Module overview

Business Foundations

Build the decision framework and minimum systems that let your trade skills actually run a business instead of just running you.

This module shifts your operating mindset from tradesperson-only thinking to business operator decisions — covering job acceptance logic, the four core business engines, margin awareness, and minimum systems.

Outcome: You operate from clear rules and a weekly rhythm instead of reacting to whoever called last or whichever job is loudest.
