EPISODE Notes

Every building business owner knows the pressure of running a construction business can quickly stack up. 

But what if there was a proactive approach to maintaining mental fitness – focused on prevention rather than crisis?

• Practical techniques for transitioning from work mode to home life… so you can actually SWITCH OFF after work

About Your Hosts

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.

This is not your fault.

You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.

This is why we created The Professional Builder.

Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.

Our proven systems have been used by 5,000+ builders from New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Canada, and all around the world to get back their freedom.
