EPISODE 350: Is it really possible to double your revenue while cutting your work hours in half? Jacob Richmond didn’t believe it–until he made it happen.

In this week’s episode, I interview Jacob Richmond, owner of Richmond Construction, a general contracting company based in Washington specializing in custom homes and large additions.

Today, Jacob shares his journey from a labor-intensive role in commercial construction to becoming a strategic business owner who’s nearly doubled his revenue while cutting his work hours in half.

He recounts how a motorcycle accident and a lack of business systems in his early ventures led him to enroll in our Systematize Your Construction Business (SYCB) program.

Listen in as Jacob explains how implementing systems and processes allowed him to delegate effectively, focus on strategic growth, and achieve work-life balance.

If you’re ready to take your business to the next level without sacrificing your personal life, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
