There's a lie that experienced builders get caught saying… it goes like this: "If I can get through this year, I’ll make the changes I’ve been putting off in the business. I’ll FINALLY stop getting pulled into the day-to-day…and I can focus on the big picture. Then I'll get back a bit of my life." You can't outwork a dysfunctional business, and if you are a hard-working contractor, it shouldn’t be so difficult to build a business that serves you. The thing is…no one tells you where to start. And you're not sure you have time to do anything systematically right now — even if you knew exactly where to begin. But the good news, Benji at Breakthrough Academy will share the 6 Systems you need to refine your trades business – so you can reduce stress and speed up growth. This talk blends inspiration and practical resources to help you implement better systems!
