Six Figure Exit

Today we are sharing why we sold our snow business and how we came to the ultimate decision of getting out of the snow industry. 
We share the story how we got started, and ultimately what it was worth and how to look at the value of your snow business at the end of the day. 

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't your employees, the economy, or your competition but you?
In this episode, Carson and Gavin dive into the uncomfortable truth that growing a successful business starts with growing yourself. We discuss how your personal habits, ego, discipline, and leadership directly impact your company's ability to succeed.
From learning to let go of control to taking accountability for your own shortcomings, we break down why the mindset that got you started might be the same thing preventing you from reaching the next level.

We had a couple hours to talk with Josh Clark from Clark Companies, who started 10 years ago, a landscape business. He shares his story of going from zero to $4 million and Landscaping and also growing a 30 unit real estate portfolio along the way. 
 
Hear what Josh is doing next some of the lessons he's learned throughout life and some insight on episode 77.

Fuel prices are up 57% this year alone and that's driving. Huge cost increases across the board in this episode. We talk about how you can combat that how you can raise your prices with fuel surcharges to try to sell through these challenging times and keep growing your business.
 
We talk about how selling with confidence and value is better than selling price and ultimately selling price keeps you trapped and broke in your own business. 

Today we talk with two entrepreneur's Chirs & Colin and how they both are up on sales, and profits this year. We talk about what didnt work so well the previous two years and how they made improvements and adjustments and are now setup with good cashflow to help launch their businesses. 

We share our journey as a landscape company growing through the last 6 years and all the lessons we have learned along the way. 
 
Theres seasons and break points in business, and they change based on the size of your business are all discussed here. 

Episode 73: Get Uncomfortable or Get Run Over
If you want to grow in business, leadership, or life, getting uncomfortable isn’t optional.
In this episode, we talk about why staying comfortable for too long can quietly put you behind. The market changes, competition gets better, your team needs more from you, and the things that got you to where you are today probably won’t get you to the next level.
We break down what it looks like to intentionally put yourself in situations that force growth, make harder decisions, take calculated risks, and keep evolving instead of protecting what feels safe.
Because in business, you’re either getting better or someone else is.
Get uncomfortable or get run over.

In this episode of The Six Figure Exit, we’re talking about why profitability starts long before your crew ever shows up to the jobsite.
We break down how using professional designs and detailed job planners can help contractors quote projects more accurately, plan labor and materials ahead of time, communicate expectations with the crew, and eliminate costly surprises during production.
Too many contractors sell a job with a number in their head and figure out the details once the work starts. The problem is, every missed material, extra labor hour, and overlooked detail eats directly into your profit.
If you want to build a more predictable and profitable contracting business, you need to plan for profit before you ever sell the job.

Episode 71: Pride Is in the Way of Your Success
Is pride keeping you from building the business, and life, you actually want?
In this episode, we discuss why contractors shouldn’t be afraid or too prideful to work as subcontractors for larger companies. Not everyone needs to wear every hat, chase every lead, manage every customer, and build a massive company. For some people, the better path is focusing on the craft, becoming exceptional at the work, and partnering with strong general contractors who can keep their crews busy.
We also break down what strong leadership looks like on both sides of the relationship. Whether you’re a subcontractor leading your crew or a general contractor coordinating multiple trades, your ability to communicate, set expectations, take responsibility, and earn trust will determine your success.
Ultimately, you need to understand what you want out of business. Do you want to build and lead a large organization, or do you want to become a highly profitable craftsman with a focused operation? Neither path is wrong, but pride can push you into a role that doesn’t match your strengths or your long-term goals.

Your outcomes are directly effected by you. Maybe not on your timeline or exactly how you want them, but the choices you make can effect the things you do. 
 
Take accountability for your outcomes, own them, learn and move on.
