client’s dreams. A DAY IN THE LIFE AT MAZZOLA CONSTRUCTION Understanding the daily operations of Mazzola Construction & Consulting offers insight into the meticulous and dynamic environment that defines this successful business. A typical day at the job site under John’s leadership is a blend of early starts, strategic planning, and hands-on management, reflecting his dedication and the unique challenges of the construction industry. “Every day is a workday for me, whether on vacation or at home. It’s crucial to respond promptly to any queries, maintaining my commitment to the project, my crew, and my customers,” he asserts. This relentless dedication is a cornerstone of his business philosophy, ensuring no call or query is unanswered. However, none of this would be possible without the daily office and field support and unwavering dedication from his wife Dawn. John’s morning routine is as disciplined as it is strategic. John describes, “My day begins around 4 to 4:30 AM. After a quick coffee and some time in the hot tub to set my mindset, I’m in the office, reorganizing and prioritizing daily tasks.” This early start allows him to effectively manage each day’s complexities, especially when juggling multiple projects simultaneously. By 8:00 AM, John is on-site, overseeing up to a dozen different projects. His approach to unexpected challenges is pragmatic and lighthearted. “Yes, you drop the ball sometimes, but it’s about how quickly you pick it up,” he shares. Likening business to a sport, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive attitude amidst the physically demanding nature of construction work. John’s role extends beyond mere oversight; he sees himself as a coach and cheerleader for his team.“My job is to motivate and direct, offering rewards and recognition to keep morale high,” he explains. This approach is vital in an industry where projects rarely follow a linear path, demanding high-level problem- solving and adaptability from his team. 63 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 01 MAZZOLA CONSTRUCT ION AND CONSULT ING
