As a business owner, you will get pulled in so many different directions. It becomes easier to believe that landing the next big job will miraculously eliminate all your business woes, however, it won’t. In this episode of Profit First For Tradies, I discuss another business myth - winning the next big job is not going to solve the problem.

Otherwise, you’re at risk of the dangerous cycle of getting the big job - hoping it will solve your problems - getting stressed out - finishing the job - ending in a worst place than where you started.
