Home service owner burnout usually does not start with one bad day. It builds slowly, one unanswered text and one late invoice at a time. I sat down again this week with Chris Diroll from SMA Support Services to talk about the fix most owners never try: handing real work to a real assistant. So many of the home service owners I coach are stuck being the one person everything runs through. Chris and I get into what that costs in real contractor profits, and how contractor cash flow management falls apart when one person is chasing every payment alone. We also cover why home service business cash leaks so often start with tasks nobody wanted to hand off in the first place.
