As a contractor, have you ever delegated something, assumed it was getting done… and then found out it wasn’t?

That happened to me this week—and it led to a powerful reminder about what real delegation and leadership look like.

In this episode of The Profit Builder Unscripted, I share a breakdown I had with my team that turned into a breakthrough in getting OUT of the weeds!

But I still need systems in place that give me feedback—without micromanaging.

Listen in as I share what shifted and how you can create more accountability in your team without being in the middle of everything.

Ever tried stepping back from the day-to-day, only to watch things start slipping through the cracks?

In this episode of The Profit Builder Unscripted, I talk about a question I hear from nearly every business owner at some point:
“How do I stay in control without being in the middle of everything?”

I’ll walk you through five steps that can help you delegate without losing traction, let go without losing control, and lead without micromanaging.

These are proven steps I use with my clients and in my own business.

You’ll hear:

• What needs to be clearly defined before handing anything off
• How position agreements build accountability and ownership
• Why regular check-ins, when done correctly, keep projects on track
• The power of simple, consistent feedback (it’s easier than you think!)
• And why trusting the process is key to long-term success

I’ll also share a real conversation I had with a client who was right in the middle of this transition.

If you’ve been struggling to step back while still driving results, this episode is for you.

Are you pouring time into project planning only to have homeowners walk away with your ideas for free? It’s time to start charging for pre-construction services!

In this episode, I sit down with veteran contractor David Davidson, who shares how one change helped him stop the profit bleed — and boosted his reputation at the same time. That was a surprising benefit he’d not expected!

David talks about the turning point that forced him to rethink how his company handled the front end of projects, and the surprising upside of asking clients to pay for pre-construction services.

If you’ve been feeling undervalued or stuck giving away your expertise, this conversation will show you a better way.

🎧 Plus: David has generously shared his pre-construction agreement templates (see the resources below)!
