MMM Recap: Deadlines, Dollars, and Discipline with Pawl Good

4/3/2025 meetup was a powerful session diving into contractor management, timelines, and accountability. Pawl Good shared some of the systems he's put in place to keep projects on time—and more importantly, profitable.

Here are the key takeaways:

Bonuses Motivate Performance – Offering a $250 bonus for on-time or early completion keeps contractors driven and focused.

Penalties Create Accountability – Missing deadlines results in a $250/day penalty. It’s about setting clear expectations and sticking to them.

Show Up Unexpectedly – Random site visits help ensure the crew is present and working. No workers? Penalties apply.

Real-Life Lesson – A contractor once missed a 10-day deadline on a $60K project and was docked $2,500. Lesson learned: agreements matter.

Timelines = Profit – Staying on schedule isn’t just about speed—it directly impacts your bottom line.

This system has helped Pawl Good manage smoother projects, maintain control, and protect profitability.

Final Thought

Effective contractor management isn’t about micromanaging—it’s about leadership, clarity, and systems. Pawl Good’s approach demonstrates that with the right structure in place, you can avoid costly delays, maintain control, and maximize profitability.
