Everyone Thought His Business Would Fail- Becoming A Millionaire In 1 Year

What happens when a small-town guy from Minnesota rebrands a business, straps on a tool belt, and grinds his way to $1 million in year one—with just one teammate and no excuses? You get Cole Nelson from Maverick Construction.
