“Buy, Build, or Burnout? Inside the Mind of a Home Service Acquirer”

This week on the Home Service Hustle, host Jonathan Bannister sits down with acquisition entrepreneur and business growth strategist Tron Pham to break down what every home service business owner needs to know before selling, scaling, or stepping away.

🔑 In this episode:

• How to grow through acquisition vs. organically
• Why systems and processes determine your company’s value
• The five stages of exit (and why most owners only think of the last one)
• What private equity really looks for in a home service company
• The truth about roll-ups and why not every deal is a slam dunk
• Why recurring revenue (yes, your club memberships) might be the golden ticket
• How to prep your business 1 to 3 years out for a maximum exit

If you're thinking about retiring, selling, or even just scaling — this is the blueprint you didn’t know you needed.

🎯 Mindset. Marketing. Money.
