How to make MONEY in construction

You know the feeling, so much chaos surrounding you, it is hard to get anything done; where do I start?

Start Here https://mailchi.mp/6231a3380d38/build-your-business

Does it have to be this difficult? No, it doesn't

You started your business to make more money, hopefully in fewer hours; wouldn't that be great?  

I help contractors get their business operations functioning so they can do just that. Do you know how most business owners work 18 hrs. a day in pursuit of the dream? It does not have to be that way.

That's where I come in,

It is all about the M.A.P. Business is meant to be a treasure MAP, not a treasure hunt; that's what we work on, Building the M.A.P.

Money, Advertising, Production: Sell it, Build it, Measure it.

I help Contractors, General or Sub, become Business Owners and create the 💰 profitable, stable, and self-sustaining business they set out to create when they first hung out their shingle. 

It takes work on your part, but the net result is a business that can operate while on vacation 🏝 and make enough 💰 money to take that vacation. Was that not the dream when you started? The challenge is that you see yourself as a ⛏ builder, and when you made the career change to a Business Owner, that mindset never changed. You are now in the "business of construction," not the "construction business." There is a difference; the first is who you are now instead of who you used to be. Carpentry took a defined skillset; business needs another. It is time to learn your new trade.

Builders are the hardest-working, most generous folks I have ever met. Hard-working to a fault, putting in ⏳12-14 hour days to pursue the dream of a successful self-sustaining construction business. Yet success appears elusive; years go by, and the days get longer and tenser, but why? "I am working as hard as I can!" The good news is that you have made it; you are there! We need to organize the chaos into sanity. Unfortunately, the business style that got you here is not the same as launching you to the next level. 

I am passionate about working with builders on their business side and taking them to the next level, the level they dreamed of when they first set out.

I have helped many others; now is your time to reach the brass ring; 

SCHEDULE A CALL WITH ME TODAY so we can discuss your goals, and I can share how we can work together to transform you into a leader in your space. STOP doing it all yourself, STOP working 18 hours a day, and STOP missing out on life. Schedule a call with me.

DM me or book now:  https://calendly.com/duane-5/30-min-solution-call
