"My business was treading water and I had no idea how to get to the next level..." 

"APB gave me a road map that when followed, created more profitable opportunities. You helped me implement systems that are the foundation of my business. I signed up for coaching and was fortunate enough to get Leah Ward as my coach. We meet on a regular basis and she is available for questions whenever they arise. My gross revenue for 2026 will be 10 times what I averaged over the past 4 years. Because of this growth I am moving my business out of my house and purchasing a warehouse/ office flex space next month, 3 years ahead of schedule. It has not come easy as I have worked my butt off. I think the key takeaway is that I have put all of my efforts into working with proven systems and perfecting each before moving on to the next. Before working with APB I thought I could only win work by being the low bidder. I now get paid for estimates and my margins have doubled. If you were struggling like me but are serious about growing your business, get involved with APB, sign up for coaching and follow the road map."
