The moment I started dreaming big about building this company, everything started finding me. My business coach found me. My peers found me. The ideas found me. That’s not luck. When you put a big dream out in the world, people want to help, and they want to see you do big things. So why not you?

The true superpower that we have as humans is there is nothing stopping us from dreaming big. And what I have found, when I dreamed big about building a company, all of a sudden all these things started to find me. My business coach found me, peers that I talked to still today found me. I found ideas by going to different shop, I found this, I found that. And I'm like, why is all of this finding me? And all I can think is because when you put it out in the world, people want to help, people want to be part of it. And people want to see people do big things. So why not you?

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.
