How Chris Escaped a 100-Hour Week to Build a $3M Business

At his lowest point, Chris Miller was working close to 100 hours a week, missing the first two years of his daughter’s life, and had no real separation between work and home. He hated it, but he didn’t know another way to run a business.

Running Sydney Metro Decking out of a container at home, Chris believed the only path forward were more hours, more hustle, and doing everything himself because no one else could do it as well as he could. The turning point came when he realised he was a housemate, not a husband, and refused to let more time slip by in the same way.

In just 12 months, Chris restructured the business from the ground up, hiring a second crew, bringing in admin support, and separating home from work entirely. The business nearly doubled to a $3 million run rate while his hours dropped by half. More importantly, he got his family back, with regular trips away and the kind of presence he once thought was out of reach.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔨 Hiring a second tradesman was the easy, obvious first move.
🔨 Admin support freed up more time than any other hire.
🔨 Quoting went from a late-night task to a daytime priority
🔨 Revenue nearly doubled while working hours were cut in half.
🔨 Letting go of control meant trusting others to do it well.
🔨 Presence with family became the real measure of success.
