10 Uncomfortable Money Questions That Reveal Your True Business Profitability

from Profitable Home Services Podcast · host Diane Gardner

I want to talk about how to find hidden profit in a service business, because most owners are asking the wrong question. They ask how to get busier instead of asking why the busy months still leave the bank account looking thin. In this episode, I walk through 10 questions business owners avoid asking themselves. Every single one has a hidden profit leak sitting behind it. We cover why more revenue is not more profit, what your labor really costs you, and why cash disappears in my business even in a good month. I also get into home service labor costs and contractor pricing for profit, two of the spots where I see owners lose the most money without realizing it. What You'll Learn: Why more revenue is not more profit in a home service business How to know if you are actually charging enough for the work you do What your team really costs you once you calculate the full number Why busy crews can still be losing you money every single day Why cash disappears in my business even when the P&L looks good The real cost of keeping your doors open each month What happens to your business if you disappear for thirty days Key Moments: 6:45 Why More Revenue Is Not More Profit 17:45 The Question That Exposes Money-Losing Jobs 20:20 What Your Team Really Costs You 28:16 Why Cash Disappears Even When The P&L Looks Good 33:10 The Real Cost Of Keeping The Doors Open 35:38 Why Customer Follow-Up Is A Profit Leak 41:31 What Happens If You Disappear For A Month Home service business profitability starts with asking these questions before they cost you more. If one of them made you uncomfortable while you listened, that is usually the one I would start with. 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://profitablehomeservices.com/ 🤝 Connect with Diane at https://taxcoach4you.com   ACCESS SOME FREE RESOURCES TO BOOST YOUR PROFITS  🎫 HIDDEN PROFIT WORKSHOP How To Add Another $160,000 In Profit To Your Home Service Business Without Selling More  Register here https://go.profitcoach4you.com/workshop   Profit Impact Call ☎️ Let me find $45k in hidden profit leaks in your home service business in 45 minutes during a Profit Impact Call.  https://taxcoach4you.com/profitimpactcall/
