The Shocking Reason You’re Constantly Out of Time (It’s not what you think…)

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

Want to know the real reason you’re constantly out of time {{contact.first_name}}?

 

It’s not because you’re taking on too many clients or managing too many projects—it’s because you’re still doing everything yourself.

 

I see it all the time with custom home builders:

 

You’re juggling client calls, running between job sites, managing the crew, and making sure that every tiny detail is perfect.

 

But here’s the hard truth—if you want to grow and reclaim your time, you can’t keep trying to do it all.

 

The only way to break free is through strategic hiring.

 

Not just bringing in anyone, but building a team of key people who can handle the tasks that drain your energy.

 

The right hires don’t just “fill gaps”—they allow you to step out of the daily grind and focus on what only you can do: high-level strategy, business growth, and leading your company.

 

Think about it like this:

 

When you hire smart, you’re not just adding people—you’re buying back your time.

 

Imagine what you could do if you had 14 hours a week back—time you could use to take on new opportunities, develop your vision, or even take a real vacation without worrying about things falling apart.

 

But as long as you’re stuck doing it all, you’ll never get there.

 

So here’s my question: Are you ready to stop being a one-man show?

 

Talk soon,

Living on HELL Island….

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

Are you running a business, or have you built yourself a job?

If you’re a custom home builder working 60+ hours a week, stuck in the daily grind, and handling every little detail, you probably feel like you can’t step away for even a minute.

You started this business for freedom, but somehow, you’ve ended up feeling like a prisoner to it.

HELL ISLAND

Think about it:

  1. Are you missing family moments because you’re stuck on the job site?
  2. Is every day a scramble to manage clients, crews, and fires that only you can solve?
  3. Do you wonder how you’ll ever get ahead if you can’t even get out of your own way?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Most builders are so busy running their business that they don’t have time to grow it – we call this HELL ISLAND.

But, there’s a way out.

HEAVEN ISLAND

Imagine your business running like a well-oiled machine, even when you’re not there.

Your team handles the details, your systems ensure high quality, and you can finally step into the CEO role—focusing on growth, strategy, and having the time freedom you’ve been working so hard for.

That’s what I call HEAVEN ISLAND—a business that works for you, giving you back your time and your life.

How Do You Get There?

That’s where I come in. I help custom builders like you put the systems and team in place so you can delegate, reclaim your time, and scale your business without sacrificing quality.

You’ll go from feeling overwhelmed to running a thriving business that doesn’t require you 24/7.

Ready to Make a Change?

Don’t let another year slip by stuck in the grind. Take control now. Living the same year 75 times isn’t a life…

Why you’ll always be stuck in the day to day…

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

“If you don’t have a clear vision for your business, you’ll always be stuck in the day-to-day grind.”

Let’s face it —you didn’t start your business to work 60+ hours a week, constantly put out fires, and have zero time for yourself or your family.

But without a clear vision for where your business is headed, that’s exactly where you’ll end up—stuck in the grind with no end in sight.

Think about it—how can you build a thriving, scalable business if you don’t even know what the finished product looks like?

Think of your business like building a new home.

You’re incredible at laying out plans and executing on behalf of your clients, but when it comes to your own business, do you have a blueprint?

Without a clear vision, here’s what happens:

  1. You spend your time reacting to problems instead of building the business you want.
  2. You’re so caught up in managing every detail that you never step back to focus on growth.
  3. The team you’ve built depends on you for every decision because you haven’t set up the systems that allow them to run things independently.
  4. Your business starts to feel like it’s running you.

And the worst part?

You’re losing time—time you could be spending with your family, on your next big project, or taking a well-deserved break.

If you’re constantly reacting to every little thing, you’ll never be able to step away and enjoy the freedom you’ve worked so hard for.

Here’s the reality:

A business without a clear plan, a vision for what success looks like, and systems to support that vision, will alwaystake more time than it should.

You’ll always be stuck, working in the business, instead of on it.

But imagine this—you have a crystal-clear vision of exactly where you want to take your business:

  1. You’d know what tasks to delegate, what systems to put in place, and how to free up hours every week.
  2. You’d stop reacting to every little issue and start proactively building the business you’ve always dreamed of.
  3. And most importantly, you’d reclaim your time—time you can invest in growing your business, spending with your family, or finally taking that vacation you’ve been putting off.

So, let me ask you: Do you have a clear vision for your business?

If not, it’s time to create one. The clearer your vision, the more time you’ll gain back.

And here’s where I can help. In just a single 20-minute Builder’s Blueprint Call, we’ll dive into your business, pinpoint what’s keeping you stuck in the grind, and create a custom roadmap that shows you how to reclaim your time. You’ll leave with actionable steps to put your business on autopilot—so you can finally start working on it, instead of in it.

Ready to stop feeling like your business is running you?

Knowing You’re The Best – The Most Important Sales Skill of All

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

In a world where humility often teeters on the edge of self-doubt, there lies a vital truth for every entrepreneur and business leader—a truth which, if embraced, can fundamentally alter our perceptions of sales and service.

That truth?

Believing you are truly the best at what you do is not just advantageous; it is essential. Here’s why.

Confidence as a Foundation for Service

The journey of mastery in any field doesn’t conclude with the acquisition of skills or accolades. It culminates in an unwavering belief in your ability to make a significant impact. This conviction—your inherent capability to help others—not only propels you forward but also dismantles any sales resistance in your path.

Sales resistance often arises from a series of complex, limiting beliefs. Many of us recoil at the notion of ‘selling,’ conjuring images of insistent storefronts, grimy used car guys or cold calls at dinner time. However, herein lies the shift: selling, at its core, is not about the transaction; it’s about offering a solution, a service capable of improving or even transforming lives.

The Necessity of Knowing You Are the Best

Believing in your unrivaled ability to serve your clients changes everything. It transforms the act of making an offer from a menial task into a moral imperative. If you possess the knowledge, skills, or products that could solve problems, enhance quality of life, or accelerate success, withholding them due to your personal hang-ups around sales is not an act of humility—it’s a disservice.

Imagine you have the cure to a common, pressing problem. Would you hesitate to offer it out of fear of ‘selling’?

Likely not…

You would feel compelled to share it, even shout it from the rooftops if necessary. This mindset shift is what makes the difference between where you are – and where you want to be.

Your service, your skills, your product—they are the ‘cure’ your audience needs. Believing you are the best is not arrogance; it’s an acknowledgment of the value you bring to the table.

Transforming Sales Resistance into an Act of Service

Genuinely believing in your capacity to help and being the best at what you do transforms any sales resistance into an act of service. Viewing your offers through the lens of service—to improve, enhance, solve, or uplift those around you—transcends the traditional sales call. You’re not selling; you’re serving. You’re not pushing a product; you’re providing a pathway to a solution.

This conviction in your craft and service shifts the focus from yourself—your fears of appearing ‘salesy,’ your limiting beliefs about money and sales—to the individuals you aim to serve. It becomes less about whether you can make the sale, and more about whether you can afford not to extend your help.

Putting It All To Work

Believing that you are the best at your craft is not optional; it is everything. This very belief serves as the antidote to sales resistance, transforming it into an act of service. It’s a commitment to ensure that your own limiting beliefs do not obstruct others from accessing the solutions they need – your solutions.

So.. now that we know better… who can we serve today?

Always in your corner,

People ask… “How do you do it?”…

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

In the last 15 years, I’ve built 5 different companies, some well into 7 and 8-figure territory.

But I’ve also visited some 60 countries on six continents purely for fun: the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Daytona 500, the F1 Grand Prix at Monza…. the list goes on.

People ask, “How do you do it?”

I’ll answer, “Well, I book the flight and the hotel and I get on the flight and check into the hotel,” only said partially tongue in cheek.

I don’t share any of this to impress you… only to impress upon you that it’s possible.

The ability to travel freely around the globe has been a top priority for me for as long as I can remember, and as such, I have built companies, teams, and a personal schedule around that priority… so it allows me to do just that.

Your priorities may be vastly different… and that’s ok.

But if someome took a look at your life from the outside in… would they be able to tell what your priorities really are?

We always get what we prioritize. The problem is what we say and what we plan for and do often look very, very, very different.

Think back on a time in your life when you had an audacious goal. Perhaps you wanted to get back to your high school weight, or you had a business idea that you just HAD to see through to completion.

Who did you have to become to achieve that goal?

What did you have to give up?

Why was it worth it?

We always get what we truly want and deserve in this life. If you want to be fit, but you eat garbage and watch Netflix for four hours a night, telling your friends (and yourself) that you “just don’t have the time,”… you are getting the body and health you deserve.

The same goes for your business and the life you CHOOSE to design.

LISTEN to the whispers inside of you.

Having the courage to live the life you want is about embracing authenticity and defying others’ expectations. It means stepping confidently into your truth, even when it diverges from societal norms or the paths laid out by others.

It’s about listening to the whispers of your soul, even when they lead you down unconventional roads.

(“Listen to the whispers before they become screams”, as my friend Darryll Stinson would say.)

Courage is the willingness to take risks and pursue the life YOU want with reckless abandon. To stand tall in the face of doubt or criticism… especially from those closest to you.

It’s about recognizing that your life is yours to shape according to your vision, not others.

When you have the courage to live authentically, you empower yourself to create a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and joy, and by living that life—your life—you inspire others to do the same.

What a gift.

Why we STILL hire teachers, coaches and consultants when everything is free online.

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

I JUST KEPT FAILING…

A few months ago the radiator tab (a piece of aluminum that holds the radiator onto the car to keep it from blowing off into the car behind me) broke on my beloved 32 Deuce Coupe that’s in the photo.

I can weld pretty well, but have never welded aluminum. It’s a completely different process with different tools and gases to make it all work.

Day after day I practiced before taking a 5000 degree torch to my car… and every day I failed.

I watched HOURS of YouTube Videos. Nada. No dice. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Then I called Russ, a old hot rodder from my Michigan days who’s since moved to Florida.

“Russ”, I said, “For the life of me I can’t get this to work. I’ve tried everything”.

“Where did you get your practice metal?”, he replied.

“Home Depot”, I said.

“That’s your problem”, he quickly bounced back.

A LOSING BATTLE

You see, what I didn’t realize was that the Depot aluminum was cheap. And cheap meant impurities. And no matter how skilled you are, you’ll NEVER be able to weld two piece of crap metal together… it’s just not in the cards.

While I may have stumbled across this fact, realized it, and tried again with better quality. It may have taken me AGES of frustration and trial and error.

Russ knew what to ask in 60 seconds. Because he’s “been there, done that.”.

In today’s digital era, access to information is just a click away. From calculus to welding, much can be learned through Google and YouTube. However, the demand for teachers, coaches, and consultants remains strong. This illustrates their irreplaceable value—something algorithms can’t replicate.

The Human Element: Aggregation, Speed, and Convenience

Aggregation: The vast amount of information online can be overwhelming. Teachers, coaches, and consultants curate the most relevant, accurate, and up-to-date resources, saving us from the paralysis of analysis involved in self-education.

Speed: Learning online can be time-consuming. Educators expedite this process with their expertise, guiding learners efficiently, and avoiding trial and error. This faster learning is essential in our fast-paced world.

Convenience: Personal educators offer tailored learning experiences that generic online content can’t match. They adapt in real-time to address specific challenges and learning styles, ensuring comprehensive understanding and practical application.

They ask what metal you’re using when you don’t even know to think about that yet…

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

Studies consistently show that human-guided learning leads to better outcomes. Personalized tutoring significantly outperforms self-study, and professionals with coaches report higher success, satisfaction, and career growth.

It’s why I have a coach.

It’s why I AM a coach.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

While free information is abundant, investing in teachers, coaches, and consultants is invaluable. The benefits of curated content, guided learning, and tailored instruction are unmatched. We hire these professionals not just for their knowledge, but for their guidance and connection. The journey to mastery involves transforming knowledge into wisdom, and for that, dedicated educators and mentors are, and may just always be, irreplaceable.

Always in your corner,

Rodric

The Ultimate Hack to Get Back Your TIME

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

In a world that spins faster with every technological advance, reclaiming your time has never been more important.

Why? Because it’s the one resource we can’t manufacture more of, no matter how hard we try.

Despite this intangible truth, many of us find ourselves perennially strapped for time, chasing a never-ending cycle of productivity that often leaves us more depleted than fulfilled .

The journey to reclaiming your time is not about adding more hours to your day but about leveraging the hours you have in a way that aligns with your deepest values and ambitions.

It’s about creating a life that isn’t just busy, but genuinely fruitful and satisfying. This path is deeply explored in my book, where I introduce concepts and exercises designed to guide you through this very transformation.

My coach once shared a powerful criterion for deciding whether to accept or decline any request for my time: “If it was tomorrow, would you do it?”.

This simple question forces immediacy into our decision-making process and often reveals our true willingness (or lack thereof). If an activity doesn’t resonate with us on a level deep enough to say “yes” for tomorrow, it likely doesn’t hold genuine value in our lives. Rather, it creates noise that distracts us from our core purpose and drains the limited time we have .

But the journey doesn’t stop at refining how we allot our engagements; it traverses deeper into the foundation of what drives us—our values. The book guides readers through a “Values Visioning” session designed to crystallize what truly matters to us. This clarity acts as a compass, directing not only our daily choices but also our long-term endeavors and the legacies we aim to build. In essence, when your actions and time investment are congruent with your values, every moment spent feels inherently rewarding, thereby reclaiming your time from the clutches of aimless busyness.

Aimless busyness…. man that hits home.

Reclaiming your time is not an act of selfish preservation but a strategic maneuver towards greater freedom, profit, and impact.

It’s about refining our focus, so we become exceptionally effective at what we do, all while fostering a life rich in experiences that resonate with our true selves.

Taking control of your time is more than a productivity hack; it’s a holistic approach to living. It’s about deciding what’s truly important and carving out a path that respects your most authentic self. As we navigate the fast-paced demands of the modern world, let’s remember that reclaiming our time is not just a luxury but a necessity for anyone looking to make a real difference, both in their lives and the lives of others.

So…. would you do it tomorrow?

Share this with someone who needs to hear these words.

Always in your corner,

My First Eye Exam in 43 Years + Your Business = …..

Posted on by Rodric Lenhart

Last week, I did something I hadn’t done in 43 years—I went for my first eye exam.

I’d always thought my vision was fine. Sure, I noticed things had gotten a little blurry over time, but I’d chalked it up to long hours in front of screens, my newfound welding hobby or maybe just getting older.

Nothing too serious, right?

But sitting in that chair, with the eye doctor asking me to look through a series of lenses, something happened….

She flipped from one setting to another, showing me what things could look like.

Suddenly, the world snapped into focus—clearer, sharper, and more vibrant than I remembered. It was eye-opening (pun intended) to realize how much my vision had deteriorated without me even noticing.

I walked out of that appointment with a prescription and a new perspective, and it got me thinking about something many business owners are going through right now…

Your business may have slipped into a place where things are far more blurry than you realize.

~ A Slow Decline: You Don’t See It Until Someone Shows You ~

When you’re deep in the grind of running your business, things don’t go wrong overnight. Like my eyesight, your business may have slowly drifted into a state of “blur.”

You’re putting in the hours, managing teams, dealing with clients, and trying to keep everything moving forward. But the clarity you had when you started—why you got into this in the first place—has likely become a bit fuzzy over time.

  • You might not have noticed that you’re working more hours than ever, but profits haven’t grown.
  • You might not have realized that your time is being drained by tasks that shouldn’t even be on your plate.
  • You might have become so accustomed to the constant demands and firefighting that you don’t even recognize how much it’s wearing you down.

And just like me thinking my eyesight was “fine,” you might think this is just the way it is. This is just how running a successful business feels.

But let me tell you—it doesn’t have to be this way.

~ The Eye Doctor for Your Business ~

When the eye doctor switched those lenses and showed me what clear vision could look like, it was like I suddenly had super powers. The same thing happens when I work with custom home builders like you.

My role is to flip the lens for you—to help you see clearly what’s been missing and how good things can be when you’re no longer buried in the day-to-day grind.

Think about this:

  • You don’t have to work 60+ hours a week just to keep up.
  • You don’t have to be the one handling every client call, every site visit, or every decision.
  • Your business doesn’t have to depend on you being involved in every little detail.

But when you get a clear view of what’s possible—delegating tasks, trusting a reliable team, implementing smart systems that allow you to focus on growth and strategy—it’s like putting on a new pair of glasses.

Suddenly, everything sharpens, and you see what you’ve been missing: your time, your freedom, your ability to scale without burning out.

I want you to reflect on this today – and I hope this is the first step in you gaining some clarity.

Always on your side,

Rodric

Don’t spend another week trapped in the grind.

let’s build the business—and life—you’ve been dreaming of.
