Podcasts about building success

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, host Zorina Dimitrova talks with Brian Brault—a serial entrepreneur, Inc. 500 founder, and former Global Chair of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO)—about what really drives lasting business success: relationships and authentic leadership. From starting a hot dog stand at age 5 to scaling his company to double digit million and 300+ employees without a sales team, Brian shares real, raw stories of building businesses through trust, connection, and purpose. He dives into how vulnerability made him a better leader, why “Papa Days” with his grandchildren matter just as much as board meetings, and how relationship-driven leadership can transform your team—and your life. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or business leader looking to scale with heart, this conversation will change how you grow.

This Podcast Is Episode 632, And It's About Navigating Job Site Challenges For Small Construction Businesses As a small construction business owner, you're not just a builder; you're a problem-solver, a negotiator, a project manager, and often, the first one on-site and the last one to leave. While the vision for a completed project is always clear, the path to getting there is often paved with unforeseen challenges, daily inconveniences, and persistent problems.   I've seen it time and again from my vantage point, both as a previous construction business owner and now a construction bookkeeping specialist: these job site issues, if left unchecked, don't just delay projects – they eat into profits, strain client relationships, and can even jeopardize the future of your business. But here's the good news: recognizing common pitfalls is the first step to conquering them.   1. The Relentless March of Labor Shortages The U.S. construction industry is grappling with a significant shortage of skilled labor. Finding qualified carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople can be a constant headache, leading to project delays, increased labor costs, and a struggle to take on new work. How to Handle It: Invest in Training & Apprenticeships: Partner with local trade schools, community colleges, or established apprenticeship programs. Grow your talent by investing in on-the-job training for less experienced workers. Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Review your wage scales and benefits package. Offering competitive pay, health insurance, and retirement plans can significantly improve attraction and retention in a tight labor market. Employee Referrals: Encourage your current, trusted employees to refer candidates by offering a bonus for successful hires. Cross-Training: Train your existing crew members on multiple tasks to increase their versatility and cover gaps when a specific skill is in short supply. Utilize Technology for Efficiency: Leverage project management software to optimize scheduling and minimize wasted labor hours, maximizing the productivity of your existing workforce. 2. Escalating Material Costs & Supply Chain Disruptions From lumber and steel to concrete and specialized components, material prices can fluctuate significantly, and supply chain issues can lead to frustrating delays. This unpredictability makes accurate bidding and project profitability a constant challenge. How to Handle It: Early & Bulk Ordering: When feasible, order materials well in advance, especially for items with long lead times or volatile prices. Consider bulk purchasing when storage and cash flow allow. Multiple Supplier Relationships: Cultivate strong relationships with several suppliers. Having backup options is crucial for urgent needs or when your primary supplier faces delays. Price Escalation Clauses: Include clauses in your contracts that allow for price adjustments if material costs exceed a certain percentage, protecting your profit margins from sudden spikes. Explore Alternatives: Be open to using alternative materials or construction methods that offer cost savings or improved availability without compromising quality or code compliance. Real-time Cost Tracking: Utilize robust accounting and project management software to track material costs in real-time against your budget, enabling quick adjustments. 3. Navigating the Regulatory Maze: OSHA, Permitting, & Local Codes The U.S. construction industry is heavily regulated, with strict rules from federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as complex state and local permitting and building codes. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, project delays, and legal liabilities. How to Handle It: Prioritize Safety (OSHA Compliance): Implement a comprehensive safety program to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and maintain a safe work environment. Conduct regular safety meetings (toolbox talks), provide proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and ensure all workers are trained on OSHA regulations relevant to their tasks. Regular site inspections are key. Dedicated Compliance Officer: For larger businesses, consider designating a team member to be responsible for staying up-to-date on all relevant regulations and ensuring compliance. Permit Proactiveness: Start the permitting process early. Understand the specific requirements of each municipality you work in, as these can vary significantly. Consult Experts: Don't hesitate to consult with legal counsel, an experienced construction bookkeeper, or a safety consultant to ensure full compliance. Documentation is Key: Maintain meticulous records of all safety training, inspections, permits, and communications with regulatory bodies. 4. Poor Communication & Coordination Among Stakeholders Construction projects involve numerous moving parts: your crew, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, inspectors, and, of course, the client. Miscommunication or a lack of coordination can lead to costly errors, delays, and friction. How to Handle It: Implement Project Management Software: Utilize software designed explicitly for construction that enables centralized communication, scheduling, document sharing, and progress tracking, accessible to all relevant parties. Daily Huddles & Weekly Meetings: Conduct brief daily huddles with your on-site team to review tasks, address immediate concerns, and assign responsibilities. Hold weekly meetings with key subcontractors and the client for larger updates. Transparent Chains of Command: Define who is responsible for what and establish clear reporting lines to ensure accountability. Documentation of Decisions: Follow up verbal discussions with written summaries (emails or notes in your project management system) to avoid "he said, she said" disputes. Manage Client Expectations: Set realistic expectations from the outset regarding timelines, budget, and potential challenges. Implement a formal change order process for any scope adjustments. 5. Cash Flow Challenges & Budget Overruns Delayed payments from clients, unexpected expenses, and inaccurate cost tracking can quickly lead to cash flow issues and projects spiraling over budget, jeopardizing your business's financial stability. How to Handle It: Accurate Job Costing: This is my wheelhouse! Implement a robust job costing system that tracks every expense (labor, materials, equipment, subs) against specific projects. This helps you identify where money is being spent and where you might be losing profitability. Detailed & Realistic Bidding: Don't underbid to win a project. Include a reasonable contingency fund (typically 10-15%) for unforeseen issues. Progress Billing: Structure your contracts to allow for progress payments based on milestones achieved. This ensures a steady inflow of cash as work progresses. Aggressive Invoice Follow-Up: Don't let invoices sit unpaid. Have a straightforward process for following up with clients on outstanding payments. Leverage Technology: Utilize accounting software integrated with your project management tools to automate invoicing, track receivables, and monitor cash flow in real time. Building Success, One Solution at a Time Being a small construction business owner in the U.S. is not for the faint of heart. The challenges are significant, but they are not insurmountable. By proactively addressing these common job site problems with thoughtful planning, clear communication, strategic technology adoption, and a strong financial management system, you'll not only overcome obstacles but also build a more resilient, reputable, and profitable construction company that stands strong for years to come. Your foundation for success is built not just on steel and concrete but on sound operational and financial practices. P.S. We wish our construction community fathers a "Happy Father's Day" this coming weekend for being actual builders, both at work and at home! Your dedication to your craft inspires those around you, and the strength you show on the job site mirrors the strength you provide to your family. Thanks for laying a solid foundation of love, support, and hard work in our lives. Enjoy your special day—you've earned it!

In the latest episode of Raising Private Money with Jay Conner, our esteemed guest Scott Aaron, a seasoned entrepreneur and LinkedIn expert, shares his inspiring resilience journey and the transformative power of leveraging LinkedIn for business success. Scott's story is a compelling testament to the power of mindset, community, and strategic action in overcoming life's toughest challenges.The Art of Resiliency: Scott Aaron's JourneyScott Aaron's journey is not just about entrepreneurial success but about mastering the art of resilience. Jay Conner introduces Scott's story, noting his initial triumph in selling his first business for a million dollars and his subsequent challenges, including facing a multimillion-dollar liability debt. Despite these setbacks, Scott never viewed them as failures but as the foundations of his comeback story.Growing up, Scott was thrust into leadership at a young age when his father, also an entrepreneur, was incarcerated. Taking over the family fitness business, Scott navigated significant personal and professional challenges. His father's advice to be his person rather than trying to emulate someone else was pivotal in shaping Scott's resilient mindset.Key Lessons in Overcoming AdversityScott emphasizes two key lessons from his experiences. Firstly, maintaining a positive outlook and focusing on solutions rather than problems. He believes that no matter what problem someone is facing, there is likely a solution for it. This mindset helped him to constantly find solutions and move forward.Secondly, Scott highlights the importance of putting pride aside and not being afraid to ask for help. He recalls a crucial turning point when a friend's question about his business sustainability prompted him to seek new opportunities. This openness to seeking help and learning from others was instrumental in his transition from the fitness industry to leveraging LinkedIn for professional growth.LinkedIn: From Personal Struggle to Business TriumphScott's shift to LinkedIn began out of necessity. Realizing that his in-person fitness training model wasn't sustainable for a fulfilling family life, he sought ways to reach his clientele online. Identifying LinkedIn as the ideal platform, he started connecting with business professionals and, within six months, matched his in-person earnings through online coaching.This success led to the realization that LinkedIn could solve a significant problem for others in his industry. Encouraged by a friend's feedback, Scott developed a business model around teaching others his LinkedIn strategies, which has since grown into a thriving enterprise. Together with his wife, Scott now runs multiple companies, all leveraging the power of LinkedIn to enhance business growth.Tips for Leveraging LinkedIn EffectivelyScott shares valuable insights on how to maximize LinkedIn for business growth. He emphasizes the importance of optimizing your LinkedIn profile with relevant keywords, professional descriptions, and showcasing testimonials. Here are some key takeaways:Profile Optimization: Ensure your LinkedIn profile is fully optimized with keywords that your ideal client or business partner might search for. This includes a detailed headline, a comprehensive about section, and a well-presented experience section.Networking Over Selling: Focus on building relationships rather than selling. Avoid spamming potential connections with generic, sales-focused messages. Personalize your communication to build genuine connections.Social Proof: Gather and display recommendations and testimonials on your profile. These serve as powerful social proof of your expertise and credibility.Continuous Engagement: Stay active by creating valuable content, engaging with your network's posts, and consistently connecting with new potential clients or partners.
