69. How saying no & finding clarity helped Andrew rebuild his business

What happens when a builder rediscovers his spark? In this episode, we unpack the five-year transformation of Andrew Debono – from running on fumes in a labour-hire grind to building a thriving, purpose-driven business in residential construction.

Burnt out and losing passion, Andrew knew something had to change. With guidance, grit and a commitment to growth, he reshaped his business, rebuilt his team, and shifted into a leadership role that reignited his love for the trade.

Along the way, he also reclaimed his health, his time, and his presence with family.

Now leading a team of 13 with an eight-month pipeline, Andrew reflects on the power of saying no, the value of coaching, and how the right people can supercharge a business.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔨 Saying yes to everything nearly broke the business and burned Andrew out.
🔨 Rediscovering passion meant leaving commercial work and returning to residential projects.
🔨 Coaching showed Andrew how to transition strategically, not recklessly.
🔨 Building the right team required letting go of the wrong people.
🔨 Health, family time, and mindset shifted alongside business transformation.
🔨 Clarity came from defining values and aligning the business accordingly.
