Running your business all by yourself feels responsible until it becomes the very thing holding the business back. Sharing the load can change everything, but only if the shovels are placed in the right hands. 

And that’s the part most folks overlook…

Getting subcontractors on the job, coordinating material deliveries, and lining out the order of operations…all while juggling other construction projects in various stages, working on new proposals, and helping customers with project designs. Add to that everything outside of work like family, church, community, you name it.

Sounds like a pretty normal week in construction, doesn’t it?

Like anything else that’s worth doing, starting is the hard part. Saving money is no different. It’s like digging a hole.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have discussed why it’s critical to save money to keep your business afloat and how having a tool for that can help you figure out how much to save and what you’re saving it for. The Savings Transfer Sheet is like any other tool: it doesn’t do you a bit of good if you don’t actually use it.

Most business owners don’t fail because they can’t find work. They fail because they run out of money.

That's why it is so important to save intentionally, even when income isn’t consistent. That's where the Savings Transfer Sheet helps you plan ahead for big expenses, equipment replacements, and the unexpected costs that come with running a business.

Whether you’re just getting started or have been at it for years, learn how to have a clear plan for setting money aside and keeping your business stable no matter what comes your way.

It’s common for people in business to spend everything they make and not save for future investments or emergencies. For the most part, as a society we have become comfortable. There will be more, right?

We have forgotten how important it is to save money.

42% of Americans in 2022 had less than $1,000 in savings, and 10% didn’t have any. Businesses aren’t doing any better, and saving is every bit as important.

There’s a big difference between building a house and building a home.

A house is a structure. A home is a feeling— a place of warmth, safety, and belonging.

That same idea carries over into business and life. BUILDing something meaningful starts with clarity, intention, and a willingness to take action. I share what it means to BUILD in seven key areas of life: spiritual, family, vocation, financial, personal well-being, ministry, and community, and how a builder’s mindset can help shape more than just walls and roofs.

Because at the end of the day, BUILDing is about more than construction. It’s about creating the life and business you’re called to build.

If you’re anything like me, your to-do list probably never ends. Between projects, clients, estimates, and everything else that gets piled on your plate, it’s easy to feel like everything’s urgent and nothing can wait.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to figure out what’s actually most important. I’ll walk you through a simple tool that helps me sort through the chaos, focus on what matters, and quit wasting time on things that don’t move the needle.

We’ll talk about why prioritizing isn’t just about getting things done, but knowing your purpose, your “why,” and using that to make better decisions every day.

If you’re tired of feeling pulled in a hundred directions, this one’s for you.

We all have big dreams for our businesses, our lives, and our future. But what happens when the results don’t match our expectations? In this episode, we'll dig into what it really means to stay productive when progress feels slow (or nonexistent).

You’ll learn how to turn big, overwhelming dreams into practical, bite-sized goals, how to keep moving even when you’re discouraged, and why giving yourself grace is just as important as discipline.

Whether you’re building a construction company or rebuilding your confidence, this conversation will help you dust off, refocus, and take your next step forward.

If you’re ready to get clear and consistent in your construction business, I'm offering a free 30-minute consultation to help you set goals you’ll actually achieve.

It takes consistent review, accountability, and a system that actually works. We’ve all set goals and fallen short, and it’s easy to get frustrated or even stop setting them altogether. But progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about building habits and systems that help you move forward, one intentional step at a time.

When you take time to regularly review your goals, prioritize what matters most, and stay accountable, you create the structure needed to actually reach them. It’s about being flexible enough to adjust when life changes, but rigid enough to keep your priorities at the top of the list.

Whether you’re trying to build better habits, take more ownership, or simply get unstuck, consistent reflection and accountability are what turn goals from good intentions into real results.

Unless you’re a millionaire … waiting until the job is complete to get paid is a sure way to go out of business.

But it can be hard to ask a customer for a progress payment. Partially because there are too many stories of contractors asking for money upfront and then don't come back to complete the work for an extended period.

So you can’t blame customers for being hesitant to pay, or for honest contractors being nervous to ask.

This is why it’s important to have business tools and systems that communicate clearly and let all parties know what to expect.
