Wise Up Wednesday: It’s Too Late…
It’s Too Late…
Those very words can make your heart sink, because being “Too Late” can be horrendous.
The one that always gets to me, for very personal reasons, is a line from the Mike And The Mechanics song In The Living Years;
“It’s too late when we die,
To admit we don’t see eye to eye…”
So, it’s too late…
It’s too late – to think about fastening your seat belt if you haven’t done so and you’re just about to pile into the back of a truck at 70 mph!
It’s too late to insist your child wears a cycling helmet when you are rushing to the hospital…
Yes these are horrendous emotive examples, but business can be very emotive and very personal, even if some people try and be all macho and say it’s just business.
It’s too late for my Client who has just lost his business after 42 years! How do you think he feels about that right now?
As A Subcontractor Being Too Late Is Not An Option
It’s too late to wish you had read the contract when the Contractor is not paying you…
It’s too late when you’re on stop with all your suppliers…
It’s too late when the bank is calling in the receiver…
Because 99% of contractual problems end up with you not getting paid, and not getting paid has cost literally thousands of construction Subbies their business in the last 12 months!
And 90% of the time you could have protected your profits and your business by the simple expedient of…
Understanding the contract!
So How Easy Is It To Understand?
As an ex Specialist Contractor turned professionally qualified consultant I have been fixing subcontractors problems cost effectively for the last 28 years! And I can guarantee you that understanding the contract is the best way to protect your interests.
