EPISODE 297: What is it like scaling a business?

As a former Navy pilot with winning embedded already in him, Shawn Dominguez already had that fire to build a successful construction business.

In 2022, Dominguez Design-Build Inc. was the fastest-growing company in Pensacola, number 4 in Florida, and number 11 in the U.S. This was just years after they went full-time in 2018.

But Shawn knew that if he wanted to scale his business from $20M to $50M in revenue, he had to get the right pieces in place. And that's what motivated him to join our Systematize Your Construction Business or SYCB program.

In today's episode, our very own Leyah Hostetter sits down with Shawn to talk about some of the foundations for scaling a business.

He talks about how simple tasks can sometimes get in the way, the connection between standard processes and cash flow, what winning looks like, and the effects he and his team are experiencing after going through the SYCB program.
