There's a lot of money in construction! Like... A LOT of money.

But if you've spent any time in the business, you probably already know this.

I remember when I first started helping a family friend (let's call him Tom) around his jobsites when I was just a teenager.

The work was satisfying enough.

But what really excited me was the big checks Tom would pick up from his customers every few days.

At that time, the thought of making $5,000 - or even $10,000 - for a weeks-worth of work sounded like an absolute dream.

So you can imagine that I was pretty disappointed when Tom decided to wrap up his operation and go work as a delivery driver for a major shipping company instead.

Only later would I learn the truth: he brought home more money with his modest delivery job salary than he ever did with his six-figure construction business!

Apparently, if you own a business, you actually have to pay for labor and materials.

And that's how I was introduced to the concept of profit.

But that wasn't the only price Tom had paid:

➡️Time away from family

➡️Late nights writing estimates

➡️Interrupted family vacations

I don't think anyone would disagree that life is made up of seasons and some seasons require us to make calculated sacrifices in order to build our dream life.

But those sacrifices are only worth it if they pay-off in the end.

In Tom's case, the business that should have helped him achieve all of his personal, professional, and financial goals actually ended up becoming a hamster wheel that took precious time and resources away from his family and his dreams.

Unfortunately, Tom is not an exception...

A few years later, I met another contractor who grew his business to $3.2m in annual revenue in less than 5 years, but he also made less than $200k in profit the entire time (that's less than $40k/year in personal income!!).

And to make matters worse, that business ended up collapsing under a mountain of debt shortly thereafter because the profits couldn't sustain it.

That was heartbreaking...

When someone sacrifices so much and yet walks away with so little to show for their effort... it's discouraging.

And that's what set me on this journey.

In the years since those initial experiences, I've committed my time to learning the strategies and tactics that separate hyper-profitable contractors who can afford to be generous with their resources and time from those that are just doing ok or even struggling to stay afloat.

And in all my experiences working with 7, 8 and 9 figure businesses and entrepreneurs, I've identified and engineered a comprehensive profit-scaling framework that mirrors the 3 critical components of every hyper-profitable business:
