The Zone of Genius
In this episode we tackle a common challenge for busy construction professionals. Are you spending valuable hours on low-value tasks like reconciling receipts, chasing schedule pings, or handling supplier emails, instead of focusing on what truly drives your business forward? We call this the "indispensable trap," where you become the bottleneck by trying to handle everything, leading to lower win rates, slower growth, and more rework.
The Inbox Trap
In this episode, "The Inbox Trap," hosts Frank and Maya dive deep into a hidden drain on contractors' time and profits: managing your own email. Frank kicks off with some quick math, revealing how just five hours a week in email can equate to a significant "donation to the Gmail gods". But it's not just about the visible time; Maya highlights the invisible "focus tax" and how every "ding" pulls you away from critical jobsite priorities.
Discover "the real problem" isn't merely email volume, but the constant reactivity and context-switching that leads to errors and missed opportunities. You'll hear how tasks like reviewing plans are disrupted, and valuable time that could be spent on site walks, client lunches, or timely bids is lost.
