EPISODE 263: Are you spending your weekends on timesheets and payroll? If that's how your weekend looks, you have a big problem going on with your business.

And that's what we'll solve for you in this week's episode of The Construction Leading Edge podcast.

We've invited James Jessop, Ben Ercanbrack, and Isaac Barlow to talk about how they've finally won back their time and increased their revenue using the Busybusy app.

Busybusy is an easy-to-use construction time-tracking app with features like digital employee clock in and out, photo upload for project documentation, equipment visibility, accurate job costing, and much more.

As a project manager twenty years ago, I know how complex projects are, and I've learned that business management is way more important than the actual ability to build. And if you don't strengthen the business management side of things, then you won't have anything to build.

The numbers are out there to prove that. 

One of them shows that 70% of construction companies fail within seven years. And one of the major roadblocks in a construction business is the employee timesheet. Overpayment, unverified timestamps, over breaks, and unclear task documentation - do these sound familiar to you?

So, if you’re in that same boat, make sure to tune in to today's episode as we unpack the benefits of using Busybusy and how it would impact your company and clients.

This episode is about how we reduce the number of decisions we make every day. It’s a principle we’ve adopted over the years which allows us to be very productive and do a ton of things at once. You are only as good as your systems.

Action Steps:

1. Identify times you make the same decision every day and make a week’s worth of decisions at a time!
2. Practice building systems which remove the number of decisions required to arrive at an outcome

In this quick slice, we jump straight in with 4 tips on how you can manage some of your time better.  These hacks have saved us loads of time over the years and made us more efficient.  Give them a quick listen and share some of your own tips and time hacks with us!

In this episode, Amanda shares how you can create more time to create the life you desire. She shares simple yet powerful solutions to common time-sucking activities, including scrolling social media on your phone, and how to easily manage this time. This is step 2 in the 12 Days of Sanity Mini-Series, created to give you bite-sized tasks to help clear out the clutter and hold on to every last thread of sanity during this crazy holiday season.

Most likely, when you start your business you're doing everything all by yourself. As your business grows, there is a strong need to delegate tasks so you can focus more on scaling your business. This is when outsourcing becomes necessary.

You may say you’re the only one who knows everything in your business and that you can’t afford to hire somebody else to do it for you, but the reality is you can actually hire someone who is competent to handle your tasks. Delegating tasks will save you time and money. I invite you to make a list of everything you do in your business and ask yourself these questions: Is this making me money? Should this be delegated? Is this a good use of my time?

Think about what kind of business you want. Do you want the freedom and easy to design your lifestyle? Learn to delegate today so you won't get stuck on that never-ending hamster wheel!
