What if your construction business could keep growing, even while you step back?

In this episode of Construction Champions, host Ron Nussbaum talks with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, dentist-turned-business-systems strategist and founder of WorkFewerHours.com, about how to design a company that runs without you.

After reducing her own practice from 5 days to 2½ days a week and growing revenue, Dr. Ruth shares the same process any contractor can use to work smarter, not longer.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why “time management” is a myth and behavior management is the real secret

The 5 areas that make a business run without you (system, communication, team, culture, leadership)

How to build robust operating systems for estimating, procurement & delivery

Simple ways to fix chaotic communication without adding more meetings

How to attract and retain high-performing team members with growth conferences

Turning core values into daily behaviors that shape company culture

The shift from “working in your business” to “leading from behind your team”

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have enough time,” this episode will change how you think about ownership forever.
