EPISODE 392: Why do some contractors scale to $10M and beyond, while others stay stuck?

Most construction business owners believe that working harder and saying ā€œyesā€ to everything is the key to growth.

But here’s the truth: saying yes to every job is how you build revenue, but saying NO to the wrong ones is how you build a profitable construction business.

In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge, we’re unpacking the five key mindset shifts that set $10M-a-year construction CEOs apart.

Listen in and discover:

  • The difference between being a builder and becoming a true construction CEO

  • Why relying on gut feeling can cost you more than you think

  • How to design systems that prevent chaos before it starts

  • Why waiting until you’re ā€œreadyā€ is exactly what keeps you stuck where you are

…and so much more!

Ready to escape the chaos and scale with confidence?
