Are credit card fees just the cost of doing business, or are they quietly eating away at your profits? In this episode, Brian shares why he changed his mind about absorbing processing fees, the real financial impact on growing companies, and how business owners can make smarter decisions to protect their margins without sacrificing customer service. This is a practical discussion every contractor and small business owner needs to hear.
