Million Dollar Service Startup: Step by Systems to Grow Your Service Company To $1,000,000

Are you a technician, tradesman, or service pro who wants to build a real business-but feels stuck on how to get from "one truck" to your first $1,000,000 in revenue?

Million Dollar Service Startup: Step-by-Step Systems to Grow Your Service Company to $1,000,000 is a no-fluff playbook for starting and scaling a profitable service business, written by someone who actually did it. John Michael McDonald Jr built Fabtech Solutions from a one-man operation into a seven-figure company, learning the hard way so you don't have to.

Instead of theory, this book gives you clear systems, numbers, and scripts you can put to work immediately. You'll learn how to:

• Think like an owner, not just a tech, and become the kind of leader people want to follow.

• Build simple, repeatable marketing that goes beyond "word of mouth" and keeps your phone ringing.

• Know when to hire, who to look for, and how to onboard new team members so they actually stick.

• Handle the hardest part of leadership-when and how to fire-without blowing up your culture.

• Attract and keep top-tier talent with clear career paths and performance-driven pay.

• Create a lean employee handbook, systems, and policies that keep everyone on the same page.

• Track the few key numbers-leads, jobs, profit, cash-that tell you if your business is truly healthy.

• Price your services so every job pays for labor, overhead, and real profit instead of just keeping you busy.

Each chapter ends with practical steps, what to measure, and reflection questions, so you always know exactly what to do next in your business. Whether you're still on the tools or already running a small crew, this book will show you how to:

• Escape the owner-operator grind.

• Build a team you trust.

• Turn chaos into systems.

• Grow a service company that takes care of your family and your future.

If you're ready to stop guessing, start measuring, and finally build the million-dollar service startup you've been thinking about, this book is your roadmap.
