Forget About Goal Setting: Focus on Habits & Systems Instead | E273

Construction business owners doing $1M–$20M: fix your preconstruction and handoffs so you can stop firefighting and build a profitable business that runs without you.  

For custom home builders, remodelers, commercial GCs, and trade contractors, this podcast shows you how to design a real preconstruction process and nail the handoff from office to field. If your projects are slipping, profit is bleeding out through rework and giveaways, and everything lives in your head, you'll get practical systems to tighten precon, cut chaos, and turn your construction business into a more profitable, controllable machine that runs without you.  

Over time, you'll use what you hear on this show to:  

✅ Buy back your time– spend less of your week in day‑to‑day fires and more of it leading, selling, and actually living your life.  

✅ Maximize your profit from the work you already do instead of just grinding for more volume.
  
✅ Scale with confidence – grow the business without doubling your hours or losing control.
  
✅ Turn your company into a real asset, not just a job – one that can run without you, give you real vacations, and eventually support whatever exit or lifestyle you want.  

Host Todd Dawalt has spent nearly 30 years in construction and the last decade coaching hundreds of builders, remodelers, GCs, and trade contractors on these issues, managing over $300M of projects and helping companies uncover millions in hidden profit.
