Weekly Update #13: Leadership, Planning, and Real Talk


Listen Later

This week on Trades Talk, host Justin White shares Weekly Update 13, covering how contractors are preparing for 2026, what happens when leadership systems break down, and why mindset matters long before you reach eight figures.

With January 1 on the horizon, contractors are focused on budget planning, rate increases, and multi year enhancement programs. Some are holding pricing for loyal, high margin clients, while others are raising rates up to 10 percent for underperforming accounts. Justin explains how sharing operational improvements like route efficiency, crew training, and the adoption of electric equipment can build trust and justify pricing.

In this episode, Justin shares:

• How to think with an eight figure mindset even at five or six
• Why systems collapse when leadership turns over without a plan
• What it takes to rebuild accountability and support frustrated teams
• How a new Leadership Accelerator Sprint is training mid level leaders
• What to expect from Aspire Ignite and Lean Scaper this September

Justin also gets real about challenges inside his own company and how leaders can create structure and support without burning people out. If you are growing fast and working to build a more stable operation, this episode is full of insight.
