380. The Failure of My Business: What Happens When You Take Your Eye Off the Finish Line

A good runner never stops envisioning the finish line. A great runner fixes his eyes on the finish line but also thinks about all the little machanics of running from his shoes to each foot fall. Trying to move the body as efficiently as possible to waste the least amount of energy. This is not what I did in my lawn care or driveway repair business. **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** If you would like to be interviewed on the pod please send me an email and let me know.

379. Vacation is Proof of a Healthy Business

Many solo lawn care business owners have the belief that they can't take a vacation in the middle of the summer. They think that if they do it will negatively impact their business and cause them to fail. A vacation is NOT what is going to cause your business to fail. In fact, if your business fails because you take a vacation, there is something else wrong with your business. **Backed by EARTHAPRO** Visit www.earthapro.com [http://www.earthapro.com] Use CODE mowinginthedark25 at checkout to get 25% off your first year!

378. How Do You Handle A Huge Mistake?

I recenty had to go back and resurface a gravel driveway that I put new gravel on last year. This was a huge mistake in my business and resurfacing cost 3 times as much as the original job. The real kicker is that I had to cover all the cost of the new aggregate. This was such a costly mistake, but instead of ignoring the problem or trying to find a way to get the client to pay for my mistake, I just manned up and took it on the chin. How should we handle major mistakes in our business? **Backed by EARTHAPRO** Visit www.earthapro.com [http://www.earthapro.com] Use CODE mowinginthedark25 at checkout to get 25% off your first year!
