Building a business that runs without you.
Straight talk for service business owners, the trades, contractors, and shops where the owner is the one holding it all together. HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, concrete, remodeling, tire shops. Notes on getting the work to run from sold to done to paid, without you in the middle of every job.
Same systems we install for clients. Not theory, what holds up in a real shop.

First guides are being written now.
