Running a building company feels like pushing a sled uphill. Head down, legs burning, no way through it but forward, and nobody coming to help you push. Most blokes quit halfway up because they think it always feels like that. It doesn’t. You get to the crest. The numbers start working, the systems hold, the thing runs without you carrying every kilo of it, and suddenly this becomes the best job in the world. It takes hard fucking work to get there. But the push ends.
