Legit 5 Case Study
with Nic Levin

Momentum follows mindset. 

In this episode of Garage Door Heroes, host Robb Leishman sits down with Nick Levin, a Minnesota-based garage door entrepreneur who went from a few jobs a week to record months by shifting from “technician mode” to “business owner.” In just a year, Nick bootstrapped his company, partnered up, defined roles, and built a sales engine that turns $49 tune-ups into door installs, proving that clarity, consistency, and relationships beat waiting for the phone to ring.

Nick shares how he left college, learned the trade working with his dad, and then launched on his own, scaling from $3–5K per month to $20K, $30K, and now tracking $60K+ after tightening up marketing, sales, and operations. He explains why you hire before you are overwhelmed, how splitting responsibilities (and revenue) with a partner accelerates growth, and why doing what you love is the ultimate unfair advantage with customers.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to shift from technician to owner and build a company that runs without you
• The playbook behind Nick’s jump from a few jobs a week to $60K per month in a year
• Why hiring and partnering early (and defining roles) creates real scale
• How a $49 tune-up becomes a relationship and a steady stream of door sales
• The power of options-based selling: premium, midrange, and economy without pressure
• Why marketing is an investment (and how budget and results stayed proportional)
• How to set CEO and CFO-style responsibilities even in a two-person shop
• Mindset over fear: doing what you love so everybody, team and customers, wins
