“Worry never accomplishes anything. When you have a problem, it is best to concentrate on the solution to that problem, not the problem itself.”
– Thomas D. Willhite
Overcoming Barriers in Construction
The construction industry has many barriers that will require a lot of assessment, consultation, and action; Just as any project does. No matter where you are in the industry, you will encounter such barriers, but it is how you overcome that matters the most.
With over 40 years of experience in the construction industry, I am learning that communication is the key to the advancement of your company. You must:
1. Communicate. Communicate effectively because when you are faced with a barrier, it will become a distraction to you and your company.
2. Change. You must be willing to divert from your blueprint and change. Barriers to change include reluctance to part with old ways. Often, we are afraid of positive changes. The blueprint you first constructed may not be up-to-date and the barrier that came and diverted you, may have done so to elevate you.
3. Decisions. Decisions assist with overcoming barriers. Learning how to evaluate options efficiently can help you ensure entrepreneurial success.
The three above mentioned keys to overcome barriers in construction can contribute heavily to the success of your company and personal life. Once these are applied, we will create more profit in our business.
In closing, I believe Henry Ford said it best! “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”
