The Contractor’s Family Balance: Don’t Lose What You’re Building For
Description
Clark and James explore how building a contracting business affects your family relationships and what you can do to protect the people who matter most.
• The dangerous moving goalposts of promising "once I reach this milestone, then I'll have time for family"
• How the transition from employee to owner creates new stress patterns in personal relationships
• Why staying silent about work stress actually harms your marriage
• The importance of working proactively on next week's jobs instead of fighting today's fires
• Setting clear work hour boundaries with clients through a Client Expectations Agreement
• Creating non-negotiable family time blocks that clients cannot interrupt
• Why waiting for the "perfect time" to prioritize family never works
• Recognizing when you might need professional help if work becomes an escape
