Are you building wealth, or just building a business?
Because for a lot of entrepreneurs, those aren’t the same thing.

In this episode, Garrett unpacks the myths (or “Sacred Cows”) keeping contractors stuck in survival mode.
Listen in to learn how to build a life you don’t want to retire from, all while taking care of your family for generations to come.
If you're looking to build more than just profits—this one’s a game changer.
