EPISODE 231: You want your home improvement business to run like a well-oiled machine? Then you’ll want to take a page out of the book of none other than corporate America.

Although there’s no venture out there like running a home improvement business, there are SOME lessons we can learn from larger corporations. From precise money management tactics to the best tips to become a better leader, big companies bring a wealth of proven strategies you can use to grow your business.

I discuss all of this in more detail with my guest in this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast, Lee Diamond.

Lee is a former Fortune 200 executive that has had the MOST unique entrepreneurial journey. After a successful corporate career, Lee partnered with his son to acquire a home improvement business in Denver, Colorado.

Together, they’re blending corporate sophistication with the flexibility and grit of small business ownership to create the company of their dreams.

In this episode, Lee and I will be discussing how he modernized his company, everything you need to learn about change management, the importance of building a team culture that will prevent great employees from being hired away from you, and so much more.
