8 Steps
60 Days

Contracting isn't easy, and in my early days I made it much harder than it needed to be. But Josh's practical approach—and his proven track record—put simple but powerful concepts in the hands of construction owners. Concepts that, if put in place, will dramatically change the arc of your enterprise—and your life. As I read this book, I thought out loud (and also asked Josh): where were you in the mid-90s when I was struggling to get off the ground and gain altitude?!?! Reading this book and following its concepts is almost guaranteed to make you a more capable contractor.

Most contractors don't have a money problem. They have a visibility problem. Josh has built the rare book that fixes it the right way: not with a pep talk, but with a system. Eight steps, one monthly cadence, and a set of numbers you can actually hold your business to. Every chapter earns its place with a real contractor and a real result. If you want control and clarity over where your money goes, read this and then do what it says. The process works. Whether you show up for it is the only variable left.

I wasn't expecting a finance book to hit this close to home. What sets this book apart is that it doesn't stop at diagnosing the problem. Josh gives you real, usable solutions pulled straight from the field, not generic advice, but the kind of guidance that comes from someone who's actually been in the trenches with owners like us. I could barely put it down. It took me right back to when I was building my own crews, facing the same struggles so many of us face when we simply don't know what we don't know. This book doesn't just tell you what's broken; it gives you a way to fix it, regardless of whether you just started or have been doing this the same way for decades.
