Is it even possible to run a business without you yet making eight sales figures? 

Yes, it's possible! Someone cracked the code, and that's what you are about to learn today.

We have Marc-André La Barre of Lib. as our guest for today, and he'll let us in on his secrets on what makes his design and construction service company runs like a well-oiled machine with little to no involvement from him. (His company just made $14M in sales on commercial services last year.)
