How to Become a Successful Contractor

[@ib4ecoaching]

"Which side of the menu do you order from?" BOOM! That one phrase is priceless! Thanks, Tom.

[@vinniedeluca2188]

If you don’t have the min to comfortably order anything on the menu then your in the wrong restaurant

Amigo, mucho appreciation for your vids. Been apprenticeing under a general contractor for 2 years, learning a wide swath of stuff. Light bulb turned on last week, decided I like doing tile, it appeals to my brain more than any of the other work and I think I could get good at it. "Why don't I go into this for myself, like our plumber?" Been watching your stuff since then. Dig it. Thanks.

[@jeffalan6339]

The restirants I can afford right now have reader boards not menus Life can suck at times this is one of them.Operate in a cliquish town, and lot of competition .

[@enriquecastillo986]

That improb video was the best one out of all the ones Ive seen . Fucking DO

[@patrickcampbell7354]

Tom, help! I'm turning 41 next month, been a building contractor for 2 years, I'm not a people person and figured out I don't like dealing with clients (bad experience with 2nd big build) I want to build/sell 5 or 6 specs a year but I now have 2 kids in college, my credits maxed and im killing myself 6-7 days a week. How do I get funding to get off this small job, month to month merry-go-round?

[@fabianortiz1712]

I’d like to make as much as humanly possible

[@H00kemj0]

Okay

[@RCRidgecrestQuality]

If I am a GC building luxury homes, should I also be charging 50%? So if I build a $2M home (no profit factored in), I should charge $4M to the client?

[@nickhodgen]

50% factored into 2m should come to 3m, I believe.

[@CloneDanMan]

Nick Hodge lol. He’s the contractor that the host talks about bankrupt. Basic fucking math. No excuse

[@RCRidgecrestQuality]

@@CloneDanMan I am referring to margin, not markup. The host also talks about margin by saying take your job cost, double it, and charge that number. I'd read a little more before saying what you just said...

[@RCRidgecrestQuality]

@@nickhodgen I am referring to margin. A 50% margin on a $2M project would cost the client $4M. A 100% markup on a $2M job would be $4M for the client. You would be correct if I was talking about markup but I am not. The host talks about margin.

[@CloneDanMan]

RC_Ridgecrest I wasn’t talking about you. I commented to nick who has his math wrong. If it costs 2 million dollars and you want to margin to be 50 percent it is 4 million. He said 3. He was wrong

[@jovandowdy9784]

Good information just prefer to learn from someone that doesn't have to curse

[@contractorfighttv]

Sorry we're not a fit for you Jovan. There are some other great contractor coaches on YT. I'm sure you'll find one that works for you. All the best!

[@MrDream-pp5he]

Just doood it 👌😂

[@ishansiewdath9735]

An I'm feeling the down part right now....I've had alot of ups aswell......it's been very humbling needless so say ahhhhhhhhhhh

[@vinniedeluca2188]

Putting way to much focus on money, I have a very successful business and I make well into six figures, and I can tell you that there isn’t a single amount you can make that will bring true happiness, so ya being successful is very important but you seem like the type that depends on a ton of money for happiness which is not the type of mentality you want to teach men because it’s a long tough road to misery unless you find what truly makes you happy.
