🚨 Did your Roofing Business Starve for Profit in 2025?
If you feel like you are working twice as hard to make half as much money, you aren't crazy. You are being squeezed.
Look at the math of 2026:
📉 Volume: Down 30-40% (The storms didn't show up).
📈 Materials: Up 40%+ since 2020.
📈 Labor Up: 20%+ since 2022
💸 Lead Costs: Doubled (+118%).
🏢 Overhead: Fixed (and eating you alive).
We call this "The Big Squeeze."
If you are trying to run a 2026 business with a 2025 playbook, you are heading for a cliff. But there is a way out.
I just released a Free 7-Part Video Series called "The Big Squeeze: Escaping Profit Starvation."
I’m breaking down exactly how to:
✅ Stop the "Free Estimate" bleeding.
✅ Increase your Close Rate to 40% (without buying more leads).
✅ Cut Overhead with Hybrid Ops.
The squeeze is real. But so is the solution.

It is time for a new era...
The obsession with "work-life balance" has failed us.
Balance implies equal distribution, and in reality, that only leads to sacrifice across the board.
What you actually need is your sweet spot.
The zone where:
- You design your lifestyle first
- Your work orbits around your life (not vice versa)
- Systems protect your priorities automatically
- Growth happens within your natural constraints
Most people do the opposite - they let their work dictate their life parameters, then wonder why they feel hollow despite "success."
The sweet spot isn't a 50/50 split. It's finding the right tension across all elements of your life.
The constant delay of life is a trap.
Stop sacrificing today for some magical "successful" future that never arrives.
You've seen it:
• Missing the kids growing up for the corner office
• Damaged health chasing funding rounds
• Skipping vacations for a decade
Then what?
Your reach your pinnacle only to realize you've built the wrong mountain.
Here are 3 levels of doing it differently to live in the sweet spot:
1. Design the lifestyle you want first. Not someday, but TODAY.
2. Let that lifestyle guide your investment of time/energy.
3. Build systems that serve your life (not drain it).
True prosperity isn't waiting at the top of some ladder. It's building each rung to support the life you actually want to live.
Soooo,
After attending the IRE there seems to be an underserved group of roofers, painters, and other home service contractors out there. They want to grow fast with great coaching without breaking the bank because they can't afford 1-on-1 coaching.
Over the last few months there have been several contractors that have asked for help but don't need everything our 1-1 coaching offers to break through the barriers holding them back.
I am considering helping this group of contractors achieve their goals by helping them do the right thing at the right time without sacrificing what matters most with a group call 2-3 times a month.
After helping 1000's of contractors over the last 12 years create some pretty amazing businesses I want to help even more create theirs.
Yes there will be an investment to participate. Without one you won't take it seriously. Trust me, my time is valuable and your commitment is necessary to ensure success.
I have two questions if I do this...
I need 10 companies to justify doing this. Is anyone interested?
If so what would you consider a fair investment for approximately 40 meetings a year, charged monthly and the ability to cancel at anytime?
Here is what you would get:
✅2-3 meetings monthly with me and Masters from my network
✅15-20 minutes of specific training based on the members requests
✅15-20 minutes of breakouts and takeaways to implement and grow immediately
✅15-20 minutes of Q&A
✅Private Group Chat to ask me or others anything throughout the week
✅Access to the Contractor Training Room platform for all things sales and marketing for sales reps
✅ M.A.P. Simplified Strategic Planner
✅ Copy of the "Contractor's Blueprint" book
✅Access to the meeting recordings and the ContractorSage AI platform (It will blow your mind)
Everyone who enters will be treated as a "Case Study" tracking your progress throughout the program. The data will be yours to keep and access the success of your investment.
Looking forward to your answers in the comments below.
If you have any idea how to make it better or something you would prefer I am open to those suggestions as well.
Most people treat prosperity like a destination.
As if there's some magical number in your bank account that suddenly makes you prosperous.
I believed this lie for a decade.
Truth is, prosperity isn't something you achieve.
It's how you live each day.
The sooner you grasp this, the faster you'll find what you're actually looking for.
Stop chasing. Start living.
That discomfort you're feeling? It's trying to tell you something.
The price of growth isn't just discomfort. It's "Healthy Tension"!
It's sustained "Healthy Tension" that hits in waves:
– Each new challenge tests your resolve
– Each setback questions your direction
– Each victory reveals bigger mountains
– Each breakthrough demands more from you
This is why most retreat to safety.
The temporary relief feels better than constant tension.
But retreating has its own cost:
– Unresolved fears
– Unreached potential
– Unfulfilled purpose
And here's the truth about growth:
The pain of regret lasts longer than the pain of progress.
You don't need to be ready for 100 challenges.
You just need to be ready for the next most important one.
Prioritize & Keep going.
You're trading control for comfort IF every day you:
• Let others dictate your schedule
• Follow someone else's emotions
• Chase someone else's goals
The only sustainable path to freedom?
Focus ruthlessly on what you control.
