Florida contractor John McCormick believes in sticking to a business plan. He founded the leak detection and jetting business I Find Leaks Inc. just six years ago. He now operates four successful brands that include emergency drying, mold removal and water damage reconstruction. His bottom line on business expansion: build logically on your core activity and avoid growth for growth’s sake.
McCormick left the high-tech sector eight years ago, just before the tech bubble burst.
“I could see that it was crashing and started to look at different trades that would be in high demand regardless of the economic climate,” he says.
