EPISODE 403: What if your construction business doubled tomorrow? Would it thrive or break?

You might think the answer is hiring a unicorn project manager to finally grow your business.

But here’s the truth: the real reason your construction business can’t scale isn’t about finding the perfect hire. It’s because your business isn’t built to handle growth. And if it doubled in size, it would likely break.

In this episode of the Construction Leading Edge podcast, I’ll reveal how to engineer a business that grows without chaos.

Here’s what you’ll learn…

  • What really happens when your business doubles without the right systems

  • How to know if your business is ready to scale (don’t skip this)

  • Why you don’t need a unicorn employee to grow

  • A simple 3-step formula to double your business in 12 months

  • How to build a ā€œsingle source of truthā€ playbook

…and more!

If you want to double your revenue, cut your working hours, and finally take that family trip, then you don’t want to miss this.

Let’s dive in!

The cost of unprepared growth (03:11)

When you scale your business the right way (06:49)
