What Got You Here, Won't Get You There - MDL Episode 57

In the past, we were 100% guilty of working solely  "IN" and not "ON"  our landscaping business. If this is you don’t feel bad, I think it is all of us at one point or another.
 
We spent way too many years just working and working and working and hoping and hoping and hoping that things would turn around.We were busting butt, booked solid, and we weren’t broke.But the money wasn’t exactly flowing in either.
 
We just kept hustling...Kept working and working….Because that was what got us to where we were.
 
But guess what...
 
That wasn’t getting us to where we wanted to be.
 
Because what got us there (straight up hustling) wasn’t working anymore and therefore it wasn’t going to get us where we wanted to be.
 
I know this is a bit of a mind twister…
 
But think about it…

You could get by with not looking at your numbers and not watching your budget because you were small and didn't have much overhead.  
But if you're feeling frazzled, overworked, and broke...Chances are that whatever you've been doing to get you to this point...Isn't going to the next point of where you want your business to be.
 
So, what can you do to get you where you want to be?
