How Contractors Can Thrive This Spring By Aligning Their Team, Time & Numbers w/ Business Consultant, Frank Bourque

Identify your top 3 weekly priorities by defining the 'who, what, and when' for each task to ensure clear direction and accountability.

Foster team alignment through purposeful meetings where you ask team members if they understand their goals, how to achieve them, and what support they need.

Empower your team by asking open-ended questions and allowing them to propose solutions, building their problem-solving skills and buy-in.

Avoid the 'busyness trap' by distinguishing between being constantly active and being truly productive and efficient.

Track key financial metrics such as revenue per crew, gross profit, and costs of goods sold to understand actual profitability and make informed business decisions.

Be proactive, not reactive, in planning and execution; early preparation and learning from mistakes will lead to better year-end results.

Recognize and address blind spots by humbly engaging your team, enabling them to help you identify areas for improvement and develop a more comprehensive client experience.
