Description

Tim Johnson, President of Tim Johnson Landscaping in Statesville, NC, shares his blueprint for sustainable business growth, detailing his company's journey from a childhood mowing operation to a multimillion-dollar enterprise. After a period of rapid expansion, Tim made the strategic decision to “pump the brakes” for two years to restructure. He discusses the critical importance of building a management team, defining core processes (like implementing EOS), and shifting from “order taker” to a more tactical sales focus. Tim also explains how leveraging technology has allowed the company to scale without dramatically increasing non-revenue-producing headcount.

Join us as we discuss: 

  • [5:11] When Tim realized he needed a proper org chart for sustainable growth

  • [10:23] Rebuilding momentum after a two-year pause in rapid growth to implement scalable systems

  • [17:30] Leveraging tools like Aspire to build frameworks for problem-solving and data visibility
