"If you just focus on marketing, sales, and production, and consistently focus on getting better and better and better at each one, you're going to be able to have that big load of work. That's the deal, though." - Jacob Godar

Key Takeaways "And so honestly, I'm not saying you should let your quality go if you're wanting to delegate, but you got to understand there's going to be things that come up like we had someone in this office, right to my right is our admin who was working on scheduling all the mowing in Florida. And she's learning more and more that she had a mistake today where something didn't get dispatched. So the team didn't see it. You know, back in the day, that would have freaked me out, man, just like show me so I can show you how to fix that moving forward into the future. So we can get that right. I don't care about mistakes, the more mistakes you make, as long as you don't keep doing them over and over again, the faster we learn, the faster we grow." - Jacob

 

"We all want to build companies grow more make more money. But like the ability to give back and help my team earn more money, like that's that's the cool thing because that's what's going to take you like all the way it's very the whole keep it small and keep it all type of mentality is never going to get you real real far." - Keith
