This is the last episode in our deep dive series on Million Dollar Contracting — and we’re finishing where real growth actually happens:

People.

In this final conversation, Kim Hopkins breaks down how to:

• Attract quality employees (without begging)
• Hire the right people — not just available bodies
• Build a team that thinks like owners
• Retain great employees for the long haul
• Create customer success that drives repeat business and referrals

Here’s the reality:You don’t scale a contracting business with hustle alone.You scale it with systems, profit structure, and a team that actually cares.

Kim shares how he built a long-term, profitable electrical company with low turnover, strong culture, and customers who keep coming back.

If you’re tired of constant hiring cycles, unreliable techs, and carrying the whole company on your back — this episode is your blueprint.

We’re back with another no-BS episode in our Million Dollar Contracting book series—and this one hits where it hurts: getting paid.

Author and 40+ year Operator Kim Hopkins returns in Episode 171 to break down:

• How he went from losing $80K at a time to collecting every penny
• The common collection mistakes that bleed your bottom line
• What to do when a GC, management company, or homeowner stalls (spoiler: it’s not small claims court)

He’s been burned, bounced back, and built a system that works.

If you’ve ever had to chase down a payment, you’ll want to hear this.
