Are You Paying Yourself? Why Pricing Matters More Than Ever- MDL episode 329

In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan reflects on Thanksgiving and dives into one of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of running a landscaping business: making sure your pricing includes your paycheck.

 

Scott shares why Gross Profit alone isn’t enough to measure your success and explains how overlooking Net Profit—and failing to pay yourself a livable wage—can leave your business struggling to grow. Using real-world examples, he uncovers the common mistakes landscapers make when reviewing their Profit & Loss statements and why it’s critical to account for all overhead costs, including your own paycheck.

 

But this episode isn’t just about identifying the problems—it’s about finding solutions. Scott introduces the Cash Flow & Grow program, a comprehensive system designed to help landscapers calculate their true costs, price jobs for profit, and ensure they’re paying themselves a livable wage.
