EPISODE 242: What if scaling your home improvement business didn’t mean working more, but finally doing less?
That’s the exact mindset shift Rebecca Ackerly made—and the results have been transformational.
With a diverse background in construction, business development, and digital marketing, Rebecca has built a successful career by combining hands-on experience with strategic leadership.
In this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast, Rebecca and I discuss her professional journey, including how she helped scale Universal Windows Direct of Manchester into a successful, multi-million-dollar business that’s well positioned to grow during this time of change in our industry.
