Saving a $1 MILLION Gutter Business from being WIPED OUT!👉 ▶️

This week we visited David in Montana, the owner of Paramount Gutters, who’s doing over $900,000 in annual revenue. But here’s the catch—he’s still floating payroll, stressed about debt, and trying to figure out how to scale without burning out. 🎥 Watch the full turnaround episode. We break down the real numbers, real struggles, and how to fix them.

👉 Here’s what you will learn from the video. I matched it with each stage of business growth ⬇️

🧤Laborer: You're Making $0–$200K Revenue

Role: Hands-On Operator Doing the Work

 â€śI’ve been pulling money from my personal account just to cover payroll.”

In this stage, you're grinding. It’s feast or famine. One month you make $110K, the next you barely scrape by. That was David’s reality—cash flowing through, but nothing sticking.

🔑 Lesson from the episode:

Revenue doesn’t fix cash flow. If you're still doing all the work and floating expenses on credit cards, you don’t have a business—you’ve got a job with debt.

âś… Do this:

Build a winter-proof offer or off-season service so the work—and money—don’t dry up. Even a gutter guard upsell helps flatten seasonality.

📋 Manager: You're Making $200K–$800K Revenue

Role: Team Leader & Day-to-Day Operator

“I couldn’t even keep two crews busy during winter.”

Now you’ve got a team. But you're managing chaos. David had big siding jobs booked, but didn’t want to do them. The team was idle in winter. He was taking whatever came just to stay afloat.

🔑 Lesson from the episode:

Lack of capacity planning and pricing strategy creates burnout. You end up taking jobs you hate—just to keep the lights on.

âś… Do this:

Double down on profitable, repeatable services. Trim the fat. Cut out the big, custom jobs that kill your margin and crew morale.

🏗️ Architect: You're Making $800K+ Revenue

Role: Strategic Leadership & Systems Design
 
“You can double this business with the same crews—just offer winter services.”
This is the unlock. David doesn’t need more jobs—he needs better systems, better offers, and a seasonal strategy. That’s how you grow without hiring or hustling more.

🔑 Lesson from the episode:

You scale with systems, not effort. Offering services year-round turns stress into stability. David could hit $2M with the same team—just by smoothing seasonality.

âś… Do this:

Design for off-season revenue now. Think like a builder, not a firefighter.

“If your business dies every winter, you didn’t build a business—you built a season.”
