Freedom ($4M-$6M)

Revenue is a guide—your stage depends on how your business actually operates
THE REALITY CHECK
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You know how to do the work and win jobs. But the business still depends on you to keep leads moving, price the work, manage the crews and solve very problem
The company has grown but instead of giving you more freedom, it keeps demanding more of your time
signs your business still depends on you
You're either buried in work or worried about where the next job is coming from
Leads, estimates and follow-up still live in your head
Revenue is growing but the profit doesn't seem to follow
Every important question and problem comes back to you
You're doing paperwork at night after running jobs all day
Taking time off only creates more work when you return
Your family gets whats left of you, not the best of you
THE TURNING POINT
I THOUGHT MORE REVENUE WOULD SOLVE EVERYTHING
I WAS WRONG.
At $2 million in revenue, the business owned me. My phone never stopped ringing, and every problem came back to me.
More revenue wasn’t the answer. Building better systems and stronger leaders was.
Eventually, we grew beyond $6 million, I reduced my workload to 4–10 hours a week, and I sold the company

WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?
REVENUE UP.
PROFIT MISSING?
Cash Flow Stress
Money comes in, money goes out, but the account never grows. Payroll feels like a weekly emergency.
Thin Margins
You're winning bids, but by the time the job is done, the profit is eaten up by mistakes and material costs.
Underpricing
Guessing on estimates to win the job, leaving thousands on the table because you don't know your true costs.
Rework
Crews making the same mistakes twice. You're paying for the same job multiple times out of your own pocket.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know before applying for a strategy session
How much time does this take?
You don't need to work on the academy everyday. You need enough time to attend the weekly calls and implement the most important change in your business. We focus on one problem at a time so you aren't trying to rebuild everything at once.
Will this work in my market?
The exact customers, pricing and opportunities vary by market, but the fundamentals of running a profitable drywall company don’t. We help you adapt the systems and strategy to your company, whether you work in residential, commercial or both.
What if I'm under $1M in revenue?
If you’re doing at least $300K annually, the Academy may be a great fit. At this stage, we typically focus on building a steady pipeline, improving estimating and pricing, protecting your margins and getting important information out of your head.
Is this just another online course?
No. Drywall CEO Academy is a hands-on growth and implementation program. You get proven systems, live strategy and implementation sessions, direct guidance, accountability and a community of established drywall contractors.
What makes this different from generic business coaching?
This was built specifically for drywall contractors by someone who grew, systemized and sold a $6M+ drywall company. We identify where you are on the Drywall Freedom Ladder™ and help you implement what your company needs to reach the next stage.
What happens on the strategy call?
We’ll look at where your business is today, what still depends on you and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll identify the most important thing to fix next and determine whether Drywall CEO Academy is the right fit. Either way, you’ll leave with a clearer direction.
