Who is Blue Collar Blackbelt for?

The four pillars are Profit (pricing, margins, and cash flow), Freedom (systems, SOPs, and operations that run without you), Purpose (leadership and building with intention), and Legacy (creating a sellable, high-value business).

Most Trades Owners Have No Idea If Their Business Is Actually Making Money

Not "busy and hoping" money. Real. Net. Profit. The Blue Collar Profit Matrix shows you the truth about your numbers in under 2 minutes — free.

No email. No credit card. No catch. Just your numbers.

You Know Your Revenue. But Do You Know Your Real Numbers?

You know your revenue number. You probably even know your markup.

But do you know your actual net profit percentage? Do you know what margin you need just to break even? Do you know exactly how far away you are from the profit you actually want?

Most owners don't. Not because they're bad at business. Because nobody ever showed them the right numbers to look at.

The Blue Collar Profit Matrix changes that.

Plug in 5 numbers. Get 8 answers your accountant probably never showed you — including your profit gap, your break-even margin, and exactly how many jobs you need to hit your revenue target.

How It Works

Three steps. Five numbers. Eight answers. Takes less than 2 minutes.

Step 1

Your Numbers — Enter your annual revenue and total cost of jobs (labour, materials, subs — everything it costs to deliver the work)

Step 2

Your Overhead — Enter your total fixed costs for the year (rent, insurance, admin, vehicles, owner salary)

Step 3

Your Goal — Tell it what net profit % you want to keep and your average job size

Hit Run My Profit Matrix and get your results instantly — colour-coded green, yellow, or red so you know at a glance exactly where you stand.

What You'll Find Out

✓ Your actual gross profit and gross margin %
✓ The minimum margin you need just to break even
✓ The margin you need to actually hit your profit goal
✓ Your actual net profit — dollar amount and percentage
✓ Your profit gap — exactly what you're leaving on the table every year
✓ How many jobs you need at your average job size to hit your revenue target

This is the same diagnostic framework used inside the Blue Collar Blackbelt program — the system that has helped trades owners across North America go from working 70-hour weeks with thin margins to running businesses that pay them properly and grow without them.

Common Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. No credit card, no catch. Just your name and email and we'll send it straight to your inbox.

What if I don't know all my numbers exactly?

Use your best estimates. Even rough numbers will show you where the gaps are. The direction matters more than the decimal points.

What's the difference between gross margin and net profit?

Gross margin is what's left after your job costs. Net profit is what's left after your overhead too. Most owners track gross and think they're doing fine — until the overhead eats it. This calculator shows you both.

What do I do if my numbers are in the red?

That's exactly what the Blue Collar Blackbelt program is designed to fix. Pricing, overhead, job mix — there's a specific lever causing your problem. The program shows you which one and how to pull it.

How is this different from the basic Margin Is King calculator?

The Margin Is King calculator shows you markup vs. margin on a single job. The Profit Matrix shows you the health of your whole business — break-even, profit gap, and how many jobs you need to hit your goals. One tree vs. the whole forest.

Who is this built for?

Trades and blue collar business owners doing between $500K and $2M in annual revenue who want to stop guessing and start knowing exactly where their money is going.

Key Takeaways

Most trades owners confuse gross margin with net profit — they are not the same number
Your break-even margin is the most important number most owners have never calculated
The profit gap is the distance between what you're making and what you should be making — and it has a specific cause
Knowing your numbers doesn't fix the problem — but you can't fix what you can't see
A pricing problem and an overhead problem look identical on the surface — the Profit Matrix tells you which one you actually have

Now You Know the Number.
What Do You Do With It?

Knowing your profit gap is step one. Closing it is what the Blue Collar Blackbelt program is built to do. If your results showed you something you didn't like — that's not bad news. That's the most valuable thing you've learned about your business in years.
