916. Stop Signing These Garbage Lawn & Snow Contracts (They’re Traps)
Fullerton Unfiltered
If you’ve ever signed a contract and immediately felt that “uh-oh” feeling… this episode is for you. We’re talking about garbage contracts, hidden clauses, and the fine print that can quietly destroy your profit, your schedule, and your sanity. Just because a client is big doesn’t mean the deal is good, and in lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal, the wrong agreement can turn into unpaid work, chargebacks, endless scope creep, and zero leverage when things go sideways.

913. Where Profit Goes to Die: The Hidden Leaks in Your Bidding Process
Fullerton Unfiltered
You wanna know where profit goes to die? It’s not payroll. It’s not fuel. It’s your bidding process. That’s where most contractors quietly bleed money and don’t even realize it. You underbid to win the job, you guess instead of estimate, you forget overhead, drive time, admin, callbacks, and suddenly that “good contract” is just keeping you busy, not profitable. You didn’t lose the job. You lost the margin before you ever started. Winning bids doesn’t build wealth. Profitable bids do. If you don’t know your true numbers, your bids are just educated guesses and guesses...
