Entrepreneurs are tenacious. Al Levi is. I bet you are too.
In this episode of Tenacious Entrepreneur, Al Levi shares his story with host Joseph Dupong, including how he helped grow and transform his third-generation family business. Starting from a small fuel oil company, he expanded into plumbing, electrical, and HVAC by listening to customers and saying “yes” to new opportunities. He highlights the importance of unified branding and adapting to change.
Al stresses that systems are key to scaling any business. He implemented org charts, training manuals, and clear roles to reduce chaos and improve efficiency. His book, The 7-Power Contractor, outlines 7 core areas every entrepreneur must understand—like planning, staffing, and finance.
The conversation also focuses on mindset. Al and the host agree that real growth starts when you take ownership, stop blaming others, and commit to learning. Whether rebuilding after failure or scaling up, success comes from structure, focus, and consistent action.
