Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

[Johnny boy]

There’s been an insane amount of value in this thread this year.

With Christmas around the corner and a new year coming up, I’m curious, looking back at 2025, what would you say are the biggest lessons for those of us running service businesses?

What did you personally learn this year?
Anything you’re doing differently now compared to the start of the year?

Would be great to hear a 2025 wrap up from your perspective.

Do not use business as an idol, a drug, or an escape from confronting things in your life. Do not be a bad friend, a bad son, a bad brother, a bad person, a bad partner, and then have bad relationships and then say “I’ll just get rich” as a blanket knee jerk reaction to it all. Doing so is like being an addict. Just like the bum on the street uses his fentanyl to fix everything, it’s just as depraved and sad, except at least the bum isn’t arrogant about it.

Your inability to let loose and express yourself is not stoicism, it’s pride and fear.

Do not live with a woman who is not your wife.

Do not daydream or fantasize or plan the future more than the absolute minimum. Your anxiety comes from your mind always living in the future. You end up not knowing who you are, and you end up wasting so much time. You can eliminate the majority of your bad habits, stress, lack of sleep, poor routine, poor discipline, and bad mood just by not living in the future anymore.

Each day, do the next right thing. Wake up and do the first right thing, get up and follow a routine. Then do the next right thing, train your body. Then do the next right thing, work on the important work you must do as a steward of your business. Then do the next right thing, organize your life and environment. Then do the next right thing, be with loved ones, family, close friends, and say yes to things. Then get ready for bed on time and do it again.

Life is short, eternity is long, plan accordingly.

My brother, I would have lived the last 15 years differently.
