beginning of this episode, you've constantly got to be in control of your business and be ten steps ahead of it.
So these are three things that you've got to own in your business.
Number one.
It's time.
If you don't own your own time and time to
And your business is controlling you and what you can and can't do and the hours you've got to work, then you're not in control of your business, it controls you.
Number two.
Finances, profits.
If you're not in control of your profit margins and you're having sleepless nights because you ain't got enough money to pay the VAT or you ain't got enough money to pay your subbies or you ain't got enough money to pay your self-assessment tax or your suppliers that month, or even worse, you ain't got enough money to pay yourself.
then you're not in control of your finances.
And number three is relationships.
You see, as a business owner, you need to be in control of all relationships relationships with your customers, relationships with your employees or your subbies, relationships with yourself and your loved ones and your family at home.
And if you're not in control of that, and your customers have got you jumping through hoops and ringing you at nine o'clock at night, expecting you to ring and bike or send a text or WhatsApp bike or they want an email back over weekend, and you're doing that and you are jumping when they say jump, you're not in control of relationships.
And the minute you lose control of time, money, and relationships.
And your business starts to warn you, you have become what I used to be, which is that ultimate busy fool.
So how we get out of that is we put systems in place to control our time.
We put systems in place to control our finances and we put systems in contr in place to control our relationships.
So these are the three
main systems that you are gonna need in a trades and construction business.
These aren't all of 'em because you might bolt a few extra systems on.
