Challenge
Carl Mitchell, based in Austin, Texas, specializes in building commercial swimming pools for apartments, hotels, water parks, and fountains. With over 20 years of experience, Carl built a reputation for trust and quality, earning long-term customer relationships. However, as his business grew, so did the challenges of running it.
Carl’s business was thriving, but he was stretched too thin. His days were spent out in the field, and his nights were consumed by emails and proposals. He hired a few team members to help, but they weren’t the right fit, leaving him as the bottleneck in his own business.
Without the right tools, processes, or a solid plan, Carl couldn’t effectively delegate or step into a more strategic leadership role. This imbalance wasn’t just slowing down the business—it was also taking a toll on his personal life.
Solution
Through a referral from his financial advisor, Carl connected with a business advisor who took a deep dive into his challenges and outlined a plan to get him back on track.
Here’s what they worked on together:
- Creating a Clear Plan: They mapped out a long-term strategy to guide Carl toward his goals.
- Building Processes for Delegation: The advisor helped Carl identify where he was the bottleneck and created systems to streamline operations.
- Hiring the Right Team: Carl learned how to hire employees who aligned with his business’s needs and vision.
- Step-by-Step Implementation: With ongoing support, Carl gained the confidence to execute the plan and make real changes.
Outcomes
In just three to four months, Carl saw a dramatic shift in both his business and personal life:
- Streamlined Operations: With new processes in place, Carl was able to delegate effectively, freeing up his time to focus on growth.
- Work-Life Balance: Late nights became a thing of the past, and Carl had more time to spend with his family.
- Renewed Clarity: A clear roadmap gave Carl a fresh sense of direction and motivation for the future.
- Paying It Forward: Thrilled with the results, Carl referred four or five fellow business owners to his advisor, eager to share the impact of his experience.
