## Resource

You walk onto a job that’s already sold, the deposit is in the bank, and your crew hits an unpredicted roadblock. Something was missed in the initial walkthrough. Do you eat the cost and call it "the price of doing business," or do you face the discomfort and write a change order? In this episode, Tim and Derek break down the internal friction contractors face when asking for more money. They talk about how avoiding a 10-minute awkward conversation can lead to a thousand tiny financial cuts by the end of the project. You’ll learn how to implement ongoing job costing, how daily team communication protects your margins, and how to spot honest project enhancements that give clients a better result while saving your bottom line. Stop leaving your profit on the table because you’d rather deal with the discomfort of losing money than the discomfort of speaking up. ============================================================ Level up your operation and stop running your business on fear.
