The Hamster Wheel Of Growth

Many business owners stay stuck in “growth mode,” chasing more trucks, more equipment, and more jobs. But without a clear finish line, growth can become a trap. I have seen many business owners grow, grow, and grow... only to burnout and never realize profitability.

Here’s how to make the switch to profit mode:

Set a Finish Line: Growth mode has a goal—getting your business to capacity. After that, shift your focus to profitability.

Profit Mode Defined: Stop buying trucks or equipment and start raising prices. Once you’re operating at capacity, every extra dollar from price increases becomes profit.

The Augusta Model in Action: At Augusta locations, the strategy is simple. Grow to $500K in revenue, then raise prices over the next three years. The goal: $800K in revenue with $200K in profit. Once the system is dialed in, it’s rinse and repeat.

Don’t let endless growth drain your cash flow. Define your finish line, switch to profit mode, and scale sustainably.

Make the leap to profitability!
