Fred Mancuso walked away from a successful career as a Chef and built FM Contracting in Chicago, IL. This interview is about how he moved from using a paint brush as a side job to running a real general contracting business with systems, subs, and large projects. We discuss his experience at our Annual Planning Retreat last year and how what he learned lead to doubling his revenue in just a year.
• moving from labor to leadership
• learning to leverage subcontractors
• building systems for estimates and agreements
• scheduling site time with intent
• creating a predictable pipeline
• preparing for first project manager hire
• targeting consistent six-figure months
