Most home service companies don't fail from a lack of opportunity — they fail because they lose focus.
Tommy sits down with Yarin Gaon, a growth advisor who has mentored over 397 businesses through Chicago and SCORE and helped company after company break through the $1M–$10M plateau.
Yarin's framework is built on one core idea: the path of least resistance always wins. In this episode you'll learn:
— Why your current business model might not be the version worth scaling
— How to find the 20% of your operation driving 80% of your profit
— The growth canvas replacing vision traction organizers for home service leaders
— What "path of least resistance" actually looks like applied to your business
— Why you need to pause before your next quarterly session and design Version 2 Yarin's free playbook: fractional.partners
— no lead magnet, no catch. Just the framework.
