscurity.
Here's the deal:
- Share your successes, no matter how small.
- Connect with your peers. Engage, don't just exist.
- Be relentless in your pursuit of visibility.
Your brilliance deserves an audience. Your skills demand a stage.
Make your presence known.
