146: The Fruits of Designing A Sustainably Profitable Business with Andrew Tvardzik

Andrew Tvardzik is today’s guest, and he and his family have been a part of the Better Business, Better Life™ program for several years now. Upon joining the program, they were committed to not only building a business and making sales but to also creating a great place to work. In Episode 95, Andrew shared with us about the transformation his company was experiencing, as well as the challenges that it was facing head-on. Today, he brings us up-to-date on his powerful entrepreneurial journey that, with the guidance of the Better Business, Better Life™ program, has given him an amazing life and business that he could have never before imagined. Andrew Tvardzik was first introduced to running a business at 10 years of age. He started mowing lawns and built an impressive clientele for a 10-year-old. At 14, he got a job working for a restaurant facilities maintenance company. Andrew worked there for 11 years doing everything from sweeping the warehouse to running crews as a lead man to operations managers. In 2015, he went into business with his father doing remodeling and real estate investing. In 2018, they added Andrew’s brother, Samuel, to the team and started Cedar Ridge Log Homes. Their goal is to become the premier cedar log home builders in Deep Creek, Maryland. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.
