Transcribe →Time is Currency
May 400:07:03Tap to summarizeFor contractors, investing time means learning proper job pricing, understanding numbers, building systems, reading, planning, and surrounding yourself with people playing a bigger game—activities that grow the business and the owner. Spending time covers necessary day-to-day tasks like answering calls, running job sites, and putting out fires, which maintain operations but don’t drive growth. Donating time is portrayed as most dangerous, including time wasted on tire-kicker clients, draining conversations, and people who discourage growth. The difference between average owners and high-level operators is how they leverage time through systems and teams, leading into an invitation to join the Conquer Contractor Chaos School community.About us: Just Go Here CONQUER CONTRACTOR CHAOS PROAbout the Show: Ready to conquer the chaos of owning a construction business?"
