EPISODE Notes

After 10 months as a one-man bathroom renovation business, Rob was trapped. When you’re responsible for everything, you can’t take time away – and when you do, you’re still on the phone handling emergencies.

Join Owen Chambers and coach Carla as they break down how Rob transformed his Texas renovation business using TPB’s hiring framework. Discover why his previous helper didn’t work out, how the right job ad attracted A-plus talent instead of 200 mediocre applicants, and the specific strategies that let him take not one but two holidays while his business ran perfectly without him.

Learn the secret filtering techniques that separate world-class candidates from time-wasters, why your job ad needs to market the opportunity (not just list requirements), and how Rob’s systematic approach to Google reviews is driving organic leads in his local market.

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.
