EPISODE 400: Are you constantly putting out fires in your construction business? Do you feel like you never have time to work on your business because you’re always reacting to problems?

For many business owners, it’s easy to believe that freeing up time means hiring extra help. But I’m here to tell you—you can reclaim 40 hours a month of your time without bringing anyone new on board.

In this episode, we’ll explore how adjusting your approach to time management, task prioritization, and communication can help you take control of your business, reduce overwhelm, and stop operating in constant reactive mode.

You’ll learn…

  • Jeff Bezos’s secret to creating more time (instead of managing it)

  • The importance of identifying the root cause of recurring problemsĀ 

  • Common time and energy drains for construction business owners

  • How eliminating free estimates can save you serious time

…and more!

If you’re ready to stop firefighting and finally take back control of your schedule, this episode is for you.
