  • Show Me Your Calendar, I’ll Show You Your Problems
    May 14 2024

    After a 10 hour shift on the tools you come home for some quality family time.

    For about 90 minutes...

    You then head to the desktop to finish up some estimates, quotes & payroll.

    Bedtime rolls around sometime after 11 when you find your partner is already out.

    Unlike her though you toss and turn.

    It’s hard to sleep with all the stress you’re carrying from owning your business.

    But eventually you drift off.

    And at 5am you get up feeling exhausted, ready to do it all again.

    And just before you walk out the door you ask yourself...

    “How long can I keep doing this?”

    There’s a lot of things you need to do to escape that cycle.

    But the first and most important thing is managing the hours you spend at work better.

    When you plan your time better you are naturally more efficient.

    This is how trades business owner drop their 60-70 hour weeks down to 40-50.

    Show me your calendar and I WILL show you your problems.

    That’s the name of our new training

  • The Ultimate Guide For Managing Tradespeople
    May 7 2024

    Do you HATE when employees make avoidable mistakes?

    Nobody’s perfect but employees can take a profitable job and screw it up big time.

    Mistakes in business can be a death sentence.

    But business owners like you and I can also make mistakes.

    The difference is our mistakes tend to be a lot more expensive.

    An apprentice might do a poor job which costs $500 to fix.

    But a business owner who hasn’t delegated that job properly is leaving much more on the table.

    It’s easy to see when staff muck up because we have to pay for it.

    But when we muck up, it sometimes isn’t even noticed.

    But that really needs to change because I’m sick of business owners throwing away 20% of their net margin on bad management and not noticing

    So Phil & I sat down to talk about how to be profitable managers.

    WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM LISTENING TO TODAY’S PODCAST:

    1. The best ways to manage your team in 2024
    2. How to make your team less dependent on you.
    3. The process for reducing team mistakes.
