Lee Miller: High level operators, they invest heavily. They spend strategically and they're ruthless about what they donate. Because they understand this one simple thing. Leverage. Leverage is everything to an entrepreneur. They build systems, they build teams, and they buy back their time as often and as rapidly as they can. And that starts with how they use it today. So let me ask you. Right now, what are you investing your time in? This is Conquer Contractor Chaos. Built for the contractor that's ready to run a business that works for them and creates the life they've been fighting for. Tune in to get the tools, systems, and the strategies that are battle proven to set you free. One move each episode, straight talk, things you can use today. Take your time back, be home for dinner, do the work, lead your crew, love your family, Conquer the Chaos. Imagine this, you wake up tomorrow morning and your bank account shows $1440. No more, no less. And at the end of every day at night time when you go to bed, it resets. During the day, you can decide what you do with that money. You can spend it, you can donate it, or you can invest it. and anything that you earn from that investment you get to keep. But whatever is left over at the end of the day is gone forever never to be seen again. Let's be real. We're not really talking about money here. We're talking about time. You get 1,440 minutes every day and every night at recess. Now here's the part that most contractors don't usually think about. You're already using all of it, all of that 1,440 minutes. But the only question is how? How are you spending it? There are only three ways that you can use your time. You can invest it, you can spend it, or you can donate it. It's pretty simple. When you invest your time, That's when things start to change. That's learning how the jobs get priced and how to do it properly. That's understanding your numbers. That is building systems so that you're not stuck on the tools forever. That's reading, planning, and getting around people who are playing a bigger game than you, expanding your circle, and spending time with people that you can learn from. And that's the stuff that actually grows your business. I've seen this in so many different scenarios. where owners are not spending their time effectively and that slows their growth. They're not focused on the stuff that actually grows their business. And then there's spending time. That's your day to day. This is the stuff that keeps you maintained exactly where you are. That's answering calls, that is running job sites, that is putting out fires, and it's keeping the wheels turning, so to speak. Is it necessary? 100%. But it doesn't move you forward. It just keeps you exactly where you are. And then there's the one that quietly holds most guys back and you don't even realize that you're doing it. Don't eat in your time. This is where things get dangerous. You're giving your time to tire kicker clients who are never going to book the job anyway. You're giving your time to people who don't think bigger, who don't want more. who pull you back into old habits and you're given time to conversations that drain your focus instead of sharpening it. And here's the truth, it's not just costing you time today, it's costing you the future that you could have been building. That time could have built that future. Every single person gets the same 1,440 minutes a day. You, me, the guys who are building $10 million companies, The guys who are building 100 million dollar companies. The difference isn't talent, it's not skill set and it's definitely not luck, it is how they use their time. High level operators, they invest heavily. They spend strategically and they are ruthless about what they donate. Because they understand this one simple thing. Leverage. Leverage is everything to an entrepreneur. They build systems, they build teams, and they buy back their time as often and as rapidly as they can. And that starts with how they use it today. So let me ask you right now, what are you investing your time in? What are you spending your time on that's keeping you stuck? And where are you donating time to people or situations that are holding you back? And be honest here, who are you spending the most time around? are the people that you're spending your time with, they pushing you to grow or keeping you comfortable? Because if your circle doesn't value growth, you will end up donating your time to staying exactly where you are. If you want a different result, you need a different investment. You need to invest your time into learning, into better systems, into people who are building, not complaining. Because when you invest your time properly, you don't just grow your business, you become the person capable of running a bigger business. It's kind of funny. So tomorrow morning, when your account resets to 1,440 minutes, don't just ask what you have to do, ask what's actually worth your time. Because spending time keeps you where you are. Donating time pulls you backwards. But invest in time, that's what's going to create your future. And if you're serious about that, then you need to stop lying to yourself and you need to stop trying to figure it out alone. You need a room where people think bigger, who build bigger, who are holding each other to a higher standard. That's exactly why we build our Conquer Contractor Chaos school, classroom and community. It's a place where you can invest your time into learning the systems, getting around the right people and actually creating time back in your business. Not just working harder, but working smarter. Investing your time smarter. So the question is simple. Are you gonna keep spending and donating your time? Are you gonna finally start investing in it? And if you are, we're here ready to help. I'll see you in school, guys.
