A new solopreneur or an ambitious corporate side-hustler looking to start a podcast – you’re in the right place! 

Hey! I’m Mahrukh Imtiaz, owner and host of ‘Spicy Chai’ – a podcast for content creators.  🎙️

In Feb 2021, I aired the very first episode of ‘Spicy Chai’ – my podcast for content creators. 

Today, ‘Spicy Chai’ is ranked in the global 10% of all podcasts! A fantastic achievement at any time, but so much more amazing in just my first year. 

A podcast is an excellent choice if you’ve been looking for:

✔️ A creative outlet to help people with your knowledge

✔️ A way to diversify your income stream

✔️ An idea for a side hustle

Having my own podcast has helped me become a more confident speaker, brought me speaking opportunities, connected me to people with millions of followers and helped me clarify my message. 

50+ episodes in, I now want to inspire YOU to work up the courage to put YOUR voice, YOUR thoughts, and YOUR message out there!

But that’s not all. I thrive in fast-paced corporate environments too! As a remote leader for one of the top companies, I’ve launched an HR chatbot, driven process improvements in HR operations, and designed and implemented leadership and culture programs. 

Balancing a podcast and a demanding 9-5 has taught me how to execute and stay consistent, even with a packed schedule. 

In addition to podcasting:

🏏 I play cricket for Team Canada

🙊 I’m obsessed with my 5-year-old nephew (he’s my best friend)

🥘 I daydream about Pakistani Biryani a little too often!

A podcast isn’t for everyone but ready for your podcast to meet the world even though you are time-starved? I have a value-loaded, free training video where you can learn how to start a podcast today.

Major projects require experienced management to achieve exceptional results, a simple and unarguable business statement. So, who is overseeing your construction projects; your CFO, personal assistant, you? Why, are they qualified, and if they have that much free time you should be asking yourself another question? Construction is more than hiring an architect and contractor, they have their roles and their interests to protect, but who is watching over your interests.

The thousands of decisions and associated coordination required all fall to someone to make, in a language unique to the industry. Yes, we have all spoken with the IT department and their alphabet soup language, construction has one too.

We speak construction, understand it, and interpret it on your behalf, we are looking out for YOU! Our GOAL is to have your project built to the quality level you deserve and expect in a timely manner for your enjoyment.

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
