For too long, people thought they had to 'keep secrets' to get ahead. All that did was force everyone else to re-invent the wheel. Well, no more... we’re here to show contractors how to run a business on simple systems.
My team and I work hard to bring you real stories from real contractors in real situations, with insights from other contractors.
Have you said something like this lately? …and you’re not alone.
(To your wife)
'Honey, working harder has stopped working…'
(To your friends)
'I’m starting to see that the money isn’t in the sawdust anymore.'
(To yourself)
'Things used to be simple. I need to get back in control again.'
(To your best friend)
'I can’t keep up this pace forever- something has to change.'
I was there myself. I was busy, my customers loved me, my crew always had work, but I wasn’t making a dime.
I wish I had the words to tell you how frustrated I was.
The whole reason I created this company was because I couldn’t find what I needed anywhere else. I wanted to hear from other contractors and how they figured things out.
That’s how Profit Tool Belt was born.
Do you want to be a contractor who runs a few crews, or do you want to be a business person who just happens to be a contractor?
That’s why it’s all about sharing how to build a profitable construction company that runs on simple systems.
We are glad you're finally here.
