About AIMM ACADEMY
AIMM Academy helps serious contractors move from tradesman to true entrepreneur with a complete operating system — identity, hiring, marketing, estimating, sales, finance, production, structure, and leadership — built from a real contractor’s journey, not theory.
This is not a motivational seminar or a single course.
This is a contractor operating system proven in the real world.
WHERE AIMM ACADEMY CAME FROM
AIMM (Am I Making Any Money?) was born inside Pacific Outdoor Living (POL) a design-build company in Los Angeles, one of the toughest construction markets in the world.
POL started like most contracting companies:
- A few guys
- A truck
- Tools in the back
- Long days in the field
- Late nights doing estimates
- Zero financial visibility
- Everyone coming to the owner
- No systems
- No separation of roles
- No path out
The owner, Terry Morrill, was stuck in the same trap as most contractors:
the business worked only if he worked 60–80 hours a week.
Over time, POL developed real systems for estimating, hiring, marketing, production, money, and leadership
and used them to grow from a small operation to a $35M design-build company.
AIMM Academy is the codification of those systems.
Why AIMM Academy Exists
Most contractors don’t fail from lack of effort. They fail because the business is built on their back, not on systems.
AIMM Academy exists to solve that.
We help contractors:
- Get out of daily chaos
- Stop guessing at estimates and profit
- Build real leadership and structure
- Turn their company into a scalable, sellable asset
Instead of “more hustle,” AIMM Academy gives you an operating system you can run, train, and eventually hand off.
Behind AIMM Academy is one core principle:
THE LAW OF SEPARATION
To scale a contracting business, three things must be separated:
Separate the Owner from Daily Chaos
Define and assign duties so the company stops relying on the owner for every decision.
Separate Prospects from Real Buyers
Install systems that filter out unqualified customers and elevate real opportunities.
Separate the Dollars
You must know — daily — whether you
are making or losing money.
This is the foundation of AIMM:
Am I Making Any Money?
If you cannot answer that question, you are already losing.
AIMM Academy is built to enforce this Law of Separation across your entire company.
WHAT AIMM ACADEMY ACTUALLY DOES

WHO AIMM ACADEMY IS FOR
AIMM Academy is for contractors who are:
- Tired of being the estimator, salesperson, scheduler, crew leader, and firefighter
- Doing $1–3M and stuck — or pushing beyond that and hitting a ceiling
- Working long hours with little visibility into real profit
- Motivated to build a company that can grow — and eventually run — without them
It is not for owners looking for a quick tip, a one-off course, or a motivational weekend.
It is for serious contractors who want to build a real business.
