It’s about understanding where your foundation is weak so you can fix the right things, in the right order, and build a business that’s profitable, sustainable, and doesn’t depend entirely on you.Show NotesRunning a roofing business without regularly auditing it is like driving without a dashboard — you might be moving fast, but you don’t really know where you’re headed.In this episode, Dave Sullivan breaks down the Roofing Business Success Audit, a practical tool built specifically for roofing contractors and home service business owners.
