If everything in your remodeling business still has to run through you, eventually you become the bottleneck.

This week, Kyle sits down with Curtis Lawson, a Remodelers on the Rise Coach and owner of Crafted Custom Homes, to walk through the Delegate and Elevate exercise and how remodelers can use it to take a closer look at where their time is actually going. Curtis explains how to identify the work you should keep doing, what needs to be handed off, and why even the things you're good at may be holding you back if they continue taking up your time and energy.

They also talk about what effective delegation actually looks like once you decide to let something go, including clearer roles, better job descriptions, training your team, and creating the accountability needed to make sure the work gets done.
