People always ask what I read. Here are the 10 books I recommend most to anyone running a business. You’ve got personal development, leadership, and mindset in here, plus a couple you’ve probably never heard of. Save this list, watch the full breakdown for where each one fits, and if you only start with one, make it John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. It’s the one I reach for more than any other.

There's a ton of books out there that you can read, and I definitely recommend reading as much as you can. Here's 10 that I would definitely recommend if you're running your own business. First, ego is the enemy by Ryan Holliday. Great book, especially for personal development. Next, success is an inside job. This is written by a mentor of mine, Lee Milter. Will it make the boat go faster? This is a more obscure book, but a ton of useful leadership lessons in it. Can't forget David Goggins, can't hurt me. Great book on kind of your mental state and how you're showing up in the world. Next, Dan Sullivan, Ben Hardy, The Gap and the Gain. Anything by these guys is gold. The next, the 5XCEO, a book that was recommended to me, maybe about a year ago, unbelievable content in there as it relates to organizing your business. Next up, Simon Sinek, obviously has some great ones. This one's a really good one, leaders eat last. Next up, James Clear, Atomic Habits. This is a very popular book out there, again, personal development. I'm a huge sports nut, so this one, why the best are the best, a fantastic book, a lot of NBA-type stuff in there. And then the last, probably the one I refer to the most as it relates to leadership is John Maxwell, the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership.

Here’s the fastest way to know if you’re making money or just staying busy: know your three numbers. 50% gross profit. 35% overhead. 15% profit. If you can’t say where you stand on each right now, that’s the first problem to fix.
If I could only track five numbers in my HVAC sales department, it would be: revenue per lead, close rate, average install revenue, discount rate, and revenue to budget. Most owners track none of them daily and then wonder why the month got away from them. Measure every day and the numbers stop surprising you.
If your tech left for $2 more an hour, money wasn't the problem. The problem is there was nothing else keeping them. Techs spend most days working on their own. If the money's right, it's the one-on-ones, the organizational support, the daily encouragement that keeps them here. A small raise can't outbid a place people actually want to work and feel supported.
This is where we build technicians from scratch. Zero experience walks in, and electricians, plumbers, and HVAC pros walk out. Everything in this lab is functional. They can tear it apart, we can plant faults, and they can fail safely here instead of in a customer’s home.
