GC Business Owner

You built the business from the ground up — possibly literally. You're a general contractor who owns the company, which means you bid the jobs, hire the subs, pull the permits, manage the money, AND handle the client who wants to add a second story for $10,000. The upside is enormous: top GC owners clear $300K+. The downside is that every project is a financial tightrope walk, and your phone never stops ringing.
