How to Build Systems That Actually Work — and Free You from the Day-to-Day
In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network Podcast, host Logan Shinholser sits down with operations coach Liz Chism to talk about one of the biggest challenges contractors face — running a business that depends on them for everything.
Drawing from her experience as both a brewery owner and a contractor coach, Liz breaks down how to simplify your operations, empower your team, and regain control of your time and profits.
Key takeaways from the episode:
Create systems your team will actually use. Don’t write SOPs in isolation — build them with your team so they’re realistic and effective.
Simplify before you scale. Cut low-margin services, unnecessary expenses, and underperformers so you can focus on what really drives profit.
Empower, don’t micromanage. Ask questions like, “What do you think is the best approach?” to develop your team’s problem-solving muscles.
Build trust through communication. Use tools like Google Docs to create living, shared processes that evolve as your business grows.
Know your worth. Track your time, calculate your hourly value, and delegate anything that doesn’t move the needle.
“Clarity creates profitability. When your business processes are clear, you’re more likely to achieve consistent, profitable outcomes.” – Liz Chism
If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your construction business and start running a company that works without you in it, this episode is a must-listen.
