The ONE Thing – How Construction Business Owners Can Cut Through the Chaos
If your to-do list is 30 items long and your phone won’t stop buzzing, The ONE Thing by Gary Keller is the mindset shift you need.
In this episode of Craftsman to Owner, we break down this bestselling productivity book and apply it to construction business owners doing $500K–$5M/year—especially those caught in the chaos of quoting, managing crews, solving problems, and trying to grow all at once.
We cover:
- How to identify the single most important task that actually moves your business forward
- Why doing less with more focus is the most powerful way to grow (even on jobsite timelines)
- How to create a simple structure for deep work—without needing a perfect calendar
This episode is about getting clarity in the middle of the noise—and building your company like a real owner, not just a technician with too much to juggle.
If you’re busy all day but never feel ahead, this one’s for you.
