Nashville TN Custom Home Builder - Where Has All the Fun of Building Gone?

There's no joy in Mudville. The air is out of the balloon. Is that the way you feel in your Nashville TN Custom Home Builder business? Are you blaming it on the economy?

 

Certainly there are ebbs and flows in business as there is in nature. And at the time of this article no one would deny that home building has retracted significantly and is affecting nearly everyone in the business. But, there's an underlying factor and an honest examination reveals a different reason for the lack of fun in Nashville TN Custom Home Builder.

 

Where Does the Real Joy of HomeBuilding Come From?

 

What really gets you as a builder excited? Performing your craft to the best of your ability probably ranks right up there, doesn't it? If you, like so many in the business, just love the work you do, and if you pride yourself in a job well done, joy springs just from its performance. Custom Home Builders

 

But, over time, as you move from labor to management and then to your own homebuilding business, things change. You become more than a builder. You become responsible for the well being of employees and, most importantly, the clients you serve.

 

At that point, the fun and joy you used to find in the labor of your hands must now come from the pleasing of others. Many don't successfully make this shift.

 

Moving From Builder to Advisor and Coach

 

If you, as a building professional, cannot shift your priorities and find fun in a new role, you'll never get back to your love for building, no matter the economy. You can do this in different ways with different strategies but one strategy that works well for many is to become a homebuilding coach. Begin coaching your clients as owner builders.

 

As a Home Building Coach, your emphasis shifts from finding your fun in building to finding your joy in helping people. You use all your same building skills and experiences but you are forced to realize that it's all about people, not about sticks and windows. It's a major shift in thinking. And it brings about a major shift and evolvement in your business.

 

If you still want to look at the economy, then look at it as the perfect time to make your shift into coaching. You'll be among the first to make this change and you'll find the fun again.
