LIFE CHANGING. Best investment of my life!
I have been a contractor for about 10 years now. Like most of the people in construction, I started off working for someone, and learning the trades, then decided to start my own company. Even though I had gone to college, I had no idea how to run a construction business, I was working project to project and just hoping my bank account grew or had enough to pay the bills; there was no plan, no purpose.
I few months ago a really good friend of mine, someone with lots of experience in the industry introduced me to this book. My reaction was " OMG!!! What is this? Where was this the whole time??? Why is everyone not reading this??; This must be the Bible for construction."

The best "How To" book to become a profitable and sustainable GC!
This book changed our lives! Like many GCs, we were working long hard hours, but always often reactive instead of proactive. Our hope at the end of the month was the bank account had more money in it than the month before.
We used this book as a guide on how to build systems for each part of our business (finances, sales, production, etc.).
Buy this book - you won't regret it! Vicki has been in the game for a long time. She's seen it all. You don't need to reinvent the wheel - use her systems and you will make more money and get more time back for your family.

I Put in Half the Time Now
Before I met Vicki, I was working out of my house with part-time help. I was routinely putting in 80-100 hours a week on my business. I didn’t have time to do other things I enjoy, and I was exhausted and unhappy. Vicki helped me put the systems and people I needed in place to sustain and grow my business. Now, I put in half the time I used to and get much more done, and make way more money.

In the two years since we started working with Vicki and implementing her approach and tools, we have gone from making less than 1 million a year to having projections for 15 million. Now, we have 33 employees, and I don’t try and do their jobs anymore. I set realistic expectations and hold people responsible.

Great Insights into Contractor Business Models
Vicki is able to put financial concepts into way that will make sense for contractors and those that work with them. I am not a contractor myself but we rely on these small businesspeople to deliver our programs. The examples were real life and actionable. Would definitely recommend for those that are contractors or that want to get a better understanding of how their businesses work.
