Finding balance between work and family is crucial. We've learned to practice self-control on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, when we tackle calendar work. Mapping out things like your child's school schedule is a must, so you never have to be the one saying 'sorry, I can't pick her up'. As entrepreneurs, we have the freedom to manage our own calendars, but let's not forget the importance of making money and bringing in clients. Sometimes we have to work harder, but if we commit to using a calendar and saying no when necessary, we'll find success. It's okay if not everyone understands. #WorkLifeBalance #EntrepreneurLife #SelfControl
Sometimes, the best moments come from deviating from our carefully planned schedules. We've noticed that when we allow ourselves the freedom to wander and explore, incredible opportunities arise. Remember, your calendar should serve you and your goals, not the other way around. So, go ahead and embrace those one-off creative moments that can lead to something amazing. #EmbraceSpontaneity #UnplannedAdventures #CreativityUnleashed
Social isolation can be a trap, especially for us business owners. We often shut ourselves off from the world to focus on our tasks, but we forget that human connection is essential. It's easy to feel disconnected and unproductive. So, step outside, call a friend, and prioritize human connection every day. It's how we're wired. Self-awareness is key. Recognize when you're stuck in that cycle and be your own boss. Push yourself to break free and find balance. Remember, it's about grace without excuses. #SocialIsolation #HumanConnection #SelfAwareness
Being a business owner with ADHD can be overwhelming. With a thousand things to do every day, it's easy to prioritize the tasks we enjoy and push the rest to the back burner. But it's time to change that. Let's focus on three important tasks each week that may not be fun but are necessary for growth. Put them on your calendar and commit to getting them done. Maybe designate a specific time, like Tuesday mornings from 8 to 10, as your 'crap morning' where you tackle the less enjoyable tasks. Create an environment that supports your productivity and find ways to enjoy the space you're working in. What albums or music do you listen to while working? #ADHD #Productivity #BusinessOwners
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial, and this guy I recently spoke to had an interesting perspective. He believes that the state of his company can be determined by how well he follows his calendar. At first, he was meticulously planning every day, but when things got hectic, he lost track. He realized that his mental health was directly linked to the emptiness or fullness of his calendar. It's a reminder for all of us to avoid falling into the reactive mode. #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealthMatters #PrioritizeYourself
Stop settling for just checking a box when it comes to finding vendors! Take the time to treat it like hiring an employee and minimize the risks. Learn how to approach it strategically in this podcast episode. #VendorSearch #StrategicApproach #EmployeeMindset
Building successful projects starts with building strong relationships. Don't wait until after the bid is completed to find vendors and subs. Engage with clients early on, understand the project requirements, and connect with reliable trades. Having those conversations beforehand ensures you have the right team in place. #BuildingSuccess #StrongRelationships #TradesThatMatter

Planning ahead is key when it comes to hiring. We've learned the hard way that bad hires can cost us money. That's why we've taken a strategic approach and laying out our hiring goals for the next 12 months. If we can accomplish X, Y, and Z before then, we'll be ready to take action. It's all about having a game plan and being financially prepared. #HiringStrategy #PlanningAhead #FinancialSuccess
Finding ways to streamline your process while ensuring accurate pricing for our projects is always a challenge. One strategy we use is to focus on tasks that don't require additional expenses. For example, putting together lumber packages and keeping our Gantt chart updated are essential for effective due diligence. By doing this, we can ensure our lumber pricing is correct and avoid unexpected costs. Another aspect often overlooked is pricing out hardware items. Including these details in our planning helps us create accurate quotes. Permit research, on-site meetings with architects, surveyors, and septic experts to determine fuel line placement all take up your valuable time and should be taken into consideration. Gathering all this information allows us to confidently stand behind our quotes and avoid change orders. #CostEffectivePlanning #AccuratePricing #ProjectManagement
Putting in the extra care and thought into estimates can make a huge difference! Clients appreciate the attention to detail, even if we don't end up working together.

Finding the right clients is all about having a process that aligns with your strengths and preferences. When you receive a lot of information from potential clients, it's a great opportunity to understand what matters most to them. If you have a well-established process in place, you can avoid unnecessary legwork and focus on what truly matters. 💪✅ Start the conversation right by clarifying your role and understanding their needs from the beginning. 🗣️💼 Building a clear and strong relationship starts with having clarity in your approach. 💯 #FindingTheRightClients #ProcessIsKey #BuildingStrongRelationships
