LEAVE THE TAP-DANCING SHOES AT HOME.
Ever walk into a meeting with your banker or bonding agent and find yourself explaining why one report says one thing and another report says something else?
That's when the tap dancing starts.
Your WIP says one thing.
Your P&L says another.
Your job-cost reports tell a slightly different story.
And suddenly you're spending the meeting explaining your numbers instead of discussing your business.
Here's something I wrote in The Contractor's Financial Playbook:
Confidence begins long before you walk into the banker's office.
It begins with financial information you understand and trust—and with reports that all tell the same story.
If you're confident in your numbers, you don't have to memorize the answers before the meeting.
You already know them.
That's what Lesson 7 is about:
“Walk Into Your Banker’s Office Like You Already Know the Answers… Because You Do.”
It's one of seven lessons in The Contractor's Financial Playbook.
