Top Ten Mistakes Contractors and Landscapers Make #3!

What happens here

It's crucial to understand the negative consequences of a business owner engaging in technical, hands-on tasks. By doing so, you become a 'liability' and a 'bottleneck' in your own business. You are effectively paying yourself the lowest possible wage (e.g., $10-15 an hour for tasks like landscaping or framing a house) that you could pay an employee. This limits your own financial earning potential and restricts the strategic capacity of your business, preventing growth.

Goal: Recognize why performing technical labor is detrimental to your business's growth and profitability.
