Exit Rich: Home Service Secrets with Lance Bachmann

I Was COMPLETELY Broke Then THIS Happened


Listen Later

Buckle up for a wild ride on today’s Exit Rich! I’m pumped to bring you my raw, unfiltered chat with Travis Ringe, the guy who flipped my world upside down. No Joke! Five years ago, at Vertical Track, this dude’s story of cashing out big-time lit a fire under me. Without him, I wouldn’t have sold six companies for hundreds of millions and today we are here to share this knowledge with you. Travis is the real deal—no BS, just straight-up game-changing insights. We dive into his ProSkill Services exit, his bold new ventures, and the gritty lessons that’ll make you rethink everything.

Travis keeps it low-key but drops pure gold. Watch for more from him, and if you’re in HVAC, get on NUVE—it’s a customer-retention weapon.

Key Moments

-The Power of Networking: Travis’s story proves conferences and masterminds are worth their weight in gold. I now drop hundreds of thousands yearly to rub elbows with the right people, all because of that fateful meeting. Travis says the real juice is in the connections and knowledge swaps, not just the stage talks.
-Post-Exit Challenges: After selling, Travis tried retiring but crashed hard into “seller’s depression,” boozing nightly and losing his edge for six months. He learned the hard way that entrepreneurs need a post-exit plan, or you’ll be a miserable wreck.
-Roofing Business Insights: Travis’s roofing gig in bone-dry Phoenix has been a grind due to scarce rain. He advises checking Google AdWords for search volume and weather patterns before jumping into markets like roofing. Still, his company’s profitable and could fetch $15-16 million at sale.
-Operational Excellence: Travis hammers home the need to grow managers from within to keep processes tight and accountability fiercer. He warns against the pipe dream of flipping a company fast without rock-solid systems—private equity sharks sniff out sloppy operations.
-Family and Balance: A family man with a wife and two kids, Travis says family keeps you grounded and driven. He regrets missing his kids’ early years while chasing business glory and sold partly to show up for them. He stresses picking a partner who can handle your chaos—way more critical than any business deal.
-Advice for Young Entrepreneurs: Travis tells hotshot wannabes to chill the hell out. Overnight success is a myth. He built ProSkill over a decade, debt-free, focusing on customer experience. His advice: build a loyal customer base, bulletproof processes, and a killer network—don’t chase quick cash.
