Our guest on the show today is our very own coach, Ian Ouwerkerk.
Ian coaches the highest number of businesses here at Breakthrough Academy. He has a massive sample size and a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't when it comes to growing your construction or trades business.
He is particularly well-versed in implementing what we call the Contractor Growth Method with his coaching Members. It’s a six-part business system designed to help contractors set their businesses up for success—whether that means scaling, stabilizing or just making the whole thing less painful and more fun.
Today, Ian is going to walk us through that system, just like he’s done hundreds of times for Members.
This episode is the high-level answer to the question: “how do I systemize my entire contracting business from start to finish?”
