EPISODE 406: What if you could cut your daily calls from 60 down to 5 and finally take weeks off without the chaos following you? It’s possible!

Freedom in business isn’t about working harder. It’s about letting go of control and building systems that actually work.

In this week’s episode of the Construction Leading Edge podcast, I’m joined by construction business owner and long-time client turned guest coach Max Christiansen. Max is the founder and sales director at Tru Builders, a family-owned home remodeling company based in Arizona. 

Today, he reveals how systematizing your business can turn daily chaos into clarity and freedom.

You’ll discover…

  • Why being the bottleneck is killing your business growth

  • How structures create more freedom, not restrictions

  • Why delegating the right way can help your team thrive

  • How Max went from 60 calls a day to just 5—and took 18 weeks off

  • The power of CEO time and protecting your schedule

  • How systematizing opened the door for family succession

…and more!

Ready to reclaim your time, grow your business, and finally take that trip with your family?

Let’s get into it!
