Key Takeaways
Balance residential and commercial projects to ensure stable cash flow, as commercial jobs often have long payment cycles.
Thoroughly review all contracts, especially for commercial projects, to understand payment terms and avoid hidden clauses that could delay payments.
Maintain a financial buffer (e.g., $100,000 for 2-3 months of payroll) before taking on large commercial projects to cover expenses during payment delays.
Prioritize quality work and client satisfaction; word-of-mouth and consistent service can drive significant growth.
Build strong relationships and communicate effectively with partners, especially family members, as it is crucial for business strength.
Be selective about the jobs you take; avoid 'red numbers' projects where profit margins are too thin or clients expect unreasonably low prices.
Invest in developing a robust team, even if it means waiting for the right fit, as key roles like sales and project management directly impact brand and profitability.
