Transform Your Construction Business with The Aspire Business Mastery Program

Are you a Madison contractor facing the same challenges that plague 90% of construction business owners nationwide? You're an expert at your craft, but the business side feels overwhelming. You're working 60+ hour weeks, dealing with constant cash flow stress, and watching your profit margins shrink despite being "busier than ever".

The stark reality is: Most general contractors operate at dangerously low profit margins—often just 2.4% or less. You're risking everything for returns that barely justify the stress, long hours away from family, and the constant worry about making payroll.

But what if there was a proven system to transform your construction expertise into a profitable, scalable business that works without you being the bottleneck?

Discover the Power of Strategic Business Thinking at Our Madison Workshop

Before you commit to a comprehensive business transformation, experience what's possible at our intensive one-day workshop designed specifically for construction business owners. "Where GC Profit Actually Comes From". This workshop reveals why most contractors keep too little profit and exactly how to fix it. Led by industry expert Fred Farris, this one-day workshop addresses the critical gap between being a skilled tradesperson and running a profitable business, covering profit margin mastery, building a strategic construction business model, targeted marketing for quality clients, and systematic workforce development.

You'll learn to understand the true costs of production, identify major profit leaks, manage labor as a perishable resource that expires weekly, and optimize your job mix for maximum returns. The workshop also covers sustainable growth strategies that increase earnings for you and your team with fewer projects, how to attract ideal clients who value your expertise, and systematic hiring processes that build strong teams while reducing your daily involvement as an owner.

Your workshop investment includes a full-day intensive training session with a comprehensive workbook, a one-on-one business analysis session, a custom profit improvement strategy tailored to your specific business needs, and access to proven systems and templates. We guarantee a minimum 3% net profit increase through our systematic approach—not by working harder, but by implementing proven systems that work in today's market conditions.

What makes our approach different?

The Aspire Method™ combines coaching, education, training, and mentorship specifically designed for construction companies. Rather than generic business advice, you get construction-specific solutions that address the unique challenges of managing labor, materials, subcontractors, and client expectations.

Your Business Mastery Program includes:

Show Answer Continuous One-on-One Coaching
Your dedicated coach works shoulder-to-shoulder with you, not waiting for you to call with questions. This isn't typical "call us if you have a question" coaching—you have an active partnership where your coach is always aware of what's happening in your business. Together, you'll implement systematic changes that drive measurable results while making your business easier to manage.
Show Answer Aspire Intelligence System
Proprietary visual management tools that turn your business data into clear, actionable insights. The AI system takes simple input from your construction business and creates powerful visual dashboards that show you exactly what's working, what's not, and why—so you can proactively address issues before they become problems. When you join our program, we customize the AI specifically to your business needs, goals, and style, giving you control of your business from any device, anywhere.
Show Answer In-Person Training Classes
Three-day intensive sessions covering strategy, leadership, financial management, sales, and operations. These classes are held at our headquarters in Sandpoint, Idaho, and you are welcome to bring key team members at no additional cost. The sequential, cumulative curriculum is designed to support and enhance the strategies you're implementing with your coach, covering topics like winning business strategy, competitive differentiation, decision-making, customer segmentation, and succession planning.
Show Answer • Customized Business Tools:
Job costing calculators, cash flow projectors, and labor burden calculators built specifically for your business. These aren't generic templates—they're sophisticated tools that integrate with your specific business model and numbers to provide accurate, actionable data that helps you reach YOUR goals. You'll have access to comprehensive forms, templates, systems, and tools covering everything from estimating and production processes to marketing materials and hiring guides.
