The Hidden Chaos Holding Back Your Contracting Business (And How to Stop It)

My Business On Purpose

You know that dashboard in front of you when you get in a car and start driving it around? One of the things you're looking at, obviously, is the speedometer, odometer, the fuel gauge—those sorts of things. But it’s also those lights, those warning lights that can come up and let you know what the performance of the car is doing. And so in business, we have a dashboard. We operate via dashboard. And with that dashboard, there are also some warning lights—some yellow lights, some red lights—that we can look for. Hey, it’s Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. I wanted to walk you, as...

My Business On Purpose

Is your leadership running at full speed… but your energy running on empty? In this episode of The Dickie & Donny Show, Shawn “Dickie” Stinson and Brandon “Donny” Gray dig into a silent leadership killer—overfunctioning systems—and how they quietly drain your capacity, weaken your team, and leave you teetering on the edge of burnout.

Through the vivid metaphor of a dying tree—rotting...

Hate Conflict? 10 Ways To Confront Tough Situations

My Business On Purpose

Well, there are some things that I love in life and there are some things that I want to avoid like the plague. Conflict is one of those. I am not one of those that looks to run into conflict. In fact, I would classify myself as pretty conflict averse. But I’ve had to learn over time that leadership requires these things to come out eventually. That doesn’t mean I’ve done them great. Actually, this picture you see—if you’re watching on video—I got from a buddy of mine, Rob Shreve. Don’t worry, audio listeners, I’ll walk through it. Rob has this book by John Maxwell, a...

From Frustration to Flow: Building a System-Driven, Growth-Minded Business (for less than 50 employees)

My Business On Purpose

Most of the businesses we work with have less than 100 employees. In fact, if you were to do a bell curve, you'd see that most of our clients fall somewhere between five and 50 employees in that sweet spot. So we tend to give a lot of examples. The majority of our clients are in the contracting space or the AEC space—architecture, engineering, contracting—or industries that support those. It’s a privilege to work with them. Within that, what we typically run into is not a lack of ideas or concepts, but a mindset barrier—that tends to be the rub—that keeps them from being liberated...

Every Business Owners Can Grow Using These Five Simple Tools

My Business On Purpose

Recently, Ashley and I have had the privilege of meeting with some young couples and talking to them as they're just coming into marriage or preparing to be married. They often ask us a variety of questions, as you would expect from anyone talking to a couple who’s been married for a while.

It makes sense that money and finances are also a very real issue for business owners, especially those who are married and both spouses...
