In this follow-up episode, Clinton James sits down again with Toby Clem of Restoration Advisers to dive deeper into what it really takes to grow a restoration company that doesn’t depend on the owner.

If your business still runs off memory, gut decisions, and “just figuring it out,” this episode is for you.

Clinton and Toby break down:

• Why running your business from memory will eventually hold you back
• How simple systems (SOPs) can create consistency, better results, and more profit
• The real reason owners struggle to delegate—and how to fix it
• What it takes to develop leaders inside your company
• The mindset shift required to step out of the truck and into true ownership

They also share practical, no-fluff action steps you can start this month:

• Track the right KPIs weekly
• Set a consistent leadership meeting rhythm
• Build your first system around a real pain point

This episode is all about helping restoration owners get unstuck, build stronger teams, and create a business that can grow without them being involved in everything.

Toby also shares details about the Restoration Advisers Montana Business Retreat, happening June 23–24 in Whitefish, Montana.

This is a small, no-vendor, no-pitch mastermind where restoration owners come together to talk through real challenges, share ideas, and learn from each other.

• Open to all restoration owners (not just clients)
• Limited attendance for real conversations
• Focused on your biggest business challenges
• Held near Glacier National Park
