I Had To Lose It All To Grow - Jon Vanarthos - Gemini Home Remodeling
Many of us have tried to scale our company but struggle to find reliable employees or subcontractors. We fail to be able to trust them to complete the work orders we provide. We feel as if we are the only ones capable of doing the project correctly and to the standards that the client expects. I can tell you that you will never scale past you and a crew or two if you feel this way and can't let go.
Jon Vanarthos owns and operates Gemini Home Remodeling in Fairless Hills, PA. He was always hands on in his company giving 150% with 13 employees until March 20th, 2020. He was T-Boned on his motorcycle moving at 45 MPH by a driver that wasn't paying attention. Jon was told he would never work again and had an 80% chance he wouldn't be able to move his leg again, and his spine was fused together. He was so scared that he lived in the hospital for 3 months. Ultimately, it led to the business being closed for an entire year, and a GoFundMe that raised $9000 to keep him afloat to some extent.
Fast forward a few years and Jon is walking, raising a family, running a business with four employees and enjoys more free time now than he ever has. Listen in to this week's episode of the Floor Academy Podcast as we learn about how Jon had to let go in order to learn how to fully grow his company and regain his freetime instead of being a slave to his company.
