I Asked Contractors What They'd Do If They Lost Everything.....

What happens here

Justin, from Fox Terra Designs, identifies his biggest mistake as trying to do everything himself. He realized he was leaning too heavily on his own perspective without seeking outside advice, especially in financial matters. He cites an example of a construction client who promised payment after continuous changes, which he agreed to as a new business owner, ultimately costing him almost $60,000. He learned the hard way that promises are not enough; everything must be in writing.

Goal: Stress the need for financial knowledge, external advice, and proper contracts.
