    Buried in work and feeling like everything depends on you?

    That was Scott.

    He was the salesperson, estimator, project manager, scheduler—every hat—and thought hiring “someone to help” would finally give him breathing room.

    But things only shifted when he saw his roles laid out clearly and realized what he really needed was someone to own a key part of the business he was still carrying alone.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Identify the roles your business truly needs
    • Hire for impact, not just to lighten your load

    If you’re tired of being the one holding everything together, this episode shows a simple way to hire smarter and build a stronger business.
    Tune in to see how choosing the right next hire can transform your business.

  • Hiring Staff Without Killing Profits
    Jan 13 2026

    Let us know what you think? Send me a note!

    Adding a new employee should move the business forward—not drain profit.

    This episode starts with a simple but powerful question a contractor asked: _”How much more work do I actually need to do if I hire another person?”

    The answer isn’t guesswork, and it isn’t based on hope.

    The clarity comes from looking at hiring decisions through clear financial targets.

    It isn’t just about payroll. It’s about understanding how staffing decisions connect directly to gross profit, overhead, and the bottom line. It’s actually quite simple, and in this episode, I walk you through the exact steps!

    This episode walks through a practical way to think about growing your team while maintaining profit, so decisions feel grounded and clear.
