How to go from burnt out operator to strategic owner.
A one-day event for real operators that want to run real systems that scale.
From $197 · Once we hit 100 seats, registration closes. No replays.
A room full of operators already in the trenches.
This isn't a room full of people who want to start a business someday. It's a room full of operators running trucks, managing crews, closing jobs, and trying to scale without breaking everything.
This event was built with you in mind.
Not theory. Not hype. The systems and structure that take you from running the business to owning it.
Operators in the trenches
If you're tired of:
- Guessing what to do next
- Watching other companies pass you
- Consuming content but not implementing
- Paying for agencies that don't deliver
- Feeling stuck between "small" and "scaled"
You'll feel at home here if you're:
- Running a home service business doing $25K–$1M+/month
- Tired of hype, motivation, and vague frameworks
- Ready for systems, structure, and clarity
- Willing to invest time and money to grow faster
- Looking for real answers from people doing it now
Industries in the room
Operators across the trades that scale on systems, not luck.
If you're still in "idea mode," this isn't the right room for you yet.
Tools you can implement the same day.
Most events give you ideas. This event's job is to hand you tools and strategies you can put to work to grow your home service business. Every speaker is required to give you one tangible takeaway you can use immediately.
Templates
Done-for-you frameworks you can adapt and ship before you leave the room.
Checklists
Step-by-step sequences so nothing critical falls through the cracks.
Calculators
Know your numbers — pricing, margins, and cash flow at a glance.
Scorecards
Weekly metrics that surface problems before they explode.
Scripts
Word-for-word language for sales calls, follow-ups, and the front line.
Playbooks
Repeatable systems for the parts of the business that should run themselves.
You won't leave inspired but without a blueprint — you'll leave with a plan already in motion.
One day. Two halves. A full system.
Marketing & Sales
How to fill your calendar without guessing.
- How to build a simple, repeatable lead engine
- What marketing channels actually work right now
- How to price correctly (and stop undercharging)
- How to improve close rate without being pushy
- Print, SEO, Google Maps: what to use and when
Operations, Systems & Money
How to scale without chaos.
- The operating system every growing business needs
- Weekly scorecards that show problems before they explode
- Leadership systems that get you off the truck
- Bookkeeping setup that doesn't look like a crime scene
- Cash flow, margins, and tax mistakes to avoid
- A clear 30–90 day plan to implement everything
Closing with a live Q&A to bring truth to the hard-hitting questions.
Industry-proven operators. Not professional speakers.
Steve Hunsaker
Steve Hunsaker is the founder of Home Service Accelerator, Valley Christmas Lights, and Valley Premier Lighting — a combined operation now doing $1.2M across his seasonal and lighting businesses. He launched Valley Christmas Lights in two weeks after stumbling on a Reddit thread, and turned that hands-on playbook into HSA, the training platform that's helped over 1,000 home service operators scale with repeatable systems in marketing, automation, and operations.
What sets Steve apart: he's not a guru selling theory — he's still actively running the businesses he teaches from. His "do it with me" model resonates with owner-operators who want real results, not outsourced ones. GCU 30 Under 30 honoree. Based in Scottsdale.
Cody Barton
Cody Barton started his entrepreneurial journey at 17 and never looked back. Now 31, he spent most of his 20s building a real estate empire across Arizona doing fix and flips, wholesaling, and acquiring a residential rental portfolio.
Over the last few years, Cody has expanded beyond real estate, leading a roll-up play in the accounting industry and scaling a residential cleaning company across multiple states with plans to exit to private equity in the coming years. Together, his portfolio of companies generates 8 figures in annual revenue.
Today, his focus is on continuing to acquire companies while working alongside his team to grow the businesses he already owns.
Plus select 7–9 figure operators and specialists — announced in the weeks leading up to the event. No professional speakers, but rather industry-proven speakers who are all still actively in the game.
By the end of the day, you'll have a business that's ready to run itself.
On the drive home, you'll say, "This replaced months of trial and error."

Questions, answered straight.
