Most restoration business owners enter Q4 feeling behind, scrambling to close jobs, motivate tired teams, and hit annual goals that feel just out of reach. The truth? Waiting until the end of the year to “fix” things is already too late.
What if you could walk into Q4 with total clarity, renewed energy, and a bulletproof strategy to finish the year strong and get a head start on 2026?
That’s what the October Evolve Mastermind is all about.
Led by Alex Duta and a powerhouse lineup of restoration leaders and business growth experts, this immersive three-day experience is designed for owners ready to scale smart, tighten operations, and build a real business, not just a busy job.
