Synopsis

Most small business owners do not lose money because of bad work. They lose money because they do not know their true costs, lack operational structure, and fail to build systems that scale beyond themselves.

The Principles of MESLO introduces a practical framework for estimating, pricing, operationalizing the back office, and building systems that support long-term profitability.

Drawing from firsthand experience in construction, operations, government contracting, and military systems planning as a former U.S. Army Captain, David Molina presents a practical framework for estimating, operational discipline, and scalable business systems through the MESLO methodology:

  • Materials
  • Equipment
  • Subcontractors
  • Labor
  • Other Costs

Inside, business owners, estimators, contractors, and operators will learn how to:
  • Build structured and defensible estimates
  • Understand direct, indirect, and overhead costs
  • Reduce operational noise and duplicate effort
  • Improve pricing confidence and profit visibility
  • Operationalize back-office systems and workflows
  • Leverage technology to improve coordination and efficiency
  • Develop repeatable systems that reduce dependency on the owner
  • Create a scalable operational foundation for long-term growth

The principles in this book are designed to help business owners build more structured, scalable, and transferable operations over time.

Part estimating framework, part operational playbook, and part systems manual, The Principles of MESLO provides a practical blueprint for business owners seeking greater clarity, structure, profitability, and operational control.
