Welcome back to another episode of Life in the FastLane, where Nick and Kyle talk about execution. The largest determining factor in success after studying other and ourselves is action.

2024/12/06

"Jack of all trades and a Master at none", its a saying for a reason. You can get decently good at a lot of things but youll never be a master at them all. Every "millionaire" expert online says you need 7 streams of income to be wealthy. What they don't tell you is that its once you have that money is when you can then diversify. If you focus on all 7, the one with the least attention tends to fall apart. Focusing on one task at a time allows for tasks to get done better, faster, with more

2024/11/25

Nick and Kyle answer a question for a listener in regard to hiring and marketing. The biggest takeaways are to create a structure for your business to market and then hire. When hiring don't hire fast. You as the business owner must sell the vision of the company and be sure to meet that vision at every check point. With that you will gain the right teammate for your company and see massive growth. Just be sure to sell and pick up the PHONE! Check out Lawn Buddy and use our referral code:

Nick and Kyle discuss discipline and focus. There is an old adage "whether you think you can or you can't you are right".

With intention comes results, those results are your wins. As those wins stack up you see a betterment in lifestyle. Tim Grover stated best, to WIN you can't have balance, you have to make it.

Motivation is a hard one. The for the landscaping industry, its very easy for burnout to set in around the middle of May when you have an entire season to complete work in.
