Long projects choke cash flow if you don’t have fast-cycle services running in the background.

Big projects feel like wins… until you realize they’re suffocating your cash flow. Here’s the truth most founders learn too late: Margin is made on the big jobs, but cash is saved by the small ones. Fast-cycle services keep payroll smooth, materials paid, and stress low. They create a baseline of predictable revenue while your long projects slowly grind toward completion. If you’re always waiting on milestones, approvals, or retainage, you’re not scaling. You’re surviving. Build a dual-engine model: Slow work that stacks profit. Fast work that feeds the machine.
