In this episode of Remodelers on the Rise, Kyle talks with contractor and business coach, Larry Janeski, about what it takes to grow a remodeling company. They cover the shift from doing all the work yourself to becoming a true team builder, plus hiring systems, performance-based pay, and the mindset and structure needed to move out of survival mode and into a business that runs through people and processes.
