Peer-to-peer mentoring for construction business owners
Peer-to-peer mentoring for construction business owners
Join a Breakfast Boardroom with other builders in your trade. Once a month you sit down together for breakfast and work through what’s really going on in each other’s businesses: the losses, the wins, and the calls nobody else in your business can help you make.
Your first two breakfasts are free. You just pay for your own food.
“It’s been a life changing experience. It doesn’t sound like much, but having someone who knows what you’re going through sitting with you talking about their problems and you talking about your problems.” Hayden, HG Built
I’ve been building and running building businesses for more than 35 years. For a lot of that time I was the one everyone brought their problems to, and I didn’t have anyone to take mine to. That costs you more than sleep.
“None of that means you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing it alone.”
Your Mastermind Chapter starts with five members and is capped at ten, all builders in your trade from different businesses. Everyone at the table runs a construction business like you do. Not identical, but similar enough that what’s worked for one usually helps the others.
Everyone puts a loss from the month on the table. Odds are someone has been through the same thing and can tell you how they got out of it, and the ones who haven’t hit it yet just learned how to dodge it. Then we finish on wins, on purpose, so you walk back out to your business on a high.
Face to face over breakfast, from 7am, for at least two hours. In between, your chapter stays in touch through our messenger group, so the help doesn’t stop when breakfast does.
From the third breakfast, the chapter nominates a chairman to run each meeting and a vice-chairman to step in when the chairman can’t make it.
It’s the first thing most builders ask. It’s hard enough to find work, so why share what you know with other builders in your trade?
What we find is the opposite. Builders in our chapters often end up with more work than they can handle, and they pass jobs to each other: a job that isn’t in their area, one they’re too busy for, or one that isn’t their kind of work. Members who’ve been at the table for 12 to 18 months are the ones we see really starting to thrive.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
The breakfast is once a month. What you get out of it lasts a lot longer.
You make the big calls with the experience of other builders in your trade behind you, not just your own. Taking on a big job, putting on staff, pricing a tender: someone at the table has usually made the same call and can tell you how it played out.
AI tools are changing fast. AI comes up at every Breakfast Boardroom, so you hear what’s working and what’s gone wrong in businesses like yours.
Between breakfasts, your chapter is a message away. Builders who know your business and know what you’re dealing with.
Someone at the table has usually already paid for the mistake you’re about to make. They’ll tell you what happened and what they’d do differently, so you don’t have to pay for it too.
Come along twice and see how it works. You just pay for your own food. After your second breakfast we’ll send you the details of paid membership, and it’s up to you. If it’s not for you, don’t join. If you can see what you’ll get out of it, join.
Go on the waiting list and you’ll get a monthly update. As soon as there are enough builders in your trade and area, we’ll invite you to the first breakfast. Know a few builders near you? Bring them in and it starts sooner.
AI is only as safe as what you let it touch. Connect it to your email, your accounts or your client files without the right controls, and it can expose your clients’ financial details, send a quote or a promise out under your name that you never saw, put a wrong rate into a tender, or make a call off an old set of plans. In construction the numbers are big and jobs run for months, so one of those mistakes can cost you a client, the margin on a job, or a dispute you can’t afford.
Setting it up correctly is the first job. You need to control what it can see and what it can do, decide where it has to stop and ask you, and keep checking what it produces as your business changes.
Whoever sets up your AI needs to understand how a construction business works, where a mistake costs you money, and what has to come to you for approval before it goes out. I’ve run building businesses for more than 35 years, and I use AI in my own building business every day. That’s the experience I bring to the training.
