    (What’s the difference again?)

    Should you look at hourly rates?

    Weekly? Monthly?

    Consider all the materials involved?

    Maybe mash that all together?

    Or if that’s all too complicated…

    Just resort to the ol’ tried and true ‘PAFOOMA’ method?

    Y’know…

    Pull A Figure Out Of My Ass?

  • Does Hiring Ever Get Easier?
    Sep 3 2024

    It’s fricken annoying.

    You’ve got so much work your team can’t keep up...

    Watching those jobs slip away hurts...

    Missing out on that extra revenue sucks...

    So, you consider hiring someone new...

    Another guy on the tools – to keep the truck busy?

    An office manager – to help with admin?

    Maybe an estimator – so you’re not pricing everything?

    Sounds great – lighten the load and grow your business.

    But then the doubt creeps in...

    “Is the role really necessary?”

    “Can I afford it?”

    “Is there enough work for a bigger team?”

    “How will I find the right person?”

    “What if I get it wrong?”

    Before you know it, you’re paralyzed with fear, can’t make a decision, and back at square one...

    Hiring is hard.

    It’s not something you do all the time, and it can feel pretty loaded. It’s also quite complex, because it involves people. And let’s face it, people are complex...

    That’s why in our latest episode, we tackle hiring head-on, covering:

    • How To Attract the Best to Work for You
    • Common Hiring Mistakes You Need to Avoid
    • The 3 Step Process That Makes Hiring a Breeze

    Hiring is your most important job as a business owner and the most impactful thing you can do to create profit, lifestyle and wealth.

  • How to Overcome the Fear of Growth
    Aug 13 2024

    We’ve all seen it, right?

    Some dude gets cocky when things start going well for his business.

    Thinking he’s destined to be a millionaire, he hires a bunch of new guys…

    Gets a big warehouse, buys extra vehicles…

    Does a bunch of flashy advertising…

    All to try and grow the business.

    But he’s got too big for his boots.

    Gone too hard, too fast.

    Soon, things get crazy busy.

    Without proper systems, it all falls apart.

    And he ends up falling on his face.

    It’s easy to think growing your business will only create more stress and hassle.

    There are plenty of owners who have grown their business successfully.

    They make good money – and can afford to travel for a month every year.

    They have more time – to coach their kids’ sports team and go to all their games.

    They have more freedom – to regularly take Fridays off knowing their business is fine without them.

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

    1. Build a bigger and more profitable business that can stand on its own two feet
    2. Keep your team happy and loyal so they stay with you for years to come
    3. Avoid the common traps of growth so you don’t crash and burn

    To learn how to grow your business the right way, watch the episode now.
