In this episode, Jason Schroeder lays out the hard truth: if you want to be successful, you have to stop doing what unsuccessful people do and stop patterning your career after leaders who never get promoted. He shares a real story of a technically capable field engineer who stayed stuck for years because pride kept him from following a simple double-check system. Then Jason walks through 20 destructive habits and mindsets that will quietly cap your career in construction if you don't neutralize them.

What you'll learn in this episode:

· Why pride and "I can get it right the first time" thinking will eventually derail you

· The 20 habits that stall careers in construction, from weak accountability to poor communication

· How disorganization and inability to delegate keep people stuck at lower levels

· Why speaking up, learning continuously, and staying mentally sharp are non-negotiable

· The difference between repeating mistakes and developing real grit and growth

· How to choose mentors who are actually getting promoted and model what works

If you want to be successful, stop tolerating the behaviors that guarantee failure and start copying what the best in the industry do consistently.
