Profit First for Contractors

Transform Your Construction Business From a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine

De: Shawn Van Dyke

Narrado por: Shawn Van Dyke

Construction industry business coach, speaker, and author, Shawn Van Dyke, has taken the core concepts of Mike Michalowicz's Profit First and customized them to address the specific needs of the construction industry. Profit First for Contractors addresses the major struggles contractors face and provides clear and actionable guidance on how to overcome them. Shawn shows contractors how to go from simply getting by to becoming permanently profitable. This audiobook is for every construction business owner who dreams of prosperity.

Using Van Dyke's Profit First for Contractors system, listeners will learn how to break out of the "craftsman cycle" - the seemingly never-ending loop of urgent tasks and responsibilities that keep contractors from gaining traction toward their important goals. He guides construction business owners how to understand their financial statements and how to use them to determine the markup and margin that lead to profits. You will also learn how to develop solid rules of thumb for the operation of your construction businesses, and how to implement an effective cash management plan that simplifies accounting and leverages normal human behavior. Using real-life stories from actual construction business owners, step-by-step advice, and his conversational twang, Van Dyke puts permanent profitability within reach of every construction business owner.

Thank you. I’m amazed

I can’t wait to recommend this book!!
Thank you so much for putting this book together for so many people around the world to learn!
I’m pumped! This has helped my business in a matter of one week, two weeks in and I can’t get enough!

Thanks,

Great concept & vision

The book is laced full of excellent information to help improve the situation for contractors and business owners. There is a ton of information to decipher and tricks to implement.

This book would be much better in the printed version vs audio book simply because of the formulas and “homework” throughout.

A must book for every contractor!

This is the most important book for a contractor. You need to make profit first! Or you will burn out and your doors will close.

This stuff works for real

Shawn lays out the simple process for how you WILL make a profit in your construction business.. Starting today (yep). Could not recommend this enough for anyone who's frustrated with the boom and bust cycle of making money and then watching it mysteriously disappear. Apply this book, change your life. Audiobook is easy to listen to with great stories and examples, plus Shawn's voice is like warm carmel running down a gradual snow crested mountainside.

thoughtful and applicable content

the book is really good describing technical aspects in order to improve the overall performance of the operations of the business. it highlights examples and case studies that are useful to understand the idea behind the procedure

the best book for contractor !!!

i loved this book and enjoyed all the stories in it and whole content i also see that this book has much more values than just profitability for you when you read !!
i don't know what to really write because i could write another book of compliements for this author and all the informations that are stored inside !! maybe this one sentence will describe it the best "this book should be called - BIBLE FOR CONTRACTOR " you have to read or listen to it or perhaps (like me) you need to do both if you are afraid that you will have trouble to understand it ! MUST HAVE IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL CONSTRUCTOR !!

A must read for any small contractor

The "Craftsmans Cycle" is a loop that you get in where you are working hard and turning over money, BUT NOT MAKING MONEY! That loop is alive and well and swallowing up contractors all over the country. THIS IS YOUR WAY OUT !!!

Worth the listen

This was a very informative book. Shawn understands contractors what what they need to run a successful business. Highly recommended if you are serious about running a thriving business.

Shocking!!!!

I was listening to the audible version of the book while I was driving and in the office and I was amazed that Shawn was hitting the nail on the head about everything I am experiencing in my businesses. I feel now that I have to change just about everything that I am doing. Really looking forward to starting. Buying the book now to really start digging in for a new start in 2020.

Just do it, start now, start taking your life back one step at a time!!!

Shawn’s book is a wonderfully specific Niche of the Profit First System.

I have been using profit first in my business for over a year and a half. In the first year I saved enough to pay a 3 year old tax debt over $10,000.

I see so many people around me having similar struggles. The pain can be reduced and eventually eliminated.

Start today, get the book in your favorite medium and start working towards becoming a happier business owner with a bank account to prove it!!!!
