Double Your Profit Day #26 You Won't Believe How EASY it is to Multiply Your Winners
Welcome to Day 26 of the Double Your Profit Series
The go-to series for contractors, home service owners, and small business entrepreneurs. Today’s lesson is the natural follow-up to yesterday’s topic of Cut Complexity. Once you trim what doesn’t work, the next step is simple: Multiply Your Winners. Why Multiplying Winners Matters
Too often, owners keep dragging along departments or services that look big on top-line revenue but secretly ruin margins. The real growth hack is cutting what’s unproductive and doubling down on what’s already winning.
In other words: do less, but do way more of the less.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How to identify the “dogs” in your business that drain profit and energy
Why reallocating resources from losers to winners accelerates growth
The Pareto Principle in action: focus on the 20% that drives 80% of results
Real-world example: cutting an unprofitable new construction arm to scale a thriving plumbing service department

⚙️ The Big Picture
The fastest way to scale isn’t always adding more — it’s multiplying what already works. Winners compound when you fuel them with focus, resources, and intentional growth. But you won’t know your true winners without accurate data to guide the decisions.
🔥 Think of this episode as your playbook for cloning success and letting go of the rest.
