Description

In this episode, Tom delivers a no-holds-barred breakdown of the top reasons contractors struggle to make money. With a focus on actionable advice, Tom identifies the mindset shifts and business strategies necessary to turn things around and build a profitable contracting business.

In this episode, Tom discusses:

  • Why treating your business as transactional rather than relational is costing you repeat clients and referrals.
  • The lack of personal discipline and how it sabotages your ability to stay consistent and reach your goals.
  • The importance of shifting your identity from craftsman to business owner and embracing your role as a marketer and salesperson.
  • Practical tips to build stronger client relationships, maintain discipline in daily decisions, and prioritize marketing to drive consistent leads.
  • An introduction to the Contractor Business School, designed specifically for contractors generating under $500K per year, and how it helps you build a profitable, sustainable business.
