   David McKenna, President and CEO of Good Tidings Comfort

   David McKenna is a second generation Master Plumber and owner of Good Tidings Comfort. If you are interested in starting your own franchising business, how one begins that massive undertaking, listen in to today's show. Dave goes into detail about how he got started as a plumber in New Jersey, how he had to take a step back and rebuild his career, and what it takes to level up from a struggling contractor to a forward thinker on the verge of taking "The Good Tidings Way" Conversion franchise nationwide. Check out Dave's website (https://goodtidingscomfort.com/)! From his about section: My name is Dave McKenna and I love my life and I love my wife, I love my faith and I love my franchise. As founder of “The Good Tidings Way” Conversion franchise, I provide struggling contractors decades of development within days, allowing them to thrive, making more money faster and having more time for family and friends! As a Plumbing and HVAC contractor, I’ve always enjoyed my family and recreation, but I couldn’t be in two places at one time, and I would lose customers, something had to give. So, I cut out golfing, got busy and quickly grew my company to 20 people and 3+ million in sales. With that kind of success and freedom, I not only could play all the golf I wanted, but with the extra time and money, I would buy a vacation home on the Jersey shore, where I also fell in love with boating and fishing. https://goodtidingscomfort.wistia.com/medias/xhq8ot21l2 It wasn’t always easy though, that 1st team I formed? It wasn’t built on integrity. I discovered the people I hired, didn’t fit in with my core values and so they all had to go! After losing nearly everything, I gained my faith, an amazing trustworthy team, a new company name and grew an additional 25% to 4 million in sales! Wildly grateful and transformed, the best part is, I've been blessed with a vision to share what I’ve learned through a national conversion franchise. Now, through the Good Tidings Way franchise, my calling is to Build, Deliver and Support everything needed to compete and win in the Plumbing and HVAC marketplace. I love people and care enormously, so beyond scaling their companies and helping them make much more money, I'll also support my franchisees with their emotional, physical and spiritual fitness.
