Serial entrepreneur Dom Williams sits down with the Blue-Collar Twins to reveal how a kid running county-wide candy routes now leads a 200-employee cleaning company, owns drive-thru “drink barns,” flips HUD rentals, and is launching a lounge—while coaching other service-business owners past the six- and seven-figure ceiling.

You’ll hear:

  • Early Hustle → Corporate Wake-Up – the Wall Street layoff that pushed Dom full time and helped CNC Cleaning hit $1 M in six months.
  • Play Business for Life – treating strategy like a game and using daily “pulse meetings” to keep the scorecard honest.
  • Systems over Self – Sears-inspired SOPs that let a 200-person team run without him on site.
  • Numbers that Matter – cash-flow detective work, margin targets (25 % residential; 15 % commercial), and the bank-balance myth.
  • Diversifying the Right Way – acquiring Lexi’s Drink Barn, scaling HUD duplexes, and threading Indiana’s liquor-law maze to open Demure Lounge.
  • Coaching Corner – the common blind spots for $500 k–$1 M service firms and Dom’s framework for moving owners from operator to architect.

Stick around for a quick CTA to Paul Giannamore’s Private-Equity Masterclass playlist—and start “playing business” on a bigger board.
