EPISODE 413: Have you ever felt like your construction business would fall apart if you stepped away for even a day? That’s exactly how Steven Neuner felt for years.

He found success, but was exhausted, overwhelmed, and the bottleneck for everything. Until his CFO and COO staged an intervention and told him, “We love you, but we’re tired of being your assistant.”

That moment changed everything. He hired a proactive remote assistant (not another jobsite hire) and saw a 5x leap in productivity. Now, he’s here to unpack everything.

In this episode, Steven Neuner, co-founder of Superpowers HQ, shares how construction entrepreneurs can achieve more by doing less—using a game-changing strategy called flipped delegation.

Today, you’ll learn…

• Why you might be the biggest bottleneck in your business

• The flawed mindsets most entrepreneurs have about delegation

• What “flipped delegation” really means and how it works

• Why hiring a remote assistant is an investment, not an expense

• How burnout—not competition—is killing more businesses like yours

…and more!

If you’re tired of being stuck in the weeds and want to break free from burnout, don’t miss this one.
