The Challenge of Change

Have you ever felt like you’re not quite where you want to be in your business? Maybe your dreams and goals feel just out of reach. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and here’s the good news: you’re not stuck. Everything you want is possible, but it requires one crucial thing: change.

Why Change Holds Us Back
As business owners, we often get comfortable with the way we’ve always done things. We think if we just keep grinding, we’ll get there eventually. But what if the way you’ve been doing things isn’t the path to your goals? Change is challenging because it requires us to step outside of our comfort zones and try something new. The real trick to success isn’t finding a magic formula; it’s being willing to learn, grow, and, yes, change.

A Personal Story of Growth
When I, Mike Menges, founder of The Remodeling Academy, started out, I didn’t have all the answers. I made my share of mistakes, but I approached each failure as an opportunity to learn. For example, when I hired the wrong person or encountered a difficult client, I didn’t just blame them. Instead, I asked myself what I could learn to avoid similar mistakes in the future. This approach of self-reflection and growth became the foundation of my business.

Success doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly right away. It comes from being committed to learning and improving. Each failure taught me valuable lessons that helped me build my business and, eventually, help others build theirs.

Embracing Failure as a Part of Success
Here’s a mindset shift that changed everything for me: failure isn’t just part of the process—it’s essential. You can’t improve without taking risks, making mistakes, and learning from them. Every time I tried something new, even when it didn’t work out, it added to my understanding of what it takes to succeed in this industry. The same is true for you. When you’re willing to try, fail, and learn, you set yourself up for growth.

The Remodeling Academy: Helping You Reach the Next Level
If you’re ready to make a change, The Remodeling Academy is here to help. We offer industry-specific frameworks designed to simplify the path to success. With courses, coaching, and two unique tracks—the Rebel program and the Renegade program—you’ll have access to the tools and support you need to level up.

Rebel Program: For remodelers aiming to reach $1 million in revenue, this program introduces foundational concepts and strategies.
Renegade Program: For those looking to grow to multi-million-dollar revenue levels, this track focuses on scaling, refining systems, and empowering teams to drive growth.
We also offer masterclasses, like “Fixer’s Fortune” for aspiring handymen and “Hanging Dough” for kitchen remodeling businesses. Plus, our custom kitchen measuring application, Meazio, streamlines one of the most critical parts of your work. No other resource provides the comprehensive support we offer.

Are You Ready to Embrace Change?
So, here’s my challenge to you: Are you ready to change? To admit that maybe, just maybe, there’s more to learn? Because if you haven’t reached all your goals yet, there’s something new to discover. Growth is on the other side of the change you’ve been resisting.

If you’re ready to take the next step, let us guide you. We’re here to support your journey, help you overcome obstacles, and provide the resources to transform your business and life.
