Manage episode 484270650 series 3667281
96% of contractors go out of business within 10 years — but it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, we talk with Brad Huebner, founder of Hammer & Grind and a former remodeler turned full-time coach, about what’s really holding most tradespeople back from building sustainable, profitable businesses. (Hint: it’s not just pricing.)
Brad shares his journey from the Marine Corps to construction management to coaching contractors full time—and the hard lessons learned along the way.
What You'll Learn:
- The #1 reason most contractors fail (and how to fix it)
- Why niching down is the most profitable move a contractor can make
- The sales skills every builder needs—even if they hate “selling”
- What mindset shifts unlock pricing power and better clients
