When I was a personal trainer, we always came back to three things: Diet. Exercise. Accountability. The same thing applies in business. Most owners don’t need more information... passively stored until forgotten 🤯 They need to consistently execute what they already know they should be doing. That’s why every course inside Home Service Boardroom comes with a 30-day challenge. When you start a challenge, post inside the community under "30-Day Challenges 🗓️" When you finish, post in the #WINS section and share what you learned. The team will be tracking: ✅ Who started each challenge ✅ Who completed each challenge ✅ Prizes for the top members who follow through On desktop, you’ll see the "Accountability Tracker" link on the right-hand side of the group. That opens the Google Sheet where you can see your name and your progress. Watch the course. Do the challenge. Post the win. Repeat every month. 12 months. Leadership doesn't occur. It is not passive. Gaining leadership skills is NOT an organic/natural thing. It requires brute force and execution. Let's get some! 💪

In my 20s, I was highly active—running marathons and playing sports. However, when I turned 30, I got married & my focus shifted toward being a provider; I was balancing a full-time job while launching my business. Over the last 5+ years, the business has required less physical labor from me, and I’ve watched my weight creep up. In December 2025, having never lifted weights before, I decided to start training to get stronger and feel better. Since then, I’ve been pushing toward benching 300 lbs on my 45th birthday (in 8 days), and I’m hopeful I’ll hit it. Once that's locked in, my next phase is dropping 30 pounds of fat while maintaining muscle. I’ve had a solid 3-day workout routine since December, but I'm bumping up the frequency for this month (and possibly longer term). The course was a great reminder of just how much nutrition affects how we feel. I’m also looking forward to using the app—travel usually throws me off my workout game and leaves me guessing what to do, so this will eliminate any excuses. I am committing to the MacroFactor challenge, though for personal reasons, I will be skipping my Sunday workouts.

Under "Classroom" there is a "Recorded Live Calls" we can get credit for. Once we have called in to one of your Q & A with Mike, or 1 on 1 coaching with Mike - is that when we can mark it as completed?

Greetings from the great white north. I'm Alex from East Surrey. I am happily Married with 4 boys, aged 12, 10, 8, & 18 months. Our house is pure chaos and beyond busy with 3 boys playing competitive hockey, and Lacrosse year round. The 1st 20+ years of my professional life were spent building a lucrative career in heavy construction. I hold 2 Red Seal trades tickets in Carpentry & Pile Driving, I am a gold seal superintendent, and one semester short of a bachelors degree in Construction management. I operated my own company from 2016-2023 where I often managed revenue around $1m per year building highway bridges and industrial foundations. In 2023 I was on track for the best year yet having completed over $900k in the first 6 months of the year. In June of that year my Father was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer and I wasn't able to push off going to see him any longer with the excuse that work had to happen. Without my presence my business collapsed and we lost our best client. I knew that I needed to figure something better out if I was going to maintain a better relationship with my kids than I had with my own Dad. One late night I came across Mikes content on Youtube and I was hooked. Mike talked about all the things i struggled with in all my experience as an owner operator. I knew a recurring model was the best move for me and Augusta would be the quickest way to adapt. I joined Augusta in January of Last year with no previous lawn and landscape maintenance experience. After connecting with all the other Augusta operators in my area I began helping my neighbour Bryon Hall (Langley). After a few months we figured out that our personalities were complimentary and we agreed on a deal for me to acquire 51% of Langley. We then started Maple Ridge in December of 2025. Its been a wild ride this spring learning the ins and outs of Lawn Care and a service based business. We just cracked $100k/mth in revenue across the 3 locations and that has left me feeling super excited and hungry for what is possible in this industry.
