One plumber made $200,000 in his first week using abandoned call reviews. Another user recently reported they 4x'd their reviews. It's more than just a thank you text; it's about seeding the idea of a 5-star review early on. #successstories #businessgrowth

Some people thrive when given autonomy and high-level goals, but bristle under micromanagement. For some, the solution is to create an environment where they are in control. #entrepreneurship #leadership

A brand encompasses mission, culture, and vision. Owners should brand themselves and their businesses. Contractors often miss the opportunity to teach and share their knowledge. #branding #business

Many deals look like "dog shit" on the surface, but that's where opportunity lies. It's about finding the turnarounds, not the obviously perfect businesses. #Entrepreneurship #BusinessDeals #Turnaround
