Going From 6 Figures to 7 Figures! Construction Champions Podcast 83 Bobby Jackson
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Bobby Jackson and Ron Nussbaum talk about the unique struggles your business has moving from a start up to a growing company.
About Bobby
… a military veteran (USMC)
… a business owner
… a professional speaker
… a fractional CFO
… an economist
I don’t believe in mediocrity, and I don’t think you do either, or you wouldn’t have read this far.
My life is dedicated to helping veteran-owned businesses better serve our communities and maximize our impact on entrepreneurship and the global economy.
I do this through my Community - the Veterans Vault, my weekly Podcast: Semper Fi Financial Fridays, and multiple programs to demystify business finance and equip veterans with tools to scale.
Demographic Impact:
… 26 - 55 years
… Veterans
… Business Owners
… Military Officers
… Senior Enlisted Service Members
… Military Spouses
Companies I have impacted:
✅ SBC (NC)
✅ Michigan Veterinary Practices
✅ Holistic Medical Facilities
✅ Coaches/Consultants
One of my passions and specializations is showing veterans how to leverage their military experience and veteran status to scale their businesses and maximize profitability and impact.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY👇🏾:
"Bobby Jackson helped me to stabilize revenue and maximize profitability. I was able to organize my financials and business structure, which took us to multiple 6 figures” - Army Major (30% revenue increase)
“Bobby Jackson is the Explosive Growth CFO! I've learned more from him about financing and business after 2 sessions than I thought was possible from business planning to strategic acquisitions” - Army MSgt (Cost Saving Consulting)
“I was skeptical at first, but in only 4 months, Bobby helped me close my first paying client, and solidify proof of concept. If you’re on the ropes, go ahead and invest. Bobby is the BEST at what he does.” - Family Restoration Consultant (Tested Business model, funding secured, cash collected in just 4 Months)
I have consulted with government agencies and colleges for entrepreneurship and finance objectives.

4 Traits To Set Up Business Success! Construction Champions Podcast 77 Harrison Tash
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Harrisson Tash and Ron Nussbaum talk about 4 of the 8 traits you need to develop to become the best vision of yourself in life and business.
About Harrisson
I'm the Founder of Living Water Consulting. We help mission-driven CEOs & entrepreneurs scale & streamline their businesses so they can have the freedom they deserve. We accomplish this by strengthening leadership, processes, & systems around clearly defined goals.A little bit about me, first my favorite quote…"If you hold a cat by the tail, you learn things you cannot learn any other way." Mark Twain.Every time I see this quote, I think about how in life we have choices... choices to go along, agree because it's always been that way, don't speak because it might be controversial & the list goes on. Or we can go against the current... seek to understand, not be afraid to ask the hard questions, focus more on people than the things they’re saying or doing, you know... challenge the status quo, be inquisitive, & creative.I think we are all in need of someone in our lives who helps us see things differently... hold the cat by the tail & see what happens. I like to think of myself as that person, the one who isn't afraid to ask hard questions. I'm the one who cares more about the person than the task because I know that it's the people around us who make us better.
