I agree 1000%! I wanted to find it so bad.Unrelated, but can we talk about how awesome the "foot clan" hangout area was in the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie? I know they were the villains, but man I wanted to go there as a kid

When pressure hits, who do you become?

Met with PBD today on our monthly call for Energize Us Edu.
These were the lines that he shared with me about our current state:
Don’t ask for more if you fold when it shows up.
I wanted to share this with you all.
What do you think ?
These were the lines that he shared with me about our current state:
- “Watch your language—the world will gives it to you back.”
- “Overwhelmed? The man upstairs says: give him more, he can handle it, or give him less”
- “You need the BEST people to handle pressure. Find the pulse on your team, their pain threshold, remove negative or “real talk” mentality, focussed on negative aspects calling it real talk.”
Don’t ask for more if you fold when it shows up.
I wanted to share this with you all.

The Real Reason You’re Stuck (It’s Not the Customer)
- The Blue Room

I’ve met a lot of contractors over the years.
And there’s always that one guy...
Every story ends the same:
“Customers always do this.”
“Employees don’t want to work.”
“This industry’s just broken.”
Then they top it off with:“
Hey… that’s just how business is.”
But here’s what I’ve learned: Sometimes what you're calling a ‘normal problem’…is really a pattern you haven’t taken ownership of yet.
Because when you change how you view problems.
You stop blaming, start building, most importantly, you start leading.
So I want to hear from y'all, What problem are you owning this week?

Contracts with customers vs Contracts with yourself

You’d never start a job without a contract, estimate or anything in writing, right?
So why are you trying to build a business… run a team… or chase your goals… without a contract with yourself?
It's so funny how business taught me so many different life lessons and how they all play a part.
So I created this breakdown for myself whenever I want a new goal, or ones starting their own business.
Do you all think business plans are valuable ?

Are You Building a Business or Just Buying Problems?

When I started contracting, I just want to jump in and hit the ground running.
Ive got the skill. Ive got the drive.
But there's a catch .... Growth costs more than money.
It costs:
Your time
Your sleep
Your weekends
Your peace of mind
Sometimes even your relationships
You want to bring on a new guy?
Cool.
Are you ready to train him, lead him, and carry the pressure when he’s not producing yet?
You want to buy a new truck or tool?
Cool.
Are you ready for the stress that comes with the financing, maintenance, or overhead that doesn't go away?
This is when I began to ask myself:
What am I willing to give up to get where I’m going?
Am I ready for the weight that comes with more responsibility?
Can I handle the pressure without breaking myself?
Where do you all stand on this ?

#1 Reason Most Contractors Shut Down
- The Blue Room

I dont know if you all can relate to this, but ever since starting my business, I have been obsessed with the study of my mind.
I dont mean the corny, self help, realization of past trauma and not just motivation.
I’m talking about the beliefs that shape our decisions, the ones we don’t even realize are holding us back.
It's crazy to see so many individuals on instagram always talk about being real, raw and authentic and then it doesn't carry any weight, because they dont focus on who they are.
On surface level they say everything right and then it doesn't bear fruit.
There's always truth in acknowledging hard times, but a hyper focus on only the negative pisses me off.
This is why most businesses don’t fail because of lack of skill.
They fail because of limiting beliefs. How they view the industry and work.
If you’re not asking better questions about yourself, you’ll keep repeating the same patterns.
So let me ask you:
What belief do you have or struggling with?

Did You Know the Oldest Business in the World Is a Contracting Company?

“Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, 15 years?” Take a minute to think about it ....
Now let me hear it please.
Before we begin, I'll be giving a little history lesson, so if this isn't for you. I won't take offense...
Guess what, if you have a vision, if you have a plan, you are already ahead of the curve.
If you dont .... Then you are not alone !
Most of the time, the answer is…
“I just want to make it through this week.”
Or, “If I can survive the year, I’ll be good.”
You are doing everything you need to stay alive and I solute you. But thinking like that holds us all back. It keeps us stuck in survival mode, making the joy of contacting a threat. Always reacting, never building or planning for the future.
So we did the research.Turns out the oldest company in the world, not just in trades, but in any industry, happens to be a contracting company.
Kongo Gumi. Japan. Founded in 578 AD.
For over 1,400 years. Let that sink in.
In the U.S., it’s DF Pray, since 1830. Still building today.
Here’s the point:
If it’s been done — it’s possible.
The question is:
Are you building something that can last?
