Don't Finance the Job

Same $40,000 patio, same profit, same crew. One company never goes under. The other spends 10 weeks $28,000 under water on a job it's making money on.

Video coming

The sheets are ready now. The episode lands here the day it's up.

What this one covers

  1. 1

    The same patio drawn twice, week by week. Profit is a number about a period; cash is a fact about a day.

  2. 2

    What bad terms actually cost, and it isn't the interest. It's the jobs you can't take.

  3. 3

    Four fixes that are free, and the mistake that kills companies in a good year: a deposit is not income.

The sheets

This episode hasn't been recorded yet. The sheets go up here the same day it does.

Prices are mine. Yours are different. The math is the same.

Who made this

Ledge is landscape design-build software. These sheets are the thinking underneath it.

The sheet teaches the math once. Ledge carries it on every job after: the burdened hour, the man-hours the price bought, and what the crew actually did against it, side by side the day the truck is unloaded. The first ten landscape design-build firms run it free, and we make money only when your client pays you. If you want to see it on your own jobs, you talk to me.
