Welcome to OWNR OPS 🤝 The mission here is simple: Help blue‑collar owner‑operators build 7‑figure businesses with real systems. Not more random tips. Not more motivational quotes. We've built a real operating system that turns Operators into OWNRS — and we're sharing it inside the Classroom Section to help you grow your own business 🤝 I'm going to outline your next steps so you can get the most out of this group based on where you're at right now. 1. What stage of business are you right now? Inside OWNR OPS we split people into three stages: - Starter – guys starting out doing $0–$20k/month - Operator – Doing roughly $20k–$80k/month - OWNR – $80k–$100k+/month with systems This group is built to move people up that ladder. 2. There are two paths inside this group If you’re a Starter (0–$20k/month): Your job is to use the Free Classroom Trainings to build a solid base. Go to the Classroom and complete OPS Kickstarter. This will help you: ✅ Dial in your pricing ✅ Set up your basic lead gen system ✅ Start closing jobs ✅ Build your basic weekly rhythm Use the tools and trainings in here to get yourself into that $20k–$40k/month Operator band. Once you’re there, we can talk about Accelerator. If you’re an Operator ($20k–$80k/month): This is who OPS Accelerator is built for. Go to the OPS Accelerator – Info lesson in the Classroom. I’ll walk you through the 16‑week implementation plan to install the OWNR Operating System in your business. If it sounds like what you need, fill out the application linked under that lesson or click here ➡️ https://start.ownrops.com OPS Accelerator is a paid, high‑touch program for Operators who are serious about moving toward 7 Figures Annually (or $80k–$100k+ months during busy season) with real systems and support. What to do right now: - Pick your stage (honestly) in the poll below: Starter, Operator, or OWNR - Follow the path above. - Use the free trainings, tools, and community. - When you’re ready for help building the full OWNR system, apply for OPS Accelerator

Is your business growth in your head (for only you) or on paper (so your team knows what you're marching towards)? One of the first things I did was outline a 'North Star' plan for how our organization would look once we matured. Today, I'm doing many of these roles. It is tedious to switch from a sales call, to payroll, to scheduling, to recruiting and back to outbound cold email. But, the goal is not to be doing these roles. The goal is to build systems for others to be doing the work. With additional growth (e.g. make more $$$) someone else will fill the role. Our first full time salaried role was the District Manager. As of October 1, we filled our 'Ops Lead' with a Field Operations Supervisor. This is the difference between working ON the business vs. IN the business.

Hey all, I'm needing some guidance on how to do "Market Research" for a service. I have a personal skid loader for projects around my place. I am wanting to start doing some side work but I'm not sure where the need is at? We have several excavation and smaller owner/ ops in the area. I live in a rural/ ag led area where everyone has a tractor and bucket. I'm wanting to get specific. Nearest rental is over 30 minutes away one way so I'd like to invest in the attachments as needed so I can start promoting the service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google reviews are a moat for my small business. So when we got a 2-star review, I was triaging within 2 minutes. How? 1. I have an automation set up (thanks, Zapier) so all google reviews are sent to our Slack. 2. I dug through customer data in our CRM to cross-reference the customer name. 3. When we had no exact matches, my teammate and I looked through all the 'Michael's' we had serviced and reviewed their last service and if they were satisfied. And at the end of it all, this person never even used our service... Small business is where customer obsession, bias for action, and deep dive all meet to be a perfect storm of something we can't control anyways. Here's my reply.. since all I could do was laugh about it and move on. You all ever have this happen?
