Episode Details

Are you spending so much time managing the day-to-day of your remodeling business that you rarely have a chance to focus on where you're actually taking it?

This week, Kyle sits down with Victor Lebegue of VL Builders in Lakewood, Colorado, to talk about how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) has helped him build a more organized business with a team that's working toward the same goals.

Victor shares what he's learned from years of implementing EOS, including how his company uses scorecards to measure performance, why clearly defined core values matter, and how quarterly goals keep important improvements from getting pushed aside when business gets busy. He also shares specific metrics VL Builders tracks and why you don't need to implement every part of EOS at once to start seeing results.

Kyle and Victor also discuss what happens when your business starts running smoothly enough that you can step back, work fewer hours, and actually enjoy the freedom you've worked so hard to create.

Whether you're just starting to build your team or looking for more structure in an established company, this episode offers practical ideas you can start putting to work in your remodeling business.
