Many owners assume profitable margins come from more jobs or higher prices, but that is rarely the real case. In this episode, I break down how profitable margins are usually lost through small, fixable problems inside your daily operations. I share real examples from home service businesses that looked successful on the outside but struggled on the inside. They weren't able to keep cash around because they were missing the information to see where it was all going. When Sneaky Leaky quietly drains margin through everyday decisions, working harder does not fix it. This episode walks through practical ways to protect your margins without burning out your team or raising prices.
