Nik Palladino
Ryan Lermitte
Van City Electric
Chris O'Donohue
Brad Gordon
Mike Van Capelle
Nik and Sam started painting houses to pay their way through college. Growth brought along serious challenges, though. Their business had matured, and headcount had grown, but their systems hadn't. After a few years of turning away work they couldn't get to, they realized they needed to overhaul their systems—badly.
By implementing a Strategic Plan, Goal Setting and Review (GSR) meetings, and an effective tech stack, Ryan was able to automate and delegate his way to a more strategic role in the company.
When VanCity Electric owner Cory Byron first joined Breakthrough Academy, he was struggling to make his business profitable. The company was growing.
Uncover how Chris O'Donohue of Great Canadian Landscaping grew his profits and got his time back.
With the help of Breakthrough Academy, Brad has implemented high-impact business systems, including an organizational chart, employment agreements, and ideal candidate profiles to improve hiring.
Like most builders, Mike Van Capelle started his entrepreneurial journey with a passion for quality construction and the guts to take the plunge.

Jason Hoke
Like most builders, Mike Van Capelle started his entrepreneurial journey with a passion for quality construction and the guts to take the plunge. A few years later, though, he was pulling his hair out.
Forest Street Builders’ first few years were rocky. Ian was the classic "One-Man Band," estimating, selling, project managing, forming, framing, finishing—he was doing ALL THE THINGS.
Scraping together every dollar to his name (and then some) Jason acquired A Cut Above Landscape from his previous employer. To say his first few years were a "grind" would be a gross understatement.

Jon Drew
Jon Drew always wanted to work for himself, and when he started Refined Exteriors with a long-time friend, he knew he'd made the right choice. But, the growth of the company led to new challenges.

Cory Byron
When VanCity Electric owner Cory Byron first joined Breakthrough Academy, he was struggling to make his business profitable. The company was growing and the work kept coming, but without understanding the ins and outs of budgeting, job costing or financial controls, Cory found himself doing side jobs outside the business just to make ends meet.
Hashtag Plumbing
Brent and Chloë Mooney
From the outside, Hashtag Plumbing owners Brent and Chloë Mooney were running a successful 6-figure plumbing business. On the inside, things felt a lot more hectic. Brent wore every hat in the business. One time, he worked 68 hours in a 3 day period. When they found themselves with $1MM in revenue and no money in the bank, Brent and Chloë knew it was time to ask for help.
Built by contractors,
for contractors
When it comes to business content, coaching, and community, North American contractors have been underserved for a very long time.
High-quality business education for the construction and trades industries was nonexistent, and there needed to be somewhere for the smartest among us to congregate and learn from each other.
Our experience as blue-collar entrepreneurs combined with our extensive background in franchising uniquely equipped us to develop, test, and perfect a business system specifically for construction and trades.
So, we built The Contractor Growth Method™
to help us accomplish it.
Being in this community has allowed me access to ideas and best practices through the mastermind events and our regular biweekly pods, where we have the chance to exchange ideas amongst our peers, problem-solve, and set goals to implement what is needed. My business today is light years ahead of where it was 5 years ago, and BTA and the community I am a part of has had a huge hand in that.
We have always been always great with our customer service and product knowledge. However, what we were lacking were back end processes such as financials, marketing, recruitment, hiring, goal setting and review, and planning for profit rather than growth for the sake of gowing. My company joined BTA about 2 years ago and it has changed our business tremendously. It has resulted in not just growing our business but growing with a healthy and sustainable plan.
Being a Member of BTA has helped our painting business tremendously. It has eliminated the chaos we had in our company. We have learned many systems, from finance, sales, recruiting and training of personnel, and many more. Being a Member has also giving us the opportunity to be part of a community of contractors that are willing to share best practices and overall knowledge.
“Before BTA, I was working 80 hours a week but not going where I wanted to be. BTA has changed my business and outlook on what I need to be doing with my time, and now I’m working under 40 hours a week!”
“Prior to joining BTA, we did just under a million dollars in revenue with myself and another salesperson. And then this year with just myself, we will be doubling our revenue overall to about two million.”
“Before BTA, I actually lived on a pull-out couch in my office. It was a really stressful time My life has changed significantly since that initial year prior to BTA. Rather than fighting to stay above water, I'm focused on how I'm going to create the next wave.”
