Your business was supposed to give you freedom. So why does it feel like you're working more than ever? Too many contractors build themselves into the center of everything. Every estimate. Every phone call. Every problem. Every decision.
In this episode, Tim and Derek break down why that happens and what it actually takes to build a business that runs without depending on you.
We cover:
• Why most contractors accidentally build themselves another job
• The biggest mistake owners make when building a team
• Why every business needs clear roles and accountability
• How to stop being the bottleneck
• The $100,000 minimum every business owner should expect to earn
• Why systems create freedom, not restrictions
• How to build a company that gives you choices instead of stress
If you're tired of your business controlling your life, this conversation is for you. 👊
