Naming What’s Missing: The Profit Blind Spots No One Talks About
Most business owners don’t fail because they’re lazy, stupid, or bad at what they do.
They fail because they’re blind.
In this episode of the Total Profit Podcast, we name the profit blind spots almost no one talks about—the ones quietly draining margin while owners stay busy, stressed, and confused about why the numbers never seem to catch up.
These aren’t obvious mistakes.
They’re normalized habits.
Industry myths.
“Good enough” systems that were never built to protect profit.
In this conversation, we cover:
The most common profit blind spots contractors don’t know they have
Why “pretty good” financials are often dangerously misleading
How job costing, overhead, and labor hide in plain sight
Why most owners feel something is off—but can’t name it
The difference between being informed and being in control
How the Performance Margin Zone reveals what your P&L never will
If you’ve ever thought:
“We should be making more than this”
“The numbers don’t match how hard we’re working”
“I don’t know exactly where the money is leaking”
This episode will put language—and clarity—around that feeling.
We’re not here to scare you.
We’re here to show you what’s missing so you can fix it before it becomes a crisis.

Blind spots don’t go away on their own.
