90 Days To Stop Being The Bottleneck

In her guest appearance on the Land To Legacy podcast, Liz Chism shares how she went from 100-hour work weeks to helping contractors build self-sustaining, profitable businesses that run without them.

What happens when a craft brewery owner, construction veteran, and mother of three decides she’s done living in chaos? For Liz Chism, that moment sparked a transformation that would reshape how contractors run their businesses.

In her recent appearance on Real Estate Development: Land To Legacy with host Eugene Gershman, Liz opens up about her journey from burnout to balance—and how she now helps contractors do the same.

Liz shares how running a multimillion-dollar brewery while managing international shipments and raising a toddler exposed the unsustainable pace most business owners face. Instead of giving up, she built systems that freed up 30+ hours per week and turned her business into a well-oiled machine. Today, she teaches contractors how to apply those same principles through her Contractor Operating System—a framework designed to simplify operations, empower teams, and drive profitability.

From avoiding the “Jingle Bells problem” of poor communication to boosting margins from 25% to 40%, Liz breaks down practical, real-world strategies for contractors who are tired of being the bottleneck in their own business.

If you’ve ever felt buried by your construction company—working nights, chasing details, or unable to take a real vacation—this episode is your blueprint to reclaiming control.
