## Resource

Join us on this episode of Contractor Stories as we dive into the inspiring journey of Nathan Shafer, the driving force behind Shafer Heating and Cooling. Growing up in a family business founded by his father and grandfather, Nathan's path wasn't always clear-cut. Originally considering a career in medicine, he ultimately embraced his roots in the HVAC industry. Learn how this family business, which began as Shafer Mobile Home Service, evolved into a successful heating and cooling enterprise, thanks to Nathan's leadership and vision. Facing burnout from wearing too many hats, Nathan reveals how hiring a coach transformed his business and personal life. By focusing on working on the business rather than in it, he helped Shafer Heating and Cooling reach new heights, making the Inc. 5000 list twice. Nathan's journey highlights the importance of mentorship and continual growth, not only in business but also in life. Now, Nathan shares his expertise by coaching other business owners, helping them implement effective systems and achieve their dreams. Discover why he believes business is a sport, requiring the right coaching to succeed, and learn how he balances his drive for success with family life and community involvement.
