How good are you at prioritization in your business?

It’s ok. You can be honest.

The truth is that prioritization seems straightforward, but in reality it’s much more complex than it appears, especially in the context of a business like yours - which is inherently dynamic, ever-changing, and unpredictable. 

Issues come out of nowhere. Circumstances change. People quit. Clients cancel. Unexpected weather roles through.

How are you supposed to get anything done when you’re constantly putting out fires?

Our guests today have some practical strategies that can help.

Harry Max is the author of Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions. And Wes Bright is his partner at Peak Priorities. They consult with some of the biggest companies in tech, and today, they're going to level up our priority management toolbox in a major way.

Episode highlights:

Learn what makes prioritization so hard and what systems and tools you can use to get better at it.
Understand the frameworks Harry Max recommends in his book, Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions.
Get practical prioritization tips from two consultants who work with the biggest companies in tech including Apple, Google and Microsoft.

Steal These Prioritization Methods to Get More Done: Contractor Evolution

If you aren’t familiar with the book Traction by Gino Wickman, we HIGHLY suggest you get it and read/listen to it and implement everything he shares!
 
While we are not an EOS expert or certified in this content by his team, we couldn’t let that keep us sharing some of the key takeaways from the book and how it can be useful for you in your painting company.

Connect time tracking to your job costing with this free white paper from busybusy: https://trybta.com/DLEP188 

To learn more about Breakthrough Academy, click here: https://trybta.com/PCA188

Have you ever wondered whether getting your field staff to track their time is worthwhile?

Sure, it’d be great to hold them accountable. But you can already hear their grumbles and groans about having to add another thing to their to-do list.

The thing is, in other businesses (think accounting, law, marketing agencies), time tracking is standard practice. The whole goal in those industries is to make as much time billable to the client as possible. So why is it different in the trades?

Our guest on the show today is Isaac Barlow. He’s the Founder of busybusy. The industry-leading time-tracking app for construction and trades. 

Today’s conversation is about leveraging time-tracking technology to increase productivity and profitability without hurting your company culture.

Episode highlights:
Learn how time tracking can be used to create a performance culture built on business intelligence.
Understand why field staff often resist adopting modern tech and how to change their attitudes and get them on board with time tracking.
Find out how to create a modern data-obsessed organization in an old school industry.

00:00 - Intro
01:48 - The story behind busybusy
08:42 - Why contractors need to be more time obsessed
16:42 - The benefits of busybusy and other time tracking apps
22:08 - How to deal with pushback from the team
28:56 - Business Intelligence: helpful or hurtful to culture?
31:57 - Gamification: does it work?
34:04 - 3 tips to get your team thinking more like owners
38:19 - Downloadable handout and busybusy promotion
39:08 - Business intelligence: what is it and how do you use it?

Fun Fact: 

"Pictureplane"(Travis Egedy), is a popular artist known for making his come up in the electronic music scene, DIY Venues, also popular for hanging around artists like "Grimes" and "Crystal Castles" in the early come up days of these artist, he is also the one who came up with the word "Witch House" which is a playful word on "House" music, though "Witch House" is now a popular music genre that is enjoyed by many.

"Crystal Castles" are actually one of the very first, if not the first electronic music duo to actually invent "Witch House" music, as you can hear dark beats and sorrow drawn out voices off of some of their early (demo songs/ Demo Album) dating back from "2007" and before that, which is crazy to think since during that time "Witch House" did not have a name for itself yet.
