Nick and Kyle discuss discipline and focus. There is an old adage "whether you think you can or you can't you are right". A majority of society these days work, come home, watch TV, eat, take care of children (if they have them) and go to bed to repeat. There is not intentional action to grow. With intention comes results, those results are your wins. As those wins stack up you see a betterment in lifestyle. Tim Grover stated best, to WIN you can't have balance, you have to make it. You can have a great family life and great career. The mindless TV watching and scrolling on IG or FB you lose.

Nick and Kyle have an amazing conversation with Cameron, with Grolife in Australia. Cameron came to America in 2023 for the Equip Expo to see what we are doing in America with our landscaping.

Tune in to see what all he has to say while running 3 different operations for Grolife!

Motivation is a hard one. The for the landscaping industry, its very easy for burnout to set in around the middle of May when you have an entire season to complete work in. Its up to the boss and an management to motivate the team to keep on hustling to get to the next level. Without the team you won't make it to the finish line. Nick and Kyle talk about what has and has not worked in Nicks experiences recent and not recent.

Lets talk a bit about TruckMate HD. TruckMate HD is our bulk material dispensing solution for mason body dump trucks. **NO, they do not adapt to a trailer, this will cause a lot of safety issues!** The machine is an absolute beast, handling material from mulch to riprap and firewood, it will dispense the materials into your wheelbarrow. It has its advantages and disadvantages from the MulchMate but you won't be disappointed.

**ALL CONTENT DISPLAYED IS PERSONAL REFERENCE FROM EXPERIENCE**
Nick and Kyle discuss common things landscape businesses commonly use as "tax deductions" in their business. Most companies do this because a "guru" online said you can do it. What most people don't know is that most people are doing it incorrectly and we want to help landscapers do it right!
