Summary

On this episode of the Jered Williams Show, host Jered Williams and guest Eddie Barkhurst explain how to grow a plumbing business without loans, investors, or partners by pricing services from day one as if the company already has three technicians, building cash reserves to survive the "Valley of Despair" stages when overhead rises before revenue, treating vehicle debt as an asset, focusing on residential service work, and consistently spending on targeted marketing to generate enough high-ticket calls that the business cash-flows itself through every growth step.
