EP337: The Contractor’s Edge- One Degree of Correction

Implement weekly 'Compass Calls' to review past plans, set new goals, and collectively address challenges with a peer group, ensuring continuous improvement.

Recognize that 'falling through the cracks' is often a sign of growth; identify the specific areas of your business or life where problems are occurring (admin, sales, production, health) to address them effectively.

Track key metrics in your business and personal life with precision (e.g., caloric intake, project timelines, sales numbers) rather than guessing, as small deviations accumulate over time.

Prioritize fixing one 'most bothersome' problem at a time instead of trying to solve everything at once, using small, consistent 1-degree corrections.

Utilize visual aids like whiteboards to map out complex tasks or problems, ensuring clarity and enabling more informed decision-making and feedback from your team.

Actively engage with peer groups for support and advice; sharing 'confessions' or challenges can lead to collective problem-solving and insights from diverse experiences.

Set clear, non-negotiable boundaries for personal and family time, even as an entrepreneur, to maintain personal well-being and strong family relationships. Communicate these boundaries transparently with clients.
