Isn't it frustrating when you've spent six months quoting a massive architectural project, only for the client to pull the pin at the very last second?
Or when your best supervisor hands in their notice right as your busiest season kicks off? It feels like you’re taking one step forward and two steps back.
What if you could look at every site disaster, every lost contract, and every difficult conversation as the exact fuel you need to grow a better, more profitable business?
We explore the powerful "Good" framework and how Australian builders are using it to de-risk their businesses, refine their quoting, and build stronger relationships with architects, even when things go wrong.
This episode is a must-listen for any builder looking to build a resilient mindset and turn daily obstacles into long-term opportunities.
You'll learn:
- How to apply the "Jocko" mindset to the Australian building site, why saying "Good" to a project manager quitting might be the best thing for your systems.
- The secret to winning against "Veteran" builders, how being the underdog allows you to out-prepare, out-think, and out-communicate the competition.
- Turning "Bad News" into client trust, the technique for handling massive variations and asbestos finds in a way that actually strengthens your brand.
Are you a builder? Do you want to be cutting-edge in your marketplace?
