The hardest part of building a real business is not what you say “yes” to. It’s what you have to say “no” to. If you’re like me, “shiny objects” are real. New machines. New ideas. New services. New side business. The toughest part? You could probably do most of it pretty well. But that’s what makes it dangerous. Discipline for guys like us isn't about “waking up early” or “working hard” — that's in our DNA Discipline is this: Being able to look at all the fun, new ideas and say, “No. I’m going to fix the one hard problem in my business first.” In your business, the thing you NEED to do almost always feels harder than the thing you WANT to do. Why? Because you don’t know how to do it yet. Or maybe you kind of know what to do… but you know it will take longer than you want. So instead of addressing the "hard thing" head on, most operators: Buy a new machine or attachment Research "better" machine upgrades or HP options Start a new service (like excavation) Switch to a new service area Tinker with new software to “optimize” the backend But the truth is, we just need to be honest and ask: 1. What is actually holding my business back right now? 2. Am I spending my time fixing THAT thing? If cash is your bottleneck, you fix your prices until you make real profit If leads are your bottleneck, you learn how to market better until more leads come in If closing is your bottleneck, you call/text leads faster until you start winning more jobs Not “another project.” Not “build a house on the side.” Not “add a second business.” Not “research the latest high-flow technology” The question is not, “What else could I do?” The better questions are: “What's the bottleneck in my business right now?” “What am I not doing because I don't know how?” Step 1: Tell the truth about the single most important problem in your business that is: - taking way too long to fix, or - you really don’t know how to fix Step 2: Bite down on that problem like a log in the grapple and don’t let go until it’s in the pile.

Hello friends, thank you all for the warm welcome! I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can. I’m working on a ad video kinda like @Josh Reaper did to get a feel for my area. If anyone has things to share to make this a faster transition I would love to hear it. I’m not sure how long my full time job is going to be around as they are talking about a move to Mexico. Other then that I’m really happy to have found such as amazing group of people who like to share am and help people grow instead of what you find on Facebook with the smart remarks and tearing you down.

Good morning fellas. I wanted to drop in and let you know that ROOTED LAND MAITENANCE LLC had to step away for the last two weeks for personal reasons. However today we're back on track and moving forward with building Our foundation, to dated we have obtained the LLC and EIN, working on building GBP and looking for a small business lender. If anyone has recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless

Which logo for polo? Am I over thinking the logo on front chest? Does it necessarily matter? And then the cross on the back is it too much? I’ve seen a big time pharmaceutical company do it for their warehouse guys and I loved it

Howdy all, What insurance coverage do you have and who is it with? What made you choose them over others and how has it worked out so far? If you had to put in any claims, how easy or difficult was it with your provider?
