Read what your piers have to say about our programs. If you’re experiencing the same issues with your business, learn more about how CBS can help you improve your business and your life.
What drove me to contact Contractor’s Business School was an article in a trade magazine. My business had reached a point where it felt as though I was driving a run away train. It never stopped and I had no time for myself, only time to prevent the next derailment. Of course changing yourself is not always the easiest thing to do so progress has been incremental but it is happening. I think when we are done with the CBS program I will have a better organization and I will have my life back.

I knew where I wanted to take the business, but on my own I was having trouble getting there. I was getting bogged down in the day-to-day and unable to stay focused on the long term. I was wearing too many hats and being pulled in too many directions doing menial tasks that should be done by someone else.
CBS helped me to get my arms around my business, and the coaching concept really worked for me. I’d been in business 20 years and gotten comfortable with the status quo. CBS pushed me out of my rut and got me thinking about and applying the things I never seemed able to get around to. Now, my guys proactively do things (like washing trucks). By putting processes in place, they know what’s expected of them, and are more likely to do it.

The business was running because I was there, watching and making sure the employees and everyone did their jobs. But I know that if my sons took over, we needed to create systems to ease my departure from the business. The CBS process has been both challenging and exciting for all of us,” says John. The CBS system made sense, created a positive vision for the company and gave everyone something to work toward. It was just what we needed to move the business to the next level.
Now, our overall communication is better. We make time for meetings and talk about big picture issues. We’ve gotten employees to take on new things; sometimes things they were not willing to do in the past. Everyone is more focused; we all work on same page rather than going in four different directions.
