Business Planning Bootcamp

What if you could have the time, money, and freedom that you’ve always wanted? Join us for an exclusive opportunity to dissect your unique business and create a roadmap to a higher quality of life. As a business owner, you deserve that!
In the first half of this one-day workshop, you will create a detailed review of your company’s capabilities, financial position, and the markets that you serve. After lunch we will answer these questions:
- How much revenue do I need per day to not lose money?
- How much revenue do I need to average per day to generate 15% net profit?
- How do I get my employees to get on the same page? Or get them to think like I think?
- When to hire the next tech, installation crew, salesperson?
- Call backs are killing me… If I hold techs accountable, will we have anyone left to run service calls?
- If I punish installers for not doing their job correctly, will we run the risk of having no installers?
- How do I determine who should be a manager in the company?
- How do I afford the overhead when a manager comes into the company?
- How can I control the parking lot meetings?
- How can I change my role from problem solving 24/7, to leading a company where most issues are resolved before they get to me? Is that possible?
- How can I take my family on an uninterrupted vacation and have confidence that all will be well when I get home?
Many contractors have the answers to the above questions and are having a great low pressure professional life. They all started with a workshop and/or mentor that answered these questions.
You could leave this class with an established plan and a detailed process to facilitate success so you can have the time, money, and freedom you deserve! Register today! Don’t miss your chance to attend this dynamic workshop!

1ST ANNUAL TEE OFF FOR THE TRADES GOLF TOURNAMENT

Join us for the 1st Annual Tee Off For The Trades Golf Tournament, co-hosted by Women in HVACR, to raise awareness and contributions in support of our two nonprofit organizations. The tournament is an 18-hole, 4-person best ball competition, taking place in Las Vegas in conjunction with Contractor University’s EPIC2023 Event.
Philanthropy
Women in HVACR and the EGIA Foundation share a common mission: uplifting the home services trades and creating a better future for our industry, our community, our customers and our world. Tee Off for the Trades is the preeminent HVAC golf tournament, supporting both organizations and their goals — raising funds to improve the industry workforce and the lives of its workers, as well as connecting more people to rewarding career paths in the trades. Both organizations are 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so every dollar donated is tax-deductible and funds a better future.
Networking
As the official HVAC golf tournament of EPIC2023, the year’s most anticipated in-person educational event for home services contractors, Tee Off for the Trades is one of the premier destinations for contractors, distributors, manufacturers and businesses serving the industry to come together in an informal environment. Over the course of 18 holes, you’ll get opportunities to create new relationships, find that partner you’ve been looking for, or trade blueprints and secrets with likeminded people who have been in your shoes before.
Fun
Despite earning its four-letter-word status, golf is all about the experience! Angel Park is a top tier, destination Las Vegas golf course for players of all skill-levels. A variety of contests and side-games – from putting and long-drive contests to skins games and a hole-in-one-challenge – ensure there’s something for everyone at Tee Off for the Trades.

Keynote Presentation – TURNING PASSION INTO PURPOSE
Presenter: David Garibaldi

Ten minutes. That’s how long it takes for David Garibaldi to transform a blank canvas into a work of art. Artists transform an empty canvas into a work of art through their skill, experience, inspiration and senses. David Garibaldi’s life and transition into a world-renowned performance painter is no different. Garibaldi has built himself and his brand from a graffiti artist on the streets, to a world-famous creator starring on America’s Got Talent, opening up for KISS’s farewell tour, and appearing at NBA All-Star Weekend and in sports arenas around the country.
In this session, paint, sound, and entertainment collide for an entertaining show that has brought people around the world to their feet. While going through his transformative process of bringing art to life in front of your very eyes, he’ll also touch on poignant lessons for you as a person and an entrepreneur.

Presenter: John C. Maxwell

The most effective individuals know how to connect with people. It’s not about power or popularity, but about making the people around you feel heard, comfortable, and understood. While it may seem like some folks are born with a commanding presence that draws people in, the fact is anyone can learn to communicate in ways that consistently build powerful connections. Your ability to achieve results in any organization is directly tied to the skills in your toolbox. Connecting is an easy-to-learn skill you can apply today in your personal, professional, and family relationships to start living your best life.

Closing Keynote Presentation – Believe In Yourself and Your Team Will Believe In You
Presenter: Steve Young

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young shares his own personal experiences and the life lessons he’s learned over the years through his experiences – including overcoming physical injury and emotional disappointment and taking pride in all achievements regardless of the reactions of others.
In this and powerful yet heartfelt keynote, the backup quarterback turned Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion shares with audiences how to persevere through the rough times and realize that it takes a team effort to be successful. You’ll learn from Steve’s experiences on how to lead a team by example – and how leadership means trusting others to execute their role, not doing it all yourself.
