EPISODE 411: What happens when you realize you are the bottleneck in your construction business?

Meet Travis Balcom, owner of TAB Construction LLC, a custom home-building company based in upstate New York.

Last year, Travis was ready to quit. His construction business was growing, but so were the late nights, the headaches, and the burnout. He was the go-to for every problem—and it was breaking him.

Travis realized he was the bottleneck in his business. Everything was in his head, and he needed to be involved in every aspect of the project.

Today, you’ll learn…

• How Travis transitioned from electrician to full-time custom homebuilder

• The danger of the “Just Enough to Start” trap in construction

• How the Systematize Your Construction Business (SYCB) program helped him delegate and empower his team

• Why letting his team handle the planning improved efficiency and ownership

• How systematizing his business gave him freedom, balance, and growth

..and much more!

If you’re stuck in reactive mode, constantly firefighting, or just want more freedom from your episode, this episode is a must-listen.
