Making money is easy when you know how. The trouble is, sometimes we get busy and conveniently forget the ways to make money.The truth is that it’s not that complicated, it’s actually a very simple concept. In this podcast series we go through the 5 simple ways to make more money in your electrical business which are as follows: -weekly revenue exceeds weekly expenditure (ie profit / loss) -the jobs that are starting and finishing every week (ie “closed jobs”) are at a solid net profit -the jobs that are running over weeks + months(ie “open jobs”) are on their way to making a solid net profit -all paid hours are allocated to a job (ie “labour efficiency”)-all hours completed are effective + efficient (ie “quality of hours”) Sometimes it’s in the moments when we peel ourselves away from the mundane day to day grind where we can see how simple running a business really is. The goal? That revenue would consistently hit significantly above expenditure. Be kind. Repeat. May these words inspire you as you proceed on your journey of making money, building wealth + being kind. Much love, CroweSummaryIn this episode, Greg Crowe shares essential strategies for managing and maximizing profitability in electrical businesses.
