In this episode of The Contractor Fight, hosts Tim and Derek dig deep into the concept of resistance—how it shows up in our lives and businesses, and how facing it head-on can lead to massive breakthroughs. Using relatable stories, tough love, and contractor-tested wisdom, they explore how resistance is often a sign that you're exactly where you need to be—and that it’s time to act.

Whether it's sending that quote, delegating tasks, or doing the hard but necessary things, Tim and Derek make a compelling case for why contractors need to stop resisting and start doing. This is your call to stop procrastinating and take ownership of your life and business.

In this episode, Tim and Derek discuss:

• How resistance often signals the exact thing you need to do next
• Why contractors procrastinate and how to break the cycle
• Letting go of perfectionism and learning to delegate effectively
• The emotional toll of holding onto tasks and how it impacts your time and energy
• Creating systems and teams so you can focus on what you do best
• Empowering others by letting go—and why that benefits everyone
• A hilarious Chuck Norris analogy that perfectly sums up the power of pushing through
