Welcome to Day 28 of the Double Your Profit Series
The go-to series for contractors, home service owners, and small business entrepreneurs.
Today’s lesson is simple, bold, and direct: Outspend Your Competitors in Sales & Marketing.
🧠 Why Outspending Works
Marketing isn’t a cost — it’s an asset. It’s the lever that drives growth, creates demand, and keeps your pipeline full. While many competitors cut back when times get tough, the businesses that double down on marketing are the ones that win market share.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why competitor pullbacks (like PE firms cutting marketing budgets) create massive opportunity
Real-world example: how a competitor’s cut from 10% → 5% marketing spend allowed us to dominate our market

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
