Bonus Episode: If I Started Over Tomorrow
If you could start over tomorrow — knowing everything you know right now — what would you actually do differently?
In this episode Craig Eubanks gets real about the five things he would change from day one if he had to build Eubanks Fencing from scratch. No fluff. No theory. Just the honest lessons that took years to learn and could save you from learning them the hard way.
Topics covered:
Why locking in supplier relationships before anything else changes everything The fixed cost versus variable cost decision that keeps contractors alive through slow seasons Why starting social media on day one is not optional — it is a competitive advantage How networking and showing up at industry events like FenceTech pays off in ways you cannot predict Why getting trained fast through AFA University or local programs builds the confidence that closes more jobs The real reason 48% of small businesses fail — and how to avoid it Whether you are just starting out or have been building for years — this one is going to make you think about what you would do differently and what you can still change right now.
