If you’re waking up tired, working 12-hour days, and still falling behind… you’re not lazy. You’re not inefficient. You’re likely suffering from entrepreneurial burnout.

And for contractors, it hits hard.

Why? Because most of the pressure — financial, operational, emotional — sits on your shoulders.
You carry the weight of making sure everyone gets paid, jobs stay on track, and clients stay happy.

But burnout isn’t caused by working hard. It’s caused by working hard without control.

Here are the top burnout triggers I see:

• No clarity on your numbers
• Jobs that go over budget — and over time
• A crew that depends on you for every answer
• Constantly reacting instead of planning
• No time off (even when you’re sick or exhausted)

I worked with a contractor who hadn’t taken more than two days off in three years. He was exhausted, short-tempered, and considering selling the business. We dug in and identified three fixes: (1) job margin tracking to avoid losses, (2) assigning a lead on every crew to reduce decisions, and (3) creating one protected “off” day every two weeks. Within 60 days, his stress dropped and his love for the business started coming back.

You don’t need more hustle. You need a healthier system.

If burnout is creeping in, let’s fix it before it breaks you.
