Does Your Remodeling Business Pass the Fishing Test?

Can you take a 7-day fishing trip anytime during the year and still make money from your contracting business?

If you can't take a week-off from your business, then you don't really own a business, you own a job.

At Contracting.com, we purely exist to help remodeling and home service business owners work more ON the business vs. IN it.

“The faster you realize that you don’t run a contracting business, but rather a hiring and training organization, the faster you realize that the reason you are not where you want to be in your business, is simply because you have not learned how to clone yourself.”
