DISCIPLINED CONTRACTORS DON'T CHASE FREEDOM. THEY LIVE IT.
DISCIPLINED CONTRACTORS DON'T CHASE FREEDOM. THEY LIVE IT.
THE REAL PROBLEM &
THE TRUTH
THE TRUTH
You're not broke. You've got revenue. You've got crews running. You've got work booked out. From the outside, it looks like you've figured it out.
But here's what's eating at you: you're working too hard for what you're keeping. You're overpaying for leads you should be generating yourself. Your marketing agency sends you reports that look impressive, but you can't connect the dots between what you're spending and what's actually hitting your bank account. You know there's money leaking out of your business. You just can't see where.
You're winning. But you know there's another level. And you know you're not going to find it by doing more of what got you here.
You didn't build this business to be a well paid employee of your own company. You built it to be free.

I'm Tom Reber. I've spent the last decade helping contractors stop confusing busy with profitable. I've worked with over 6,000 of you. I've seen the guy doing $2M who can't take a week off. I've seen the guy closing jobs all day who still can't figure out why there's nothing left at the end of the month.
I've been that guy. I built a painting company and ran it into the ground trying to be everything to everyone. I undercharged because I didn't think I was worth more. I said yes to every job because I was scared the phone would stop ringing. I nearly lost my family because my business owned me instead of the other way around.
The problem isn't that you need more work. It's that your systems are bleeding money you've already earned.
Your marketing is leaking. You don't own your lead flow. You're making multiple trips to close a single job. And you don't have the systems in place to fix any of it without working harder.
That ends in Colorado Springs.
I'm bringing in my partner Josh Osborne, one of the sharpest digital marketing and systems minds in the contractor space, and our coach Micah Miller, who has built a system that closes jobs on the first visit and turns every client into a referral machine. Together we're spending two days exposing the gaps in your business and installing the systems that close them.
I'm exposing where your marketing dollars are actually going and it's going to piss you off. I'm showing you how to close the deal on the first visit so you stop wasting time on callbacks that never needed to happen. I'm installing the automation and systems that turn your business into a machine that pays you like an owner.

That's what we're building. Because you didn't leave the field to become a slave to a business. You left to be free.

THE COMMANDER
THE COMMANDER
I grew up in a family of tradesmen. Painters. Tile guys. Blue collar to the bone. I served in the Marine Corps, came home, and built a painting company. And for years I was the guy I'm now trying to help. Talented with the tools, terrible at running a business.
I nearly lost my marriage. I nearly lost my mind. I was working 70 hour weeks and telling myself that's just what it takes. It's not. It takes better systems, better pricing, and the discipline to stop tolerating a business that doesn't serve your life.
I eventually sold that painting company. Since then I've become a partner in multiple businesses, I currently run Simplify Painting, and I've helped over 6,000 contractors install the sales process and pricing strategy that changed everything for me. I built The Contractor Fight® on one principle: contractors don't need more motivation. They need more execution.
I'm taking you through both days. From exposing where you're bleeding profit to building the plan that gets it back. No theory. No corporate BS.
Just the systems that work.
JOSH OSBORNE
JOSH OSBORNE
THE DIGITAL ARCHITECT
THE DIGITAL ARCHITECT
I’m bringing in Joshua T. Osborne because he is one of the few guys I trust to tell contractors the truth about your marketing.
Josh did not learn this in a classroom.
He was given up for adoption at 12 years old, never finished school, worked construction as a kid, and did two stints in prison.
When he got out, he built one of the largest moving companies in Colorado from nothing.
Then he sold it.
Today, Josh owns multiple 7- and 8-figure companies, including businesses in the trades and software.
He owns over 100 lead-generating digital properties and has trained more than 8,000 marketing agencies across the United States, Canada, and the U.K.
So when Josh talks about marketing, he is not guessing.
He knows how the agency game works because he has trained the agencies.
He knows what they measure. He knows what they hide behind.
He knows the difference between a pretty report and a profitable campaign.
And he knows exactly where contractors are getting bled dry.
At Freedom Forge, Josh is going to show you what your marketing is actually costing you.
Not clicks. Not impressions.
Not “brand awareness.” Real numbers.
Cost per lead.
Cost per booked appointment.
Cost per sold job.
What you own. What you are renting.
What is working. What is waste.
And what needs to change if you want to stop depending on people who profit from your confusion.
This is going to be uncomfortable.
And it is going to save contractors a fortune.
MICAH MILLER
MICAH MILLER
THE CLOSER
THE CLOSER
Micah is one of our coaches at The Contractor Fight® and he's built something most contractors don't believe is possible until they see it. A system that closes the deal on the first visit. Not by being pushy. Not by discounting. By designing the entire client experience so the homeowner is ready to say yes before you ever sit down at the table.
He's also built a client care system that turns every finished job into the next three jobs. Referrals, reviews, and repeat business on autopilot. Not because he's charming. Because he built a system for it.
Micah is going to show you both. How to stop making multiple trips to close a single job. And how to turn every client you've already served into a revenue generating asset for life.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE WALKING OUT WITH

THE MARKETING OWNERSHIP BLUEPRINT
THE MARKETING OWNERSHIP BLUEPRINT
Josh is going to show you exactly what it looks like to own your lead generation instead of renting it. You'll see where your current spend is leaking, what to fix immediately, and how to build assets that get cheaper over time instead of more expensive.
THE ONE VISIT CLOSE
THE ONE VISIT CLOSE
Micah is going to hand you the system that eliminates second and third visits. You'll learn how to design, budget, and sell on a single site visit so you stop burning hours on callbacks that never needed to happen. More jobs closed in less time with less effort.

THE CLIENT CARE MACHINE
THE CLIENT CARE MACHINE
Micah is going to show you how to turn every completed job into a referral and review generating system. No more hoping clients remember you. No more waiting for word of mouth. A system that does it for you.

2:30PM: JOSH: THE MARKETING AUDIT + LIVE HOT SEATS
This is the session everyone will be talking about after. Josh is going to pull guys on stage, project their actual websites, Google profiles, and ad campaigns on screen, and tear them apart live. He'll show the room exactly where the money is going and it's not where your agency told you. If you've ever wondered whether your marketing company is earning their fee, you're about to find out.
4PM: JOSH & TOM: OWNING YOUR DIGITAL REAL ESTATE
4PM: JOSH & TOM: OWNING YOUR DIGITAL REAL ESTATE
Josh shifts from what's broken to what ownership looks like. Real examples. Real numbers. Real contractors who stopped renting their leads and started owning the machine. Tom connects it to the bigger picture. Because owning your leads without owning your systems is just expensive noise.

9AM: JOSH: THE 90 DAY OPTIMIZATION PLAN
Josh gives you the exact blueprint for the next 90 days. Days 1 through 30: tighten the foundation and stop the waste. Days 31 through 60: launch campaigns that target people actively searching for a contractor right now. Days 61 through 90: automate the follow up and recover the 20% of revenue you're currently losing from unsold estimates.​​​​​​​
10:30AM: MICAH: A QUICKER CLOSE: DESIGN, BUDGET, and SELL WITH ONLY ONE SITE VISIT
10:30AM: MICAH: A QUICKER CLOSE: DESIGN, BUDGET, and SELL WITH ONLY ONE SITE VISIT
Micah shows you the system that eliminates the second and third visit. How to design, present, and close on the spot. Not by being pushy. By building a process so dialed in that the homeowner is ready to decide before you ever pull out the estimate. More jobs closed. Less windshield time. More margin kept.​​​​​​​
11:30AM: TOM: THE BUSINESS YOU ACTUALLY WANT
11:30AM: TOM: THE BUSINESS YOU ACTUALLY WANT
I'm going to get real about what most contractors won't admit. You built a business that's making money but it's not giving you what you actually wanted when you started. We're going to talk about what needs to change structurally so your business serves your life instead of consuming it.

Eat. Process. Get ready for the afternoon. Lunch Provided.
1:30PM: MICAH: PAY IT FORWARD: A SYSTEM FOR CLIENT CARE
1:30PM: MICAH: PAY IT FORWARD: A SYSTEM FOR CLIENT CARE
Micah shows you how to turn every completed job into a referral and review machine. A system that generates repeat business and word of mouth without you lifting a finger after the job is done. This is the revenue most contractors leave on the table because they don't have a process for it.
2:30PM: JOSH: SYSTEMS OVER SWEAT
2:30PM: JOSH: SYSTEMS OVER SWEAT
Josh demonstrates the automation stack that buys back your time. Instant lead response, automated scheduling, follow up sequences, and review requests. He'll teach you the only 5 metrics that matter and give you a clear framework for deciding whether to keep your agency or fire them.

The room holds you accountable.
