The Contractors CEO

07/21/2022

Today building a business is tough but making it past 5 years is a miracle. For those who have lasted more than10 years puts you in the top 10% and into an elite group.

Some have super clarity with laser focus and others are very driven and happen to be doing the right thing at the right moment. So, what is the difference between these two and what is the difference that makes the difference?

I can promise you most of us are not fortunate to be in a market that if we do the right thing at the right moment, it will magically separate us from the competition……It’s not that easy.
Having laser focus and pure clarity will ALWAYS get you closer to your goal.

So, how do we do it? It’s simple but it takes effort. Look, it’s easy to be general. It’s easy to say you want more money and you want less frustration and less problems on your jobs. It’s easy to say you want the right skilled people to call looking for work. But we know this doesn’t happen.

Who do you attract?

Our clients have 3-things that are in common, and they keep showing up. They are Resourceful. They find a way no matter what.

They are Coachable…….they do what we tell them to do and the results speak for themselves, and #3, they are Decisive.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to have clients who can make decisions quickly on what they want in their project? Clients who find a way to move mountains so you can get their project done.

If you aren’t attracting these clients - This is something, you change by a decision.

I attract clients who are ready-
Contractors who are fed up or just simply know they can’t have what they want without following someone who’s done it before. We attract them because we decided decades ago that this is how we wanted to run our businesses.

Contractors who figure it out…
…are responsible for their own success and take their business by the horn?

Contractors that simply break through their fear, AND their income goals.

YOU can attract these clients too

Here's how I can help you right now become available for the RIGHT People.

We will take a close look at your business and identify the chokeholds that are keeping you right now from building the kind of profit you want.
Give you ways that are working to find skilled labor to build your team and look at your current workload to give you specific tweaks you can implement right now to grow your business without losing your mind.

Let me be clear though, this is not a sales call - but instead, the MOST high-value 15-minutes you have experienced in your business in a REALLY LONG TIME.

All you have to do is book the free 15 min call. Send me a DM or just reply to this post with the word "DECIDE" and I will shoot you the details.

See you on the other side!

Don’t know if you caught it, but last week we rolled out something brand new.

You see we found over the last few months with so many contractors fighting against double digit inflation and busier than ever but not able to build a team to get the work done, that their number one need is clarity………..or another way of saying it, (How to build a team during labor shortages) and (How to build profit when inflation just eats it away).

We found offering our time to do a short 15-min business audit of their company gave them clarity and ability for us to show them ways to overcome these struggles they are having.

We’ve been able to add some more time and want to make sure you get yours. It cost nothing for us to chat and see if we can offer some guidance. I call it having “CEO Optics”! After all we are The Contractors’ CEO!

So don’t wait, here’s the link again. https://go.oncehub.com/TCCAuditBlueprint
We’ll catch you on the other side,

When it comes to building your construction business, most contractors tend to make the same mistake of following the crowd. Meaning they end up being a business operator instead of a business Owner.

The only problem with following everyone else, is that you get what everyone else has.

Here’s the thing - the reason why it’s a mistake is that most contractors were taught to make more money, they had to work harder. They also get in the grove of thinking they are the only expert and never learn how to build a team.

Because of it many operators get burned out way to early, suffer health consequences, never make the money they expected to, and ultimately give up on their DREAMS!!

Today most contractors suffer because they don’t know how to build a team during the greatest labor shortage in 30 years and how to combat double digit inflation that we haven’t seen in 40 years………….but here’s the secret……….some contractors do know!!!

The truth is, there IS a different way of doing things that people often aren’t talking about. Most contractors are saying Yes to every bid that comes in, spending time trying to satisfy customers who are not their ideal client, and don’t know where to start building a team so they can run the business for them.

When this changes, it means that you Now get to control your time. You’ll have a system that runs your business and a team to run the system.

It means higher profit margins when you work for a loyal customer who knows you’re the expert, and a team that is dedicated to following you and giving you, their best.

Ultimately it means, you will have less stress, making more money, and having labor seeking you out to work for you instead of you having to chase them and get frustrated by the process.

This week I announced something groundbreaking and powerful that I’m REALLY excited about.

For the next few days, I will be hosting something I’m calling the “Business Audit Blueprint”. These free, 15-min calls are focused on EVALUATING the roadblocks that have kept you from getting to the next level, so that you don’t EXPERIENCE frustration, stress, and Yo-yo-ing profit EVER again.

This could be a life changer for you if you are reading this.

A moment that will change everything for you in your Business, Life, even your Health!

I get it, it seems bold. But trust me - just read all the way through this message and you will see what I mean.

Let’s break it down:

Almost 13 years ago, I was really struggling and having a hard time with keeping our highly successful construction company afloat. I am mean, shoot…. We had built 5 companies from the ground up to high 7-figures but were still missing something.

You see, I wanted to have more free time, not work 60-plus hrs. per week, and not have the company control me, but no matter what I did, we struggled to stop the Yo-yo-ing of our business.

I’m going to be vulnerable with you, this made me feel worthless at times, exhausted, frustrated, and simply worn out.

That is until, everything suddenly changed for me.

You see - I realized I needed to do things in a different way. I had to draw a line in the sand. So, I was bold and reached out to a highly successful person who had multiple 8 figure construction companies and asked if he would help! To my surprise he gave me exactly what I needed to do and continued to mentor me for years.

I got overnight what basically would have taken years to figure out. The simplest, most effective system for scaling profit, dominating your market, building a team, even with labor shortages, and all while I controlled my time and how much I made.

And wow - I’m BEYOND grateful I committed myself to this solution and sought help. As a result, being a true CEO of your business means you take control and lead it.

Implementing this, radically transformed my BUSINESS, RELATIONSHIPS, & EVEN MY HEALTH.

Listen - I know it might sound simple, but the truth is, it took A LOT for me to know I had to figure it out, learn it, & implement everything, then duplicate what I was taught.

Not only did it take time, but I have now invested over $286k on coaching, mentoring, business systems, and whatever it took to figure this out.

And it paid off……..Big Time!

I was finally able to build a team when the market seemed to have no labor available, all without having to work 60 hr. weeks and saying yes to any warm body that walks in my door.

Secondly, I stopped saying yes to every bid and watched my revenue climb like crazy and scaling our profit to high double digits, while working for our ideal clients.

Today I feel amazing as we as an organization have greater impact and control how much personal income we want to make.

And I want You to be able to feel the same way.
That’s why, I’ve created something that’s going to blow your mind.

If you are still reading - I’m about to give you inside information I wish I had known at the beginning.

…and if you’re curious, keep reading as I tend to overdeliver!!

But the thing is, what I’m offering will be available for a VERY small number of people

Why?

Well, because when you read the details, you’ll see why it must be limited considering the amount of personal time and money I’m putting into it.

So, here’s what’s next - if you are interested in reading allll……… the details, reply the word “Double Profit” and I’ll personally send you a reply of what I have to offer you…….FOR FREE -

This is genuinely limited to a few people - so I’ll personally explain all the details and answer your questions…so if you are curious…

👉 Reply “Double Profit” and hit Send.

👉 Look out for a private message from me (check your ‘message request’)

I’m soooo pumped and excited to share this with you!!!

See you on the other side,

Hey Everyone,
I apologize for not staying in touch. We have been absolutely slammed in the last two-three months, and for that I apologize.

You see we got so busy in March helping contractors figure out how to tackle this double-digit inflation we are having, that we had to figure out how to help more contractors. For some this inflation has just been crushing their profit margins.

I had a contractor the other day say, “Ray, we do a lot of concrete slabs and the 3” flat gal. washer we use for the anchor bolts was about $2 bucks just over 2 years ago, today at Home depot our buyer told me it’s over $6 dollars"…..insane! .
His point is that even the smallest item in our industry is out of control…….

(Sorry, I will get back to why I am reaching out!)

We have simply not been able to take care of all the people who are reaching out to us………..until now! I have brought some new people on board to help with our back end of the business, so this can free up myself and others to help you.

We have created something really cool and will be ready to announce it in the next day or two.

Just wanted to send you a quick note and if you are struggling with growing your profit – or building a team when you can’t seem to find anybody – or you are still working 60+ plus hours a week and are always feeling frustrated………………then hold on!

I will be back in the next day or two when we are ready to launch something super awesome.

Until then…………. stay cool and if you are buying $6 dollar washers too and can’t believe it, then we can help.

It's a no-brainer, yet in this industry, it's not hard to find someone skeptical of working with a mentor.

But how come the people who ARE working with a mentor, who are happy to NOT be the smartest person in the room, succeeding?

Because they have adopted the "work smarter not harder" mentality and understand that it doesn't make them less successful to have someone who's done it first show them the ropes.

Instead, it makes them just as successful, if not more, and faster.

We'll let you marinade on that for a while.
