In today's episode of the Inspector Empire Builder podcast, host Matt Williams welcomes Chris Cochran, the newest coach on the Inspection Empire Builder (IEB) team, to discuss thriving as a solopreneur in the home inspection industry. Chris, a retired Navy Intel Officer turned home inspector, shares his journey from starting a solo business in Arkansas, scaling to a multi-inspector firm during the COVID real estate boom, and intentionally returning to a solo operation in Pensacola, Florida. He explains why he chose to stay solo, emphasizing the mindset shift required for multi-inspector leadership versus solo efficiency. Chris dives into IEB’s revamped Launch program, designed to help solopreneurs build organized, sustainable businesses through systems, growth strategies, and community support. From overcoming analysis paralysis to mastering direct-to-agent marketing, this episode offers practical advice for new and struggling solo inspectors looking to grow their business and combat the loneliness of the trade.
Key Takeaways:
Focus on Growth: New solopreneurs must prioritize marketing to get the phone ringing, using direct-to-agent strategies like open houses or networking tailored to their personality.
Systematize for Success: Organized systems for growth, operations, and inspections prevent overwhelm and build client trust.
Progress Over Perfection: Avoid analysis paralysis by choosing a strategy, executing it, and refining later.
Community Matters: IEB’s mastermind group and events like Unite provide critical support, camaraderie, and diverse perspectives to combat isolation.
Mindset is Everything: A clear, organized mindset compartmentalizes tasks, making solo operations efficient and less stressful.
“Progress over perfection, pick a strategy, execute it, and don’t look back. That’s how you break through as a solopreneur.” — Chris Cochran
