Today's show captures one of Eric's coaching calls focused on personal and professional growth for contractors, introduced through the metaphor of a fire triangle with fuel, oxygen, and heat representing key elements for success. Participants share their struggles with finding and maintaining motivation, identifying what fuels their drive and what provides the necessary oxygen and heat, which can include self-awareness, confidence, continuous learning, and support from others. The conversation highlights the importance of actively identifying these elements and consciously nurturing them to prevent burnout and achieve goals, emphasizing that growth requires intentional effort and accountability. Sharing experiences and seeking help from a supportive community are presented as crucial components of this personal and professional development process.

Key Takeaways:

• Identify your personal fire triangle by figuring out what serves as your fuel, oxygen, and heat.
