$40M Revenue. Where's your Ferrari?
Contractor: "We hit $40 million for the first time!"
Me: "Cool. Where's your Ferrari?"
Contractor: "I can't afford a Ferrari."
Me: "Exactly."
After 30 years in banking and reviewing 10,000+ financials, I've discovered the construction industry's dirty little secret:
Why do some contractor owners take home less than their project managers?
I've seen it all:
$2M Contractor making $300K
$15M Contractor making $175K
$30M Contractor making $200K
Notice a pattern? Revenue went up 15x. Personal income went down.
That's not a business. That's a really expensive job.
Here's what kills me: These owners carryALLthe risk. Sign personal guarantees. Lose sleep over payroll. Miss their kids' games. Work 70-hour weeks.
For what? To watch everyone else get paid first?
You didn't start your business to be the lowest-paid person on the payroll.
The problem isn't revenue. Does this sound familiar?
Have you doubled revenue but not pay?
Hate dealing with banks/lenders
Tired of chasing money weekly from clients and from vendors chasing you?
Look, I get it. You probably made the same promise to yourself that I hear every January:
"This is the year I finally keep more of what I earn. This is the year I stop chasing revenue and start building real wealth."
But here we are, the start of 2026, and you're at risk of falling back into the same patterns. Chasing the next big job instead of fixing the profit leaks in your current business.
The difference between broke contractors and wealthy contractors?
Broke contractors chase revenue. Wealthy contractors master margins.
Your reward isn't hiding in your next big job. It's already flowing through your business. You just need to capture it.
That's exactly what I'm going to show you in my upcoming client workshop:The 7 Numbers That Make You A Millionaire Contractor.
Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST
I'll reveal the 7 critical financial numbers that every millionaire contractor tracks religiously - the same metrics banks use to decide who gets capital and who gets turned away.
I'll show you the financial benchmark data for your specific industry and revenue size. You'll discover how to uncover $300K+ in hidden profit margins already sitting in your business, and finally pay yourself like the owner instead of being last in line.
Don't let another year slip by. Your early bird window closes January 8th. You'll receive future emails from me about this workshop, but the price goes up, so why not lock it in now?
Early Bird Special: Register by January 8th for just $19(regular price $79 for guests, free for current clients). Use code: Earlybird
Because Revenue for Show. Profit for Dough. But actually, keeping what you earn? That's how you afford the Ferrari.
Make 2026 the year you finally keep your promise to yourself.
Sincerely,
Patrick Shurney, MBA | The Millionaire Contractor Coach™
