From Lockdowns & Losses to Landing Big Deals

Rock bottom is like stepping into the unknown. Picture a place that feels cold and dark, where nothing seems to grow, and the only way is up. For two of our members, rock bottom meant facing bankruptcy and enduring lockdowns.

Now, put yourself in their shoes:

• Imagine your business bleeding money every day.
• Feel the isolation of building a construction company on your own.

How do you keep going?

Welcome to The Builders Ladder Podcast. Today, we bring you a special back-to-back episode featuring members Dave Hughes and Brent Tamati.

Dave joined TPB when his business was in the red to the point of declaring bankruptcy. Today, their company stands as the second-largest duplex builder in their area. He shares how they managed to turn things around.

Brent joined TPB during strict lockdowns, wanting to improve his business systems. But TPB provided more than that. It offered a sense of belonging among fellow business owners facing similar challenges. He tells us how mentorship and community helped him change his mindset and elevate his business.

While Dave and Brent have different stories, common themes emerge:

• How a shift in mindset sparked their growth.
• Implementing systems for top-notch clients and services.
• Effectively managing and leading teams.
• The importance of community, support, and mentorship.
• Adaptability and learning from setbacks.
• Balancing work and personal life.

At TPB, we champion learning from others’ experiences. If you’re battling alone or struggling to stay afloat, this episode is custom-built for you. Take a pause, sip some water, and learn from Dave and Brent’s success stories.
