Most business owners have sat through a strategy session that felt productive in the room and changed nothing back at the office.

Most contractors who track their gross margin are still getting it wrong. Not because they are doing anything dishonest. Because the way their accounting is set up does not match the economic reality of their business.
In this episode Steve walks through exactly how this happens, which costs are consistently misclassified and why it matters way beyond just the margin number itself. If your gross margin is wrong, your bids are wrong, your strategy is wrong, and your cashflow problems make a lot more sense.
