Most construction businesses never expand outside of their own market and community. While this strategy may provide you a decent living it limits your ability to scale dramatically.

In this episode, Blair McDaniel, owner of Alair Homes, joins us to reveal how you can scale your business so it makes money without you being the one wearing all of the hats.

He’s created the Ultimate Business Model. A model that creates the most valuable, lowest risk, most rewarding custom home building and remodeling businesses in the world.   

Show highlights include:

  • How transparency allows you to charge what your worth and remove uncertainty from your projects (8:44) 
  • Why the “build and they’ll come” business model can quickly bankrupt your business (even if it’s been successful so far) (10:46) 
  • Controlled growth builds a stronger long-term business than growing it as fast as you can (11:35) 
  • The “Mastermind Concept” that multiplies your business’s growth at warp speed (18:53) 
  • How to take an entire year off business without your business crashing and burning (19:48) 
  • The “Must Haves” that help you effortlessly scale your business into other markets (45:45)
