    Fool Proof Way To Save $100k in a Year — The Finance Playbook for Outdoor Contractors | Developers Podcast

    Most contractors are great at building. Terrible at keeping money. In this episode, Derek sits down with Michael from Blue Raven Accounting — Your Haven’s long-time financial partner — to break down the exact strategies that helped Your Haven grow to nearly 100 team members, cross multimillion in revenue, and build a six-figure cash reserve. All without taking on a single loan. This isn’t accounting theory. It’s the real system: daily cash flow reports, high-yield savings accounts, monthly budget meetings, accrual-based bookkeeping, and the mindset shift that separates businesses that survive from ones that thrive. Whether you’re at $500K or $5M in revenue, the fundamentals in this episode will change the way you think about money in your business. What you’ll learn: Why accrual accounting saved Your Haven from a massive tax bill on multimillion in revenueThe exact date Your Haven opened a high-yield savings account — and how $1,500 turned into a six-figure reserve in 14 monthsWhat a daily cash flow report is and why it’s the “gas meter” of your businessHow to separate your operating account from savings so you stop accidentally spending your reservesThe one meeting every month that keeps spending on track without killing growthWhen to start saving vs. when to pay down debt firstWhat to do with excess capital once your savings are fundedFeaturing: Michael from Blue Raven Accounting 📧 admin@blueravenaccounting.com Follow Your Haven: @yourhavendesign Follow Derek: @derekclelan Your Haven is the 3D Design Partner for outdoor living contractors.

    How We Built a Design Machine | January Recap | Developers Podcast

    In this episode of the Developers Podcast, I’m back after almost a year and shifting the show into something new: documenting the real story of building Your Haven in real time. I recap our first month of the year, what’s working, what’s not, and what I’m learning from the contractors we serve in outdoor living and landscaping. We talk about the Pro Trial offer that became a turning point for our business, the systems and leadership moves that helped us scale, and why design matters so much more than “pretty pictures” — it impacts expectations, estimating, and execution on every job site. I also share some personal updates: marathon training, a big move to Las Vegas to be closer to family, and why I believe consistency and mindset are everything if you want to build something that lasts. In this episode: Why I’m restarting the podcast and changing the formatHow the Pro Trial offer changed our growthJanuary results: 30+ Pro Trials and 17 new Pro MembersWhy design is the foundation: expectations → estimating → executionThe leadership structure we’re building (and how we think about scaling “pods”)Lessons from events, travel, and top contractors in the industryPersonal updates: marathon, Vegas move, and the “infinite game” mindsetIf you’re a landscape contractor, outdoor living builder, or you’re building a business and want real behind-the-scenes lessons, this podcast is for you.

    Million Dollar Lessons from Professional Landscaper Josh Cerda

    This is an incredible conversation with Josh of Immaculate Outdoor, a true professional in the landscaping industry. Josh has been doing this for thirty years, the amount of mistakes that he’s made has got him to this point where he’s building a two million dollar design center that also holds his materials so that he can help take his landscaping game to the next level. This episode has millions of dollars of knowledge in it and I’m really excited to share this and see what else Josh creates. He is a prime example of what consistency and discipline can do to your life over a long period of time starting on the maintenance side of Landscaping to getting to the point where he doesn’t have to call homeowners, homeowners call him and he decides who he wants to work with while also having a $2 million landscape design and material facility. It’s incredibly inspiring, I hope you enjoy it. Share it with somebody you know and another landscaper who could learn from this. It’s motivating it’s inspiring thank you Josh.
