A must read for Builders who want to grow and control their businesses!

This book captures and simplifies business concepts and principles that too often many building companies tend to forget or brush aside because of supposedly more "pressing concerns."

This provides a solid guidepost for companies to follow if they really want to get out of the vicious whirlwind of getting stuck with everyday affairs, and slowly but surely take full control of their business, and eventually, their future.

Highly recommend

Was incredibly impressed with the information in this book. Broke things down clearly and gave me a much better understanding of how I can take my building business to another level.
Highly recommend to anyone in the building game whether it’s small or big or you’re successful or not. Even if it’s just a different way to hear the same information. This book will help you.

Marti Amos has filled this book with fantastic insights, actionable advice and encouraging case studies. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the construction industry, but especially those who are currently caught in the business hamster wheel doing heaps of work, but feeling like they’re going nowhere.
