The 4 Profit Multipliers for Successful 6 & 7 Figure Business Exits

Five years stuck in a "rat race" to signing the largest project to date after only two months inside TPB.
Today on The Builder's Ladder, Vinnie interviews Jonathan about his recent wins. He describes his business before TPB as lacking direction and struggling to grow.

The results? In just the first two months of the year, Jonathan's sales were four times higher when compared with the same period in 2023.
Here are the key takeaways from our interview:

Focus on Results and Taking Action (01:04)

Margins, Markups & The Golden Pricing Ratio: How Jonathan Started Pricing For Profit

As a builder, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day chaos of your business. Before you know it, you're clocking 50-70+ hours a week and the business consumes your entire life.
That was the reality Ken faced when he enrolled in The Professional Builder. Listing down the tasks he was doing by himself, he found out he was working for 70+ hours each week.
But just 4 months in, he got an initial 40 hours per week of admin tasks off his plate. Plus he hired a site manager who "kicked him off-site", which freed him up even more time to focus on marketing, sales, and systems improvement.
Today on The Builders Ladder Podcast, Vinnie and Ken discuss how Ken achieved these results. Tune in to discover:
The power of testimonials in growing your construction company (06:06)
• How TPB helps builders get unstuck (08:16)
• How increased confidence can help your business grow (10:23)
• The essential tools and strategies to buy back your time (14:31)
• The importance of peer learning and collaboration in your business (15:08)

The Essential Systems This Builder Used to Reclaim 70 Hours/Week

Health & Safety is often not a high priority word in the builders' vocabulary. In fact it's often the last thing on the list.
On good days, you'll get bombarded with inspections, compliance certificates, and documentation.
But on bad days... you're gonna wish you had some safety measures on-site.
Sitting down with Owen today is Vanessa Lambert. She is the Head of Customer Success & Experience at HazardCo Australia. With years of experience in the trade safety industry, she shares some of the best practices to ensure safety on-site, protecting both your team and your bottom line.
We'll touch on topics such as:
• Evolving digital tools in construction safety (05:39)
• Importance of site-specific safety plans (07:24)
• Impact of safety on project profitability (16:00)
• Building a strong site safety culture (22:55)
• Crucial role of communication in safety (28:09)
"In the building game, we want to avoid loss rather than maximize profit." - Owen Chambers
Safety isn't about regulations, it's about protecting your workers and avoiding serious injuries.
