How to Build a 100M Vision and Get Your Team to Buy In | Ash Dawson

Описание: Ash Dawson helped grow a construction business from 5 people to 96 staff and ~$160M turnover and learned the hard way that “full sprint + weekend blowout” eventually breaks.

In Episode 6 of The Access Point, Barry sits down with Ash Dawson (Strategy & Scale) to unpack the frameworks behind culture-led growth, leadership consistency, and the monthly systems that keep teams aligned.

In this conversation, Ash shares:
How a clear 5-year vision becomes your best recruitment + client tool
The workshop method that gets your team to build the plan (not you)
Why monthly KPI reviews + monthly 1:1s beat annual performance reviews
The hidden danger of the “weekday sprint / weekend drift” lifestyle
The 3-Bucket Rule: work, self, and the people around you


If you’re a business owner, leader, or operator in construction, trades, or any service business this one will hit.
