Does this sound familiar? You turn on some paid ads. Season hits. Work gets CRAZY. Leads are pouring in. You are overwhelmed - so you shut off your ads and stop marketing so you can catch up.

Then the calls stop. The work slows down. You start struggling to keep your team working.

Sh*t.

You rush to turn the paid ads back on. You push out marketing. You do all you can to get the phone to ring.

And then it begins again.

In today’s episode, we are breaking down the roller coaster cycle of business so many contractors experience and sharing real strategies to create consistency within your company -

PLUS the worst advice we have *ever* heard.

Cheers to our 50th Episode! Instead of one big talk, we break this episode into five sections:

1) JIM HUSTON

We tell the story of the cosmically-aligned meeting between Jacob and “the king of the industry” - a financial guru that coaches green industry professionals, plus our thoughts on investing in yourself & your business

Contact Jim at Green Industry Management Consulting: https://jrhuston.biz

2) ENTREPRENEUR’S LIVE IN FORT MYERS, FL

Jacob talks about his first speaking engagement at our friend AJ Ackerman’s event and shares his most powerful takeaway from the event, plus we quantify “gold nuggets.”

Follow AJ on Instagram: https://instagram.com/_ajackerman_

3) MILE HIGH PROFIT SUMMIT IN DENVER, CO

This is coming up next for us - a family vacation plus an incredible conference all rolled into one, as well as Jacob’s next venture on stage.

Get one of the last tickets for Tom Reber’s event on September 14 - 16, 2022: https://thecontractorfight.com/mile-high-profit-summit/

4) EQUIP EXPOSITION IN LOUISVILLE, KY

This October, Jacob and a few team members from our Cape Coral, FL, location are meeting team members from our Springfield, IL, location for this year’s “GIE” (now known as the Equip Exposition). Will we see you there?

Check out the Equip Exposition: https://www.equipexposition.com/

5) TRAINING DAY IN CAPE CORAL, FL

We wrap this episode up by discussing our FIRST in-person event happening at our office on October 14, 2022. We get into how/why we are keeping it intentionally connection-focused, plus what it could become in the future.

We start this episode by sharing what Jacob did yesterday and *why* he did it - and will continue doing it.

Then we go right into the Tip of the Week: “what gets measured gets improved.” This is SO true for all sectors of life - in your business, your health, and even in your relationships.

But if you’re here for the big talk, then you’ll love what comes next.


We discuss how Jacob fits two workouts into *every* day, the difference in just being physically active and actually treating your body & mind well, our gym routines, tracking nutrition, [how little we know about] gym belts, and more.

Guess which one of us takes a pilates class.

Woooooo, this is a heavy one.

But first, the Tip of the Week: leaders can be vulnerable too… do you struggle with putting your walls down? Don’t be afraid to have conversations like the one we have today.

Then our main topic kicks off with the question “what tools did you learn in marriage counseling that helped your communication the MOST?”

We may not be able to give you quotes from our therapist as a silver bullet for your relationship, but we CAN (and do) openly share more about who *we* are, the things we have been through, our personal strengths & weaknesses, and the biggest struggles we have in our relationship today.

We dive into our childhoods, [controversial thoughts on] depression, how Jacob combats bad moods, taking control of your mind, and so. much. more.

We kick off this episode by talking acne treatments, back pain, and annoying happiness… but then we get into what really matters: a big Tip of the Week on marketing that you *cannot* miss.

Then we dive into the main topic: employing our children at our landscaping company.

We recently put Jace (almost 7) and Blake (just turned 5) on our payroll - and now we’re telling you all about it.


(Spoiler alert: Blake no called, no showed after his first week.)

We dive into the “life lessons” and motivation behind this decision, the tasks we have assigned Jace, and how we are incorporating it into a well-rounded homeschooling education.

Finally, we challenge you to ask your kids a really special question… and we want to know what they say, so tag us on Instagram with their response.

We kick this episode off by talking shaggy rugs, colds, and consistency (in our Tip of the Week).

The hard-hitting Tip of the Week transitions right into our main talk on a weird trend we noticed happening in August every year.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by too much (or not enough work), lack of employees, or the burnout that comes with business ownership… this one is for you.

In this episode, we talk about the real strategies we have taken to eliminate "The August Curse" and continue thriving at our company year-round.

Today’s episode was inspired by a recent coaching call with our good friends: a couple about to leave their first lawn and landscaping location in the hands of their leadership team to launch a second location.

The cool part? Their first location is *also* in Illinois, and their second location is *also* in southwest Florida.

With this huge transition on their plates, they asked us: “what did YOU do to have such an aggressive launch in Florida?”

So in this episode, we give some of our BEST advice for anyone who wants to aggressively launch their business. Whether it be your first, second, fifth, or tenth launch, this is for you.

But before we dive in, don’t miss the Tip of the Week on mining gold… it might be exactly what you’re missing.

Today we are diving into the concept of striving for “progress over perfection:” taking consistent action versus waiting for things to feel or seem perfect before moving forward.

But first, we talk wisdom teeth removal, eating edibles in Vegas, our upcoming coaching event, vacationing in Hawaii, and our BIG tip of the week: be more like our friend Jenna.

Then we dive into our own experiences with progress over perfection when it comes to launching an incentive pay program, publishing websites, and other big moves - plus, we give advice if YOU struggle with overthinking, hesitating, or working toward “perfection.”

Come train with us in southwest Florida this fall.

Today’s episode is all about hiring… and how damn hard it is to build a team.

We kick it off with a strong Tip of the Week that will massively improve your culture, along with what we are doing right now to show our team members that we appreciate them.

Then we dive right in with an answer to the question: “why is it so hard for businesses starting out to find help?”

We get REAL about how to present your business on social media and how it directly correlates to your success when hiring, plus our tips on *what* to post to attract the right people.

(Yes, post your lunch on your business Facebook.)

But if you’re hearing us and thinking, “that strategy sounds great, but it’s not for me,” then the next part is FOR SURE for you.

We discuss what to do if you HATE the idea of getting in front of the camera and posting yourself all over social media in order to build your team.

Then we wrap up by talking about the interview process, holding interviews at Starbucks, and avoiding hiring the wrong people.

Stay for the *very* end...

Then we SKIP the Tip of the Week because today’s main topic is just. too. huge.

We get real about what *really* happened on Jacob’s motocross journey to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, then we dive deep into the list of major f*ck ups we’ve had over the years…

We’ve kept bad employees too long, pissed off great clients, installed the wrong thing at a client's property… and that's just the tip of it.

So what’s the message?

Embrace failure.

Start sucking more and sucking faster, so you can learn and grow faster, *especially* if you feel like your business isn’t growing as quickly as you wish it was.
