It’s a working session.If your business feels reactive when things get busy, this episode shows you exactly what to do next.We focus on three key areas that determine whether busy season builds your business or breaks it:1. Visibility You cannot control what you cannot see. Marc walks through a 10-minute visibility audit so you can quickly assess live jobs, projected margins, current costs, cash in the bank, cash due in, and cash due out.2. Non-negotiable standards Busy season doesn’t destroy businesses, compromised standards do.
