Tuesday Tuneup- #80
A Year In... and Still Just Getting Started
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Billion Dollar Contractor turns one year old this week… and I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for the support… the encouragement… and the belief over the past year.
A special thanks to my wife, Melissa, for her constant friendship and unwavering support… and to every client who’s trusted me to be part of their business journey.
Starting a business is no joke. You begin with nothing and have to build everything from scratch. Every system, every webpage, every document, every idea… all has to be born.
It’s hard.
You fail far more days than you win.
But when those wins come… they hit different.
There’s nothing like kicking your shoes off at the end of a long day knowing you gave it everything you had… that you left it all on the table… and that somebody, somewhere, had a better day because of it.
What This Year Taught Me
This past year has been one big lesson in patience, persistence, and perspective.
When you build something new, the world doesn’t owe you attention. You have to earn it. One post, one call, one client at a time.
There were days when I wondered if it was all worth it. Days when I stared at the screen, exhausted, trying to figure out how to make everything fit.
But there were also moments of breakthrough. Watching a client light up as their business finally clicked. Hearing someone say, “I’ve got my weekends back.” Seeing contractors move from chaos to control.
That’s the real scoreboard.
And honestly, it reminded me why this industry matters so much. Contractors build the world we live in…literally. Homes, roofs, power systems, communities. Yet most of them are running on fumes, trying to do it all themselves.
Helping them build real businesses isn’t just about profit. It’s about freedom.
Freedom to step away for a week and know the business won’t burn down.
Freedom to pay your team well and sleep at night.
Freedom to work because you want to… not because you have to.
That’s what we’re building here.
Looking Ahead
If year one was about planting seeds… year two is about scaling them.
The 30-Day Roofing Launch Challenge is taking off. The Built to Be Bought program is expanding. And we’re helping more contractors than ever move from being “stuck in the business” to becoming true owners.
There’s still so much to build… so much to refine… but I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next.
Because the truth is this is just the beginning.
So, if you’ve followed along since day one… thank you. If you’re new here… welcome. And if you’re somewhere in between… stay tuned.
The best stories are still being written.
And if you’re ready to write your own… I’d love to help you build it.
Until next week…. Happy Selling
