If not, why do so many do it? This is the million-dollar question. And it actually may be. The amount of dollars lost by procrastinating is costing money and a lot of it. Decisions have consequences. Every decision we make every day comes with consequences. Some of those consequences may be good, some may not.

That’s a question that’s going to take some research! Have you ever noticed how stubborn people in construction are? From my experience, they are some of the most headstrong and obstinate people you’ll ever meet. It’s like they are so bullheaded that they’re not willing to make any changes. Why is that? We get into this in detail in this week's podcast!

Trying to spin too many plates at the same time can make you dizzy.

The number of things we’re trying to get done just increases around the Holidays. I know the last couple of weeks I’ve have felt like I had a lot of plates spinning.

Most construction companies operate this way, they’re trying to do too many things at a time. Just like the performer who keeps putting more and more spinning plates up on the end of sticks, we keep trying to do more and more.

Dreams don’t magically build themselves. This includes a dream business.

I had a wake up call through my accident in 2012. That was when it became clear to me that my business and life had been on autopilot without much intentionality.

There was so much more that I wanted to accomplish. I had been going through the motions of living without acting on the plan.

And there’s more to the right tool than you might think. 

There is a tool out there for every job, usually more than one. As cool as they all are, they’re worthless if you don’t have them and don’t use them.

The biggest “tool” problem is…the lack of “business BUILDing tools”. 

Don't miss the Holiday Special on our Business BUILDing Toolbox beginning on Black Friday, Nov. 24th, when the toolbox will be half off it's original price. But this sale won't last long!

It’s like opening the perfect Christmas gift.

Make your construction project like opening that gift on Christmas morning that you’ve always wanted. It doesn’t have to be a stocking full of coal.

Finding the right builder is like doing a construction project, in that it’s not as scary as it seems if you know what questions to ask and have someone you trust guiding you.

And I don’t mean getting a stocking full of coal! It’s a little like a home construction project. Different people have had different construction experiences…some good and some not so much. The problem with construction is that there are more bad experiences than good, and it shouldn’t be this way. A home construction project should be like Christmas.

The reason most construction businesses are stuck here is fear. They are afraid that trying something different might not work. They choose the discomfort of the known over the unknown.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Do you think the construction business of your dreams is worth it?

One of the biggest issues in construction is that most people in this industry are willing to do the hard physical work of building a building but will work even harder to avoid the work of building the business.

Building the business of your dreams is a choice.

It’s really not that hard…it just requires a change of perspective.

There are countless reasons that businesses fail, but just because other businesses fail, doesn’t mean yours will too. Being aware of and understanding these statistics increases your chance of survival.

You can’t succeed if you don’t try.
