Thank you Jimmy and Herb! Wish this was around 5 years ago when my brothers/cousins and I began the next chapter in our family business. Great discussions, advice and tools on how to be a successful contractor. Keep em comingđđť
These gents are blazing a leadership path more entrepreneurial thinkers should journey down. They think outside the box, address all angles of business especially the ball kickings and suck that all of us owners signed up for the day we hung a shingle to chase the dream.
