| The Essential Systems This Builder Used to Reclaim 70 Hours/Week | 09 May 2024 | 00:18:10 | |
As a builder, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day chaos of your business. Before you know it, you're clocking 50-70+ hours a week and the business consumes your entire life. That was the reality Ken faced when he enrolled in The Professional Builder. Listing down the tasks he was doing by himself, he found out he was working for 70+ hours each week. But just 4 months in, he got an initial 40 hours per week of admin tasks off his plate. Plus he hired a site manager who "kicked him off-site", which freed him up even more time to focus on marketing, sales, and systems improvement. Today on The Builders Ladder Podcast, Vinnie and Ken discuss how Ken achieved these results. Tune in to discover: The power of testimonials in growing your construction company (06:06) • How TPB helps builders get unstuck (08:16) • How increased confidence can help your business grow (10:23) • The essential tools and strategies to buy back your time (14:31) • The importance of peer learning and collaboration in your business (15:08) Tune in to this short yet insightful episode and grab these tools that helped Ken free up 70 hours of his week: • Know the tasks to get off your plate: https://tp-b.com/stop-doing-84 • How much is your hourly rate?

Health & Safety is often not a high priority word in the builders' vocabulary. In fact it's often the last thing on the list.

Sitting down with Owen today is Vanessa Lambert. She is the Head of Customer Success & Experience at HazardCo Australia. With years of experience in the trade safety industry, she shares some of the best practices to ensure safety on-site, protecting both your team and your bottom line. We'll touch on topics such as: • Evolving digital tools in construction safety (05:39) • Importance of site-specific safety plans (07:24) • Impact of safety on project profitability (16:00) • Building a strong site safety culture (22:55) • Crucial role of communication in safety (28:09) "In the building game, we want to avoid loss rather than maximize profit." - Owen Chambers Safety isn't about regulations, it's about protecting your workers and avoiding serious injuries.

Life will often take you to places you least expect. What’s important is how you design your life with the cards thrown at you. Take Owen’s case for example. He’s gone from a professional athlete to The Professional Builder’s General Manager. How did this happen? Let's find out! Owen Chambers is all about peak performance. As a professional water polo player, he thrives in an environment where he’s pushed to his limits. During his off-seasons, he worked construction jobs. He enjoyed the work, atmosphere, and people in the industry, but skill-wise, there's a lot to improve. Over time, he became interested in learning about pricing, processes, and the ins and outs of the biz. This curiosity led him to TPB, where he became one of Marti's first mentees. Eight years later, he's seen TPB grow to where it is today, with over 700+ current members and 2000+ businesses helped. An athlete's mindset revolves around continuous improvement, discipline, and teamwork. This mindset is also crucial for building a sustainable business.
