Looking To Get Their Lives Back:
The Proven System For Scaling Your Construction Business To Millions… Then Letting it Run On Autopilot
What is Automation Blueprint?
Automation Blueprint is the hands-on application of a concept that’s been talked about for decades but rarely put to practice correctly (if at all).
This is what the absolute greats of entrepreneurship – like Robert Kyosaki and Michael E. Gerber – preach in the most groundbreaking books written in the space, and what remains an untouchable fantasy for 98% of entrepreneurs who read them.
It is a complete system for shifting the paradigm, making your business work FOR you, and scaling to numbers far beyond what you ever thought possible – without sacrificing your health, sanity, or relationships.
And inside Automation Blueprint, I help you plug this system right into your construction business.
Implement Bulletproof Marketing & Sales Strategies that pull more projects than you can handle – reliably and on autopilot
Find, Hire, And Onboard A-Players FAST – Start hiring with certainty and build a team that you can 100% rely on
Get Larger Clients – Tap into the sphere of construction clients that happily pay margins of more than 40% without even batting an eye (yes, they exist!)
Put Proper Systems In Place and train your staff to use them – so that they can work without your supervision
Create The Rock Solid Business Plan every company NEEDS to be (and stay) successful in the long run
Follow The Step-By-Step Process for removing yourself from the daily operations by delegating the RIGHT way
Define Smart Standard Operating Procedures in your business and optimize them for maximum efficiency (time AND money wise)
How To Use Your New Time & Freedom to maximize profits and propel your company forward to the path to 7 and 8+ figures
Message From Jesse Lane:
Dear friend,
There’s a high chance that reading this entire page will drastically change the course of your career inside the construction industry as well as your life outside of it.
And Yes, I Know This Might Sound Like a Distant Dream Right Now. It Certainly Did To Me Just A Few Years Ago.
But listen,
If you build your construction business the right way, you can truly have it all.
And it does not have to take you a decade to achieve it.
But to get there, there’s one tough pill to swallow.
You have to understand the one thing that keeps most contractors stuck in the exact same situation that you are in right now.
This is the fine difference between the select few in our industry that become obscenely wealthy, while the vast majority is left with slim margins, empty pockets, and broken families:
It’s What I Call The ”Carpenter’s Mentality”.
Let me explain.
As construction entrepreneurs, especially if we’ve been working in the field before, we are used to literally working “hands-on”, and we’re the type of people who just like to get things done.
But this hands-on mentality that once served us in the field – and maybe in the beginning stages of building our company – is what blocks us from growing, and what causes us to grind our gears.
Because we carry this same mentality into running our business.
We find ourselves wearing all the hats – taking hectic phone calls while driving around the city picking up materials, supervising the site, managing the schedule, estimating the next project, and even doing our own bookkeeping…
And that’s the reason why you see so many guys out there either stuck on the tools or stuck in the office:
They never really make the shift from being a craftsman to being a true CEO.
Because being a true CEO – running and growing a company – requires an entirely different approach.
And that’s the lesson that I had to learn the hard way a few years ago.
That’s When It Became Crystal Clear to Me That The Path Out of This Hamster Wheel Was a Counterintuitive One.
See, I had always been convinced that growth in business came from working harder and doing MORE.
The book E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber made me realize that truly the only way to get ahead and achieve the success that I wanted…
Was by doing LESS of the actual work – so that I could finally spend my energy working ON the business rather than IN it.
Because the harsh truth is:
As long as you are busy being the superintendent running around job sites, being the project manager, building schedules, managing the budgets, paying the subs (or even if you’re just doing a few of those yourself)...
It is PHYSICALLY impossible to scale. Think about it:
As long as you are still actively doing work, your business is built on a very limited resource:
You.
And even if you’re Superman:
If your time and energy are the foundation of everything that can happen in your business, then your success (and the amount of money you can make) is hard-capped…
Which by extension means:
If You Are Already Giving It All You Have, Then The Result You Are Currently Getting is Most Likely Everything You Ever Will Get.
But First, You Have To Understand The Very Essence Of How “Automating” A Business ACTUALLY Works
You see, where most people go wrong at this point is the idea that delegating = hiring someone = this person taking work off their plate.
This couldn’t be further from the truth, because there’s a big catch to this:
For most business owners, hiring people will mean even MORE work rather than making life easier.
More questions.
More mistakes.
More chaos.
Oh, and a bigger payroll, of course…
That’s why just hiring a bunch of people can easily turn into a disaster if done without the necessary groundwork.
The key is to have the right combination of people AND systems.
When you have A) proper systems in place and B) people running those systems exactly the way you intend – without you monitoring and micromanaging them…
Only then will delegating actually get you out of the weeds.
And To Do That, It All Boils Down To The Following Three Boxes That Need To Be Checked.
1) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are defined
You probably have a rough idea in your head of how all the processes should go in your company, right?
- What is your Estimating process?
- Who passes on which information to whom?
- Where are important documents stored?
- Who is the contact person for which type of questions?
- Who is responsible for what?
But chances are that in reality, things look a bit different than what you imagine, and your current processes have developed more or less by accident rather than being meticulously thought-through…
And that’s the source of costly misunderstandings and unnecessary questions:
Simply because nobody has clear instructions to follow. People literally just don’t know what exactly they’re supposed to do.
So the key to establishing standard operating procedures is to get all the ideas that are living in your head written down for everyone to see and to understand.
There are of course SOPs that are more efficient than others, which can only be determined through a lot of testing and experience (that’s why inside the Automation Blueprint program we give you the exact ones that have already proven themselves for years).
Once you’ve implemented optimized processes into your business, your workflows will run like a well-oiled machine (and save you a lot of money and nerves).
2) An A-Player Is In The Role
Here’s the deal:
It doesn’t matter how on-point your SOPs are if they’re not executed properly.
That’s why it’s so important to fill your roles with the RIGHT people.
And I know that this is way easier said than done. Finding quality staff has never been easy, and it’s certainly not getting easier.
But there’s one game changer that helps a TON:
A hiring system that allows you to gauge people’s character, work ethic, and skill levels right from the start, before you even hire them.
To do that, we integrate quizzes and questionnaires into the hiring and onboarding process to make sure that your hires are a cultural fit and an actual improvement for your company.
Now, is it realistic to always find A-Players only?
No.
But strong training systems and clear SOPs can turn B-Players into A-Players FAST.
So these are the three processes to dial in in order to build a rockstar team:
Hiring - Onboarding - Training.
(we help you with all of this within Automation Blueprint)
3) Accountability
Even the best employees tend to drop off after a while when they’re getting a little too comfortable.
That’s only natural, and it’s on you as the leader to keep people operating on a high level at all times.
What this should NOT mean is that you now have to be in their ear 24/7.
The secret to holding people accountable without actively nagging them is to communicate a set of trackable expectations and goals.
That way it’s easier for them to perform well because they have a clear objective to work towards, and you have data to compare them against that shows you exactly which areas are great and which areas need some improvement.
On top of that, having common goals also strengthens the bond in your team because it creates this sense of a common quest.
To track and communicate goals, we use tools like scorecards, company dashboards, and clear agreements.
This Is The Exact Recipe I Applied To Every Single Thing That Was Happening Behind The Doors Of J. Lane Construction – Until One Day, My Presence Was No Longer Required.
The best part?
The new time and freedom I gained allowed me to spend my time however I want,
So that I was able to scale well beyond $10,000,000+ in yearly revenue.
Today, all I do is check in with my C-Suite once per week for about 30 mins.
It’s a dream, bro.
Which brings us to you…
Are You Ready To Let Go Of The Daily Hustle And To Make More Money Than You've Ever Made In Your Life?
ALL the strategies that I used (and am still using to this day) to automate and scale my construction business – including all the nitty-gritty steps, the technology, and the tools that are running in the background to make this actually work…
I am now handing on a silver platter to other ambitious contractors, inside my new revolutionary 1-on-1 program Automation Blueprint.
This is the place where I share everything that I’ve developed over the course of multiple decades in construction, so that you can skip each of the costly lessons learned the hard way, to…
- Save years of banging your head against the wall
- Win back your time to do what you enjoy
- Spend time with the ones you truly care about
- Strategically scale your business to new heights
- Get on the fast track to making multiple millions every year
If that sounds like a plan, then I invite you to join the program!

Introducing: Automation Blueprint
Automation Blueprint is essentially my life’s work.
It’s the trail that I’ve blazed and that you can now follow (and get ahead way faster than I did).
It is the roadmap for turning a small and often barely profitable construction business into a multi-million dollar company – and to go from running a multi-million-dollar company to stepping back and letting your business fill your pockets while you’re on vacation with your family.
We have developed a four-phase curriculum, designed to transform your business from the ground up into a profit-generating machine in the fastest way possible.
Here’s how it works:
Phase 1:
Laying Your Foundation
This is the step that sets the foundation for success – and that 90% of construction business owners usually skip in the early stages of their business.
You’ll dive deep into your company to understand exactly what’s going on in the 5 major areas of your business. We’ll show you how to build this foundation and create processes for:
- Office Manger
- Sales
- Estimator
- Project Manager
- Superintendent
This phase is a comprehensive 12 - 16 week class where we give you instructions and help you implement the new SOPs, so that by the end of this phase, you have built up five streamlined turnkey processes.
Phase 2:
Building Your Team
With your new SOPs in place, you can now start hiring and gradually free up your time.
We help you uncover which roles need to be filled first by determining your biggest time drain and what will produce the most immediate ROI.
You will learn how to be a great leader, solve issues effectively, build an amazing team/culture, and communicate effectively.
We start to elaborate on things that you never had time for before – like meeting cadences, your company’s culture, core values, vision, mission etc.
You’ll start feeling the weight lift off your shoulders and you'll begin seeing your business operating like a well oiled machine!
Phase 3:
Building Your C-Suite
With all your base roles filled, you are now an active leader. You’re managing your people, checking that everything is on track, still answering some questions, and implementing new processes…
Which is still way more work than you might think.
So the next step is to delegate all that to a COO (who of course we’re going to help find and hire because people on this level are rare).
Once you have a COO, you’ll be actively involved with them initially, until they’re fully ready to run the business daily the way you want it.
Then you’ll be prepared to enter the magic Phase 4.
Phase 4:
Time To Scale BIG!
First of all, congratulations.
You are now running a fully automated construction company!
So what now?
Well now, you are the CEO that can step back and work ON your business from a totally different perspective.
From here it’s all about strategy, vision, and scaling – which I personally think is the fun part.
But it’s totally up to you to decide if you want to exit and just enjoy the fruits of your labor, or go all in and scale your company through the roof.
Either way, man:
You’ve made it.
Automation Blueprint Is A SHORTCUT
When I said that this is my life’s work, I meant it.
It took me years to create all of the systems needed to put this concept into practice, and another many years to perfect them.
I fell flat on my face more often than I can remember. I’ve made decisions that almost ruined my business, and I don’t even want to know how many millions of dollars I’ve burnt along the way.
Today I know it was worth it…
I’ve Done All The Grunt Work So That You Don’t Have To. Please Take Advantage Of It.
If you are still reading this, you have by now most likely flipped a switch in your mind that already sets you ahead of the other 95% of entrepreneurs out there.
But the actual work itself hasn’t started.
Now, don’t get me wrong:
With the knowledge that you now have, you can of course stitch together a plan and go for it on your own, and you may actually succeed.
It’s not gonna be a walk in the park, but you may eventually figure it out…
The thing is just that there’s really nothing left to “figure out”.
The exact step-by-step path already exists, and many contractors are already walking it and reclaiming their freedom.
So instead of having to learn the same lessons and make the same mistakes over and over again...
...You Now Have The Chance to Basically Just Download My Entire 8-Figure Construction Business And Plug It Straight Into Yours.
Who Exactly Is This For?
To keep it simple, just imagine this program like setting your company on steroids.
So if you’re running a big company already, then this will streamline it to maximum efficiency and open up a whole other world of opportunities – in terms of both money and personal freedom.
And if you’re a smaller business, then this will set you up for massive success in the very near future, and speed up your growth in a way that will make other contractors question their decisions.
There is one thing however that I want to make very clear:
This is not for everybody.
Yes, this program is as much of a fast track as it can ever get - and yes, a lot of the material we give you is plug-and-play.
BUT:
Every business is different, and everything you get here still has to be tweaked and implemented into your specific business.
We are still talking about setting your construction company up on autopilot.
This is an endeavor that usually takes decades – and this is only speaking for the few who even make it at all.
And because we are condensing this process to a fraction of the time and effort it would usually take…
This Program Is NOT For You If:
❌ You’re unable to invest 2-4 hours per week
❌ You’re looking for quick-fixes and don’t want to learn new skills
❌ You’re 100% happy with your current situation and don’t feel the need to level up
❌ You don’t have the drive to put in the work necessary to build something great
❌ You want to avoid taking accountability
❌ You’re okay with lots of stress for little reward for the rest of your career
But If…
✅ You’re exhausted and frustrated because your progress has come to a halt
✅ You're ready to put in the work necessary to achieve your goals
✅ You're not afraid of taking steps forward
✅ You don’t have time for stumbling into pitfalls and going down dead end roads
✅ You’re ready to tap into your full entrepreneurial potential and become a true visionary leader
✅ You don’t feel the need to reinvent the wheel
✅ You’re looking for the most direct and proven road to success
✅ You're willing to accept expert guidance
✅ You’re ready to enter a new chapter of your career and your life
… then you are exactly the type of person who I’ve created this program for, and I’d love to welcome you in our circle.
So Let’s Do This:
If you like the idea of building a multi-million-dollar contracting business that runs without you, then all you need to do is click the button below.
It will take you to a quick application form and then to a calendar where you book a call with my team to talk about your current situation and your goals, and see if working together makes sense.
Because keep in mind that as we do work so closely together with every person inside this program, we can only fill a limited number of spots, and therefore we really need to make sure that this is the right move for both of us.
If so, we’re gonna walk you through some options for how we can collaborate – and if for some reason we find that this is not a fit, then you’re still gonna get a ton of value out of the call and you’ll have all your questions answered.
So if you’re ready for the next level of success in your contracting journey, hit that orange button, and I can’t wait to speak with you soon!
