I can’t do everything myself.

That realization usually shows up right when momentum starts to build. There's more opportunities, more interest, which means more work.

If I’m going to help construction companies build their businesses and continue doing construction… I’m going to need some more help.

Delegating sounds simple, but hiring well is hard. Rushing to fill a role rarely ends well, yet staying stretched too thin isn’t a plan either.

Sometimes the next step forward isn’t doing more, it’s getting the right support in place so the business can grow without burning out the person running it.

"What should I do first?”
“There are so many things to choose from.”

Too often, days are spent fighting fires instead of making real progress. Firefighting feels productive, but it’s one of the worst ways to prioritize.

With a limited amount of time, knowing what’s urgent, what’s important, and what truly matters requires clarity, preparation, and intentional decisions.

Hot fires are a good way to get burned. The better prepared you are, the less intense the fire, and the faster it can be put out.

I Know, This Sounds a Little Backward

Most people plan by guessing how much time or effort something will take and then wonder why they’re always rushed or behind.

Planning backward flips that on its head by starting with where you want to end up and mapping the steps needed to get there. Whether you’re managing your time or building toward a major business goal, this approach puts you back in control. Start with the outcome, work backward, and take action today.
