Most shop owners think they’re chasing growth. They’re not. They’re chasing a feeling they’ve tied to “when”—and that’s why it never shows up. In this episode, I break down the pattern that keeps you pushing without ever feeling like you’ve arrived, even when the shop is improving. You’ll see why your brain defaults to what’s broken, how that impacts your leadership and team, and the simple shift that changes how you experience your business every day. If you’ve been working harder but feeling no relief, this will hit home.

Your shop isn’t stuck—but it’s likely leaking time and profit every single day. The same problems keep coming back, no matter how many times you “fix” them.

And that mistake is costing you hours, efficiency, and real money. In this episode, Rick breaks down the READ framework so you can stop chasing symptoms and finally fix what’s actually broken.
