EPISODE 348: Do you find yourself working late into the night, constantly putting out fires in your construction business? This week's episode might be just what you need.

Meet Travis Balcom, owner of TAB Construction LLC, a custom home-building company based in upstate New York. Travis shares his transformative journey from being the bottleneck in his business to implementing effective systems that empower his team.

After his wife's pregnancy with their first child, he realized he needed to change his approach after feeling overwhelmed and burnt out.

Travis realized he was the bottleneck in his business. Everything was in his head, and he needed to be involved in every aspect. This led to reactive mode, dealing with constant fires and working late nights to compensate for the lack of planning.
