Show Notes
What’s keeping you from finally pushing past that $500,000 mark in your contracting business? In this episode, Chris G talks about the real reasons growth stalls. He dives into the reasons why some contractors stay stuck and why others take off once they start trusting the right people, raising their prices, and getting clear on their numbers. He shares stories that hit close to home, simple tips for hiring strong team members, and why paying good money for great people is worth every penny. He also breaks down budgeting in a way that actually makes sense. If you’re still doing everything yourself, undercharging, or hiring folks who just aren’t cutting it, this episode is for you.
