Catch George Hedley at World of Concrete

Words: George HedleyGeorge Hedley says that most construction BIZ owners and managers have a long list of things they’re working on all at the same time. By “multi-tasking,” you think you’re accomplishing a lot. But are you really moving towards your big goal? Staying busy keeps you busy doing the same things over and over, with little movement towards what will make you really successful.

When Hedley helps BIZ-Owners to list out the big things they want to make happen during the next five years, it gets them focused on the big things. For example, if your big thing is to grow, will ordering materials or scheduling crews help you grow? If your big thing is to develop 10 new loyal customers, will putting another bid together help you find loyal customers? If your big thing
is to find a strong project manager to run your projects, will visiting jobsites to check in with your foreman help you find a project manager?

What big thing will make your company become great? What do you need to focus on to make it happen? What do you need to do with your time to achieve your big thing?

Hedley will be presenting four seminars during World of Concrete, Feb. 1 through 4, 2016, in Las Vegas. He will have time to meet with three contractors for a Bizcoach session. Email him for a proposal and to arrange a time to meet, GH@HardhatPresentations.com.
