I’m in the "hot seat” when I’m interviewed by fellow podcaster Devon Tilly from The Art Of Construction Podcast where we have a conversation about growing your roofing business. We also get into my experience of 30 years of contracting and talk some helpful tips.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why I choose to share my experiences over 30 years of roofing and how others can grow their business but yet have more free time
• “What’s in it for me?” How I try to give info that I wish I’d had back in the tough days of running my business
• How I secure show guests and experts who can give a broad perspective of the roofing business
• What I wish I’d known a long time ago:
  • Focus
    • How to pinpoint my business by looking at the numbers
    • How to avoid the “shotgun” approach
    • Why “the riches are in the niches”
    
    
  • Simplify
    • Don’t make it rocket science or get too complicated
    • Do a FEW things really well
    
    
  • Communicate
    • Make sure everyone is on the same page
    • Take the time for a pre-construction meeting
    
    
  • Key Roofing 101 Tips: Sell work, do work, and keep score
  • What I learned in selling my roofing business: It takes a while to “start with the end in mind”
  • Two purposes for being in business:
    • To provide a good lifestyle for you and your family
    • To build a salable asset to support you in retirement
    
    
  • Why your business can’t be dependent on ONE person but has to be a workable system that you can leave in the hands of capable people
  • The only way you’ll grow in business is to delegate to others who can do it at least 50% as well as you
  • If you don’t delegate, then you’ll never have a salable business and never have any fun or free time
