Finding Support through the Struggles with Steve Dale

Steve Dale is the author of The Profitable Contractor and we’re delighted to have him with us as our guest today!

As you will hear from Steve, working more hours does not necessarily correlate to making more money; in fact, many times, it’s quite the opposite. He also shares the value he gained in being coached, what he learned through Pumpkin Planning, and how Tap the Potential introduced him to a better way of running his business.

Please join us in this conversation to hear about the successful pivots that Steve learned to make in his business that ultimately inspired him to write his book. There is much to learn here!

Steve Dale is a contractor, entrepreneur, and author who has run a residential remodeling business for thirteen years. He graduated from Lewis-Clark State College with a business degree and is a certified Pumpkin Plan Strategy coach.

Steve combines a strong business foundation with an insider’s understanding of what it takes to run a successful remodeling company. He transformed his own business using these skills, which fueled his passion for helping other contractors learn how to run a thriving business while still having a life outside of work.

He lives in Lewiston, Idaho, with his wife and three children. In his free time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, exploring the great outdoors, and spending quality time with loved ones. You can learn more about Steve and his book here.
