Get ready to supercharge your business at the Acceleration Days® Workshop—a powerful, hands-on experience built for home service professionals who are ready to grow, connect, and win.
This isn’t another lecture or training—it’s a dynamic, collaborative environment where you’ll work alongside like-minded leaders who understand the challenges and triumphs of running a home service business. You’ll share ideas, exchange proven strategies, and walk away with the tools and clarity to take your business to the next level.
Here’s why you don’t want to miss it:
Collaborate with the best: Exchange ideas and solutions with top-performing home service pros.
Don’t wait—secure your seat and start creating the future your business deserves.
Every successful service business leader believes in momentum. They wouldn’t have built what they’ve built without it. But belief alone doesn’t hold up under pressure, and most businesses don’t lose momentum all at once. They lose it quietly. In this opening keynote, Kenny Chapman will break down three truths that separate businesses with real, sustained momentum from those that are simply busy, then introduce one law that turns those truths into action when things get hard. You’ll also experience the Three R’s Reset, a simple tool the entire room will put into practice together and carry through every session that follows.
Every great park has the headline attractions everyone notices and the behind-the-scenes systems that make the entire experience possible. Your business is no different. In Which Rides Are You Running?, Chris will help you take a closer look at where you’re investing your time and energy, where critical systems may be getting overlooked, and whether your company’s momentum can continue without you constantly pushing it forward.
Each breakout is centered on one of the three drivers that determine whether a business grows with intention or stalls in complexity: Your Marketing, Your Team, and Your Numbers.
Within every breakout, attendees are grouped by stage of business so discussion stays relevant to your current challenges and next level of growth. These are not theory sessions. They are working sessions designed to sharpen your thinking, clarify priorities, and strengthen the decisions that move your business forward.

● Proven systems — learn the processes top-performing contractors use to increase efficiency, profitability, and team performance.
● Immediate impact — leave with actionable strategies you can implement right away.
● Peer connections — surround yourself with other ambitious business owners who understand your challenges and share what’s working for them.
● Vendor partnerships — meet trusted vendor partners at our Vendor Show who can provide solutions, tools, and resources to support your growth.
● Long-term ROI — members often report that what they gain here pays back their time many times over.
You may feel too busy to attend — but the truth is, you may be too busy not to. Acceleration Days® will zero in on the strategies that will help you scale.

Kenny Chapman is living proof that success is built from the inside out. Known today as an award-winning speaker, author, and transformational coach, Kenny’s journey began in the trenches of the trades — when he bought a struggling plumbing business in Colorado that was barely earning $1,000 a month. With determination, innovation, and a deep commitment to personal growth, he turned that small operation into a thriving multi-million-dollar company. Along the way, he discovered his true passion: helping others do the same.
Driven by a mission to elevate lives and businesses, Kenny founded The Blue Collar Success Group® to provide service business owners, technicians, and leaders with the tools, training, and mindset to achieve both professional and personal freedom. He saw what the industry was missing — ethical, heart-centered guidance and real-world strategies — and built a community that empowers people to grow beyond their limits.
Today, Kenny is recognized as a leading authority on leadership, success, and personal development. He’s been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and in USA Today, and was named one of America’s Premier Experts. He is the author of several influential books, including Blue Collar Success Laws, In-Home Sales Acceleration, and The Six Dimensions of C.H.A.N.G.E. 2.0, each offering actionable tools for creating lasting transformation.
Whether he’s speaking from a stage, leading workshops, or coaching one-on-one, Kenny’s energy, humor, and authenticity inspire people to unlock their potential and build lives they truly love.
Through The Blue Collar Success Group®, Kenny continues his life’s work — guiding the trades community to grow their businesses, strengthen their leadership, and create success that lasts well beyond the bottom line.
Chris’ journey in the home services trades began at age 16 as an apprentice electrician, and in just eight months, was promoted to lead technician. It was the tipping point for what would be his vast resume as a successful owner, supervisor, and business coach.
In 2002, Chris went on to join a residential electrical company in Atlanta and was quickly promoted to supervisor, responsible for 18 trucks and producing more than million in revenue. He then moved to Sarasota, Fla., in 2008, serving as a business coach for a large electrical company helping franchisees achieve success, winning the “Million Dollar Award” he won in Georgia for producing 1. million in revenue.
From 2010 to 2012, Chris coached various plumbing, electrical, and HVAC businesses for the franchisor and eventually oversaw the coaching team for more than 90 locations nationwide. He later took ownership of an electrical business and grew it from 10 trucks to 60, five locations, and 18 million in revenue—all within four years. He sold his shares in early 2018 to join The Blue Collar Success Group®.
Now serving as company President, Chris applies his deep expertise across all aspects of the in-home services industry—pricing, planning, budgeting, marketing, recruiting, training, and more. His hands on experience and strategic vision have empowered countless members to turn their businesses into powerful revenue generating operations.
Jeremy is masterful at creating systems that produce immediate results and was one of the creators of what’s known as “call-by-call” management. He found his passion for helping businesses – managers to everyone in between – achieve personal and professional growth after speaking at a Blue Collar Success Group event in 2018.
Jeremy forged an in-home services career in 2003 and, in two years, became one of the youngest top-producing high-ticket salespeople in the country. He’s held nearly every high-level role, including sales manager to general manager, in an in-home services company. Jeremy has been instrumental for the growth of franchises and start-up business, in addition to adding millions in revenue to existing privately held companies.
James is an accomplished business operator with over 24 years of experience in the home services industry. With a passion for coaching and developing others, James has been successful in growing multiple businesses over the course of his impressive career.
James’s wealth of experience in the trades includes overseeing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations in the capacity of operations manager, general manager, and business owner. He has achieved many professional goals, such as starting a new HVAC division from scratch in under two years and working his way up to General Manager of a sizable $20M three-trade company. NATE certified in AC as well as gas heat, James also holds a National Master Mechanical certification through the ICC.
His ability to lead, coach, and develop others, however, is perhaps James’s greatest talent. A natural, engaging leader, James has extensive experience in training in both individual and group settings, and is most proud of his ability to develop leadership skills and structure within an organization. He has a proven gift for putting the right people in the right positions to win
When not working hard to bring out the best in others, James and his wife enjoy traveling and visiting with their grandson and three grown children. As Colorado residents, the Casterlines take full advantage of their beautiful surroundings to go camping and off-roading in their Jeep.
