315: Learn From The Experience Of These Two Construction Business Coaches with Bryan Kaplan

“We all know that life is too short to learn from your own mistakes; you have to learn from the mistakes of others.” So says Bryan Kaplan, today’s guest on The Roofer Coach. Join us to learn more!   I’m joined by Bryan Kaplan from ConstructionConsulting.co. He offers coaching programs to help remodelers and custom home builders create profitable and efficient businesses. We met a few years ago through a mastermind group for construction consultants, and we have both been around the block in the construction business enough times to learn a lot of hard lessons. Bryan shares how today’s contractors can learn from common mistakes in the business and avoid the pitfalls along the way.   What you’ll hear in this episode: An update on what’s going on with Bryan’s coaching business in Toronto, Canada Why there is great value in learning from others who have been down the road you are walking–instead of letting your ego and stubbornness run the show Why learning is great but the execution is what matters Why “scaling your business” is not always the answer to reaching your goals How Bryan is seeing a slowdown in the construction business Why having the right systems in place can help “recession-proof” your business Why Bryan’s coaching programs focus on “valuing yourself” and knowing your worth How your business should handle change orders and delays to keep them from being pitfalls How to avoid the pitfall of trying to be “competitive” in the market Three parts to selling your value: the scope of your work, the approach to the work, and what you must charge to be profitable How to rethink your approach to job costing Resources: Connect with Bryan: Website Time is running out!
