Do You Own Your Contracting Business...or Does It Own You?

If you’re the owner of a home improvement or specialty contracting business, we have a few questions for you:

  • Have you achieved all your business and life goals?
  • Is your business struggling despite your best efforts?
  • Is your business thriving BUT… you’d like to take it to the next level and you don’t have time to figure the next step out?

These questions are at the heart of Contractor Nation's School of Entrepreneurship. This unique online program helps contractors take control of their business and achieve their goals.

So many things to juggle, so little time

Home improvement contractor juggling tasks

Many owners of home improvement businesses often find themselves working too many hours and juggling too many tasks when they would be better off stepping back to focus on priorities and managing their business.

The demands of running a contracting business are so many and varied that many contractors find themselves living in a reactive mode. Responding to crises, jumping into the sales process, and pitching in on the actual installations. As a result, many owners find themselves working around the clock, year after year. The idea of taking a vacation makes them laugh. And when it's a family business, any thought of work/life balance goes out the window.

The Solution: A school designed for contractors

In these common scenarios, there's no time to study what is, and what isn't, working in your business. There’s no time to figure out where the weak links are or how to identify the changes that would make the biggest difference in your business.

Growing a business requires stepping back and seeing the big picture. The School of Entrepreneurship teaches contractors how to do this.  How to get clarity and focues.

The focus is on you as a business owner. Online lessons cover every area of your contracting business:

  • Leadership
  • Operations
  • Sales
  • Accounting
  • Marketing
  • Financing
  • Hiring

The School zooms in on the details and looks at the whole business as a working unit.

The focus is on leadership. Building and managing your team is key to implementing long-lasting change in your business. Much of the School curriculum focuses on YOU and empowers you to become the leader you want and need to be.
