★★ Beware Overconfidence:★★ Letting yourself rely on confidence in your skills and an excellent reputation to keep you afloat is a gamble. Success in the business world requires more than talent alone. Taking on jobs beyond your financial capacity or neglecting to prepare for financial challenges can lead to severe setbacks, even when your work is top-notch. But remember, these setbacks are not the end. They are opportunities to learn and grow. Take care of your financial health, including monitoring your spending and debt level(credit rating). Watch the pennies because the dollar will not take care of itself.

★★ RULE #1 Keep Detailed Records ★★ You can track your expenses, work hours, changes to the project scope, and communications with the GC. It's Imperative that you catalogue the reality of your projects, as you will be challenged, and dishonest representation is likely by those who owe you money. This will help you stay organized, handle disputes, and prepare for audits or questions. Starting as a subcontractor can be overwhelming. Still, by focusing on communication, contracts, and staying organized, you'll be better equipped to thrive in the industry. Do you have any other questions or would like some tips?
