Ben Franklin for Contractors: Habits, Systems & Freedom from the Tools
•
Kevin
In this episode of Builder’s Book Brief, we break down timeless lessons from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin—the original self-made tradesman who scaled himself out of the shop and into legacy work.
If you’re a construction business owner doing $500K–$5M/year and tired of running every project by brute force, this episode gives you three powerful takeaways:
- How to use Franklin’s daily system to escape chaos and reclaim focus
- Why building habits and training your crew are more valuable than adding volume
- How to shift from operator to architect—and build something that lasts beyond you
We close with one simple action you can take this week to lead more like Franklin—without a white wig or printing press.
