Principais Lições
From Skilled Tradesperson to Profitable Business Owner
You're a master at your craft. Your customers love your work. You're booked months in advance. Yet somehow, the money keeps slipping through your fingers. Sound familiar? This paradox plagues countless contractors who find themselves trapped in what Shawn Van Dyke calls "the craftsman cycle" - perpetually busy yet broke. The journey typically starts innocently: a skilled tradesperson takes side jobs, prices them based on current wages plus a little extra, and eventually leaps into full-time business ownership. Despite growing revenue, money disappears quickly on employees, materials, and overhead. Soon you're living project-to-project, mistaking being busy for being profitable, when in reality, each underpriced job pushes you further from financial stability. The traditional accounting formula (Sales - Expenses = Profit) fuels this cycle by treating profit as an afterthought. It goes against human nature (we spend what's available), prioritizes top-line growth over profitability, and requires complex accounting knowledge most contractors don't have time to master. What if there was a simpler way? A system that works with natural behaviors, instantly reveals business health, and clearly shows what can be spent versus what must be reserved?
