EPISODE 395: Most construction business owners believe that success is all about ā€œgetting itā€. Getting that big contract. Hitting that revenue goal. But chasing milestones can feel exhausting and overwhelming.

Around 70% of construction businesses shut down within five years. What’s even more alarming? Construction has the second-highest suicide rate of any industry.

What if many of the deepest struggles owners face stem from one flawed belief?

In this episode of Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I’ll share a powerful mindset shift for construction CEOs and business owners.

  • Why preparation, not just achievement, is the real key to lasting success

  • How to sustain success without burning out

  • The hidden cost of shortcuts and risk-taking

  • How amateurs and professionals prepare differently

…and so much more!
