EPISODE Notes

Building a winning team isn’t about finding perfect people – it’s about creating the systems that turn good people into great performers. Ben from Twizel keeps half his staff for over five years and runs a $10 million company because he treats his business like a sports team, not a family.

Join Marti as he breaks down Chapter 3 of The Profitable Builder’s Playbook: How to Build a Winning Team. Discover why the difference between a $500K builder and a $5M building company owner isn’t skill – it’s whether they’ve built a team or built themselves a prison.

Learn the complete Winning Team Framework, including how to establish company values that actually drive behavior, create scorecards that give clarity to both you and your team, and implement the PSR Problem-Solving Framework that will transform how your team approaches challenges.

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.
