The One Hour Contractor wasn't created in a boardroom. It was built from decades of owning, operating, growing, and helping service businesses succeed. Along the way, we learned why most contractors stay broke despite strong revenue — and how to fix it.
We created the tools and community we wish every contractor had access to when we were building our own companies. Today, that includes the Trade Circle Network referral network and a complete contractor pricing for profit guide.
Built from Real Experience
Every system, tool, and template in The One Hour Contractor was forged from years of owning, operating, and growing service businesses — not from a textbook or a boardroom.
Tools and calculators built specifically for the way service businesses actually run — pricing, cash flow, labor burden, and job profit.
Every template, SOP, and framework is designed for trades and field service — not generic business advice repackaged for contractors.
Todd Shillington's decades of real business ownership, operations, and leadership inform every recommendation and system you'll use.
