When was the last time you had four days to work on your business instead of handling the next call, filling a gap in the schedule, or solving a problem only you seem able to solve?
For many HVAC, plumbing, and electrical owners, the answer is, “I can’t remember.” You started a business to create opportunity, but as it grew, more decisions landed on your desk. Revenue may be increasing while your time and freedom are shrinking. Changing that takes more than another idea to bring home from a conference. It takes space to examine the business, talk honestly with people who understand it, and create a plan you can put to work.
That is the purpose of Freedom Builders University MasterMind 2027, taking place January 25–29 in New Orleans. The event brings home service business owners and leaders together for a welcome reception on Monday, working sessions Tuesday through Thursday, and travel home on Friday.
MasterMind is built around participation. In hot seat sessions, you bring a pressing business challenge to an intimate group of peers who understand what it is like to run a service company. Together, you can examine what is happening, challenge assumptions, and identify a practical path forward. Peer discussions and facilitated workshops also cover topics such as pricing, profitability, team structure, leadership, and growth.
Maybe your team still depends on you for every decision. Maybe your company is busy, but your margins are not where they need to be. Or perhaps you have reached a point where the systems that helped you grow can no longer support the next stage. Those are the kinds of challenges that benefit from time away from daily operations and an honest conversation with owners who have faced similar decisions.
Freedom Builders University describes its goal through three connected ideas: money, time, and impact. A stronger business should earn a healthy profit, give its owner room to lead rather than manage every detail, and create opportunities for the people who depend on it. MasterMind gives you dedicated time to consider all three.
The aim is to return home with decisions made and a written action plan—not a notebook full of ideas you may never revisit. The intentionally limited group size creates space for meaningful conversations about your business and the specific steps you will take next.
The time together extends beyond the sessions. A Monday welcome reception, Tuesday group activity, and Wednesday banquet create opportunities to get to know fellow contractors. Those relationships can continue to be valuable long after everyone leaves New Orleans.
MasterMind is facilitated by Matt Koop, Vice President of The New Flat Rate and founder of Freedom Builders University. His work with HVAC, plumbing, and electrical owners centers on building profitable companies that can grow without requiring the owner’s constant involvement.
It is easy to tell yourself you will work on the bigger picture when business slows down. For most contractors, that quiet stretch never arrives on its own. You have to make room for it.
If you’re ready to work through a real challenge and build a clearer plan for your company, book a qualification call for Freedom Builders MasterMind 2027. We’ll discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether this intimate, collaborative experience is the right fit for you. Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve the focused environment and ensure every participant has the opportunity to engage.
