From this day on your goal is to hit the 5-million-dollar mark. And once you hit that you are going to hit the 10 million!” Now I went into Foundations thinking I knew so much. It turned out I was so wrong. Over the next 7 days I learned more about my business than I ever had before. I realized my finish line was nowhere near the million-dollar mark.

I created systems I had only dreamed of having. I created some of the best friendships with people who have the same drive and work ethics as myself. After touring Tom’s location and seeing how his operation was set up, it inspired me to continue building my company. I did not even know it was possible to have multiple locations all be run from one primary location! Today I have 3 locations in different cities, and they are all run out of 1 office. We are on point to close 2021 at 2.5 million and I don’t plan on stopping.

Foundations will be my 3rd time going and I guarantee I will learn even more this time. There is so much information to learn and with hard work and dedication you too can level up your company for success. I can’t wait to be inspired again this year at Foundations.
