First, thank you for reading Contractor Cents. I hope the ideas I share help you grow a profitable business and significantly impact your life and the lives of your employees.
This week is one of the rare times I use this space for me, and personal promotions. You may want to take advantage of these four opportunities.
- I’m part of a two-day AI Summit on September 23-24, 2026.

- Join Profitability Group.
This summer five of the Profitability Group members, some who’ve been a client for more than 10 years, achieved their goals that we have been working on together. They sold their companies for great multiples. I’m really proud of them!
Unfortunately, when you sell, you must leave the group.
This is an opportunity for you, if you want to grow a profitable business and sell it or pass it along to the next generation.
If you are interested in exploring this opportunity, then send me an email (rking@ontheribbon.com) with the geographic location of your company and days/times you are available for an exploratory conversation.
The group is for non-competing contractors. You must also be willing to put in the work to make this happen. I can encourage, be there as a sounding board, and guide. I cannot do the work for you.
- Operations Manuals have been updated. $200 to $500 off the revised manuals through September 30, 2025.
When I updated the manuals, I realized that the first manual was written in 2014…when we still were paper based. The manuals have been updated over the years. This latest update includes the latest procedures/processes. Those of you who own the manuals will receive the updates by email so you can replace the pages that have changed.
