    Trick Yourself Into Thinking You’re Better Than You Are | Chris Hermes

    EPISODE 224: To grow a truly successful home improvement business, you don’t just need to sell more or deliver quality work, you also need to make sure your sales and production aren’t misaligned. After all, it is this alignment that creates the foundation for a thriving business: predictable growth and profitability without all the headaches. How can you achieve this? To answer this question, I’ve invited an expert on this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast, Chris Hermes, the founder of USA Showers, a bath remodeling company based in Arizona.  Chris learned the ropes from industry leader (and my dear friend) Brian Gottlieb, applying lessons on KPI management and the importance of cash flow in handling the “back end” of the business while scaling profitably.  With a disciplined approach to alignment between sales and production, and a personal commitment to self-development, Chris is now on a mission to double his own business’ revenue in the coming year. In this episode, Chris and I will be discussing his personal development journey, the story of how he went from running sales to being thrown into running a $25 million backend, how he scaled his brand new USA Showers to $6M in revenue in less than a year, why you should trick yourself into thinking you’re better than you are, and so much more. Chris’s journey to his own multimillion dollar bath remodeling business is truly inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to learn more about it. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!

    Ego Is the Enemy of Success (And How to Let Go of Control) | Charles Surber

    EPISODE 222: Many contractors find themselves taking on too much work because they don’t want to give up control. They’d rather work long hours in the business than hire the people to do it.  But this isn’t the way to run a successful company, no matter how talented you might be.

He and I will also be talking about how he’s hacked customer loyalty, why the company is focusing on community engagement as much as profit, the importance of face-to-face marketing, his incredible open house strategy, and more.
