In this final installment of the 5-part series, Tom gets brutally honest about the single biggest reason contractors fail to hit $1 million in revenue—it’s not the market, your skills, or your team. It’s YOU. If you haven’t truly decided to build a million-dollar business, you’re already behind. Tom shares powerful insights and challenges every contractor to cut off all other options and fully commit to their future.
