Now, today we’re talking about a myth I hear all the time that the right tools are the secret to success. Don’t get me wrong, I love a shiny new sprayer or a truck that turns heads, but here’s the truth: tools don’t build businesses. People do.
Today we’re talking about something every contractor deals with sooner or later... storms. And I don’t just mean the Florida thunderheads that sneak up on you halfway through a sealing job. I’m talking about all the storms that hit your business: broken equipment, slow seasons, tough customers, and those weeks where everything feels like it’s stacked against you.
