Eric shares a weekly accountability call within his contractor power circle, where the participants discuss strategies for personal and professional improvement. The primary theme revolves around making it "hard to lose" by setting up systems for success in areas like health, business operations, and financial stability. Participants share personal anecdotes, such as preparing for a dog Halloween costume contest and struggling with client negotiations on job bids, before Eric introduces the core concept of minimizing failure through proactive preparation. Key strategies discussed for contractors include time blocking, refining the sales process to ensure proper job bidding, and utilizing an accountability group for support, with special attention given to the challenges of addressing uncomfortable client conversations and improving cash flow.

Key Takeaways:

  • Set up your environment, such as your kitchen or workspace, to make losing or failing difficult.
  • Implement time blocking to dedicate necessary time to health, training, and professional development.
  • Choose your peer group wisely by spending time with people who motivate you to continuously improve and succeed.
  • Improve your follow-through by verbalizing your goals to friends or peers for accountability.
  • Regularly refine your core processes and systems to maximize efficiency and guarantee consistent winning.
