In this episode, Michelle takes aim at the silent killer of construction businesses: chaos. Not the dramatic kind like shouting matches or last-minute disasters, but the everyday, behind-the-scenes chaos that slowly bleeds a company dry.

She exposes how missing processes, unclear responsibilities, and muddled communication create a perfect storm where money leaks, decisions stall, and teams slip into frustration and fatigue.

Through real client experiences and her own time in the industry, Michelle shows how internal disorder, not late payments, is often the biggest threat to cash flow.

From broken information chains to disconnects with accounts teams to overlooking the loyal people holding everything together, she reveals how small cracks quickly become costly chasms.

This episode is a no-nonsense guide to recognising the chaos you’ve normalised, and transforming it into clarity, confidence, and a business that runs like a well-oiled machine instead of a daily firefight.
