Cash flow confession time! 💸

What’s the most creative, or outrageous, excuse a client has ever given you for paying an invoice late?

Share the story in the comments! Chantal’s heard them all, and she can help make late payments a thing of the past.

Material prices are up 11.2% year over year. Quotes that are 60+ days old may be using yesterday’s costs, and quietly thinning the margins on work you’ve already won.

Tradeswomen and trades business owners can take three practical steps:
1. Reprice your material budgets.
2. Ask suppliers for current pricing.
3. Add a price escalator clause to new contracts.

Have you checked the material budget on your older quotes lately?

Material prices are up 11.2% year over year. The biggest annual rise in nearly four years, according to ABC analysis released Oct. 15.

For women and men running trades businesses, a quote that’s 60+ days old may carry yesterday’s material costs into today’s job. That can quietly thin the margin on work you’ve already won.

This week’s money tip:
1. Review older quotes and refresh material budgets.
2. Ask suppliers for current pricing before ordering.
3. For new contracts, consider a clearly written price-escalator clause. For accepted work, check your contract and discuss any changes with your client before repricing.

A quick review can help you make clearer decisions and protect cash flow. How long do your quotes usually stay valid?

Does this sound familiar?

The calendar starts thinning out, and the first thing you feel isn't the cold. It's the quiet.

Winter Cash Runway. That's the term for it.

Not how much money you have. How many weeks you could keep going if the work slowed to a crawl.

Most owners guess three or four months. When they actually add it up, it's usually closer to six weeks.

That's not a scare tactic. It's just what happens when fixed costs (insurance, truck payments, the shop, wages for your core crew) keep coming whether the jobs do or not.

Here's the good news. A runway is something you can measure, and something you can lengthen.

The habit: on the first Monday of each month, take five minutes. Add up your fixed monthly costs. Divide what you've got set aside by that number. That's your runway, in weeks.

Write it down. Watch how it changes.

Once you can see the number, you can do something about it: chase a deposit, hold off on a purchase, line up work for January before November gets busy.

Owners who know their runway don't panic in February. They plan in October.

You build it. We guide it. You profit.

THIS or THAT 🛠️

No wrong answers. Okay, some wrong answers. Settle it for us 👇

1️⃣ New truck, or the paid-off one that still runs?
2️⃣ Hire a helper, or buy the machine?
3️⃣ Bid it low to win it, or walk away?
4️⃣ Coffee at 5am, or coffee all day?

Drop your picks in the comments. We're taking notes.

Happy Friday, keep the tools sharp and the coffee hot.

Profit and cash are not the same thing.

You can have a great month on paper and still stress about making payroll.

Here's why 👇

Profit shows up when the work is done. Cash shows up when somebody actually pays you.

In between, there's a lot working against you: retainage held back, a GC who pays in 60 days, materials paid for up front, wages due every Friday no matter what.

That's why a busy month can still feel tight.

There's a tool for this, and it's simple. A 13-week rolling cash forecast. You map the money going out and the money you expect in, week by week, for the next quarter.

It's not a report for your accountant. It's a one-page map you check every Monday morning with your coffee.

Owners who run one stop getting surprised. They stop being the last to know.

You build it. We guide it. You profit.

The first swap on this card looks like you're doing less. Run the numbers and it's the opposite.

A whole no spend month is 30 days. You do it once, usually in January, it's miserable, and then you never do it again.

One no spend day a week is 52 days. This year. And next year. And the year after that, because it's small enough to survive a hard week.

Fifty two beats thirty, and that's just year one.

That's the pattern on this entire card. The version on the left looks more serious and produces one burst of effort. The version on the right looks unserious and produces the number that actually adds up.

Impressive and effective are not the same thing, and we keep choosing impressive.

Which day of the week would be your easiest no spend day?
