Just want to say thankyou for your videos. I've been following you for a while and watch your videos just about every day. Most of them il watch 2 to 3 times. We are a growing lawn mowing business in New Zealand and to have people like you making these videos is so valuable to small businesses like me. Really appreciate it 🙏 keep it up man :)
Hats off gentlemen! This was an amazing video. Love the talk on life balance, huge for new guys to learn early! Definitely wish I would I would have had this video, when I stared! Keep making these videos
Wow, this was awesome! Another one saved for a later listen. I’m a handyman that offers lawn care and plowing, so I’m booked year round, and lately running around like a chicken. My wife and I don’t get too much time together, maybe go out one or two days a month on a date. But between work and the family life with the kids, which I strictly keep separate, I literally have to plan and schedule EVERYTHING. As Grant Cardone has said “money is the most important thing to me, with out money how can I support my family” I agree to that to an extent, which is why I schedule my family time. And I’m lucky enough that my wife as well, puts up with my s**t season to season. I get customers where I can only do work on the weekends because they’ve had bad experiences with other companies. That’s the way the cookie crumbles and I’m flexible with my customers in that aspect. It gets hectic but without control of what your doing now you won’t be able to get where you want to go and do what you want to do. Again, great video guys. And thank you for the MOWtivation 🤙
Viewing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and on February 25th, I'll add that in regards to winter services, we have been active most of this month as well with frequent icing, snow storms etc.. this winter has been great with the possibility of another month plus of winter type weather ahead. I enjoy the winter months because I have oddles of personal time and when there's precipitation we make oddles of money. Sometimes, while clearing snow, I think to myself, this beats the daily spring and summer grind of monotonous physical activity in those types of strenuous conditions.
I am most definitely the person who gets pumped up talking to people and motivating people. I am not making crap now, but I know I have tons of skills that I am not getting paid for in my job and I motivate myself by visualizing my future. Brian is definitely informative and the real deal true guy and I respect that and it inspires me. However, I can’t personally relate with the introvert. I take videos from him and you and read and study everything I can. I personally plan to make a slightly different business than either one of you but it would involve landscaping. Thanks for the videos and keep them up! Definitely motivating.
I'm definitely an extrovert!! I've been told for years that I have to much mouth!!!😁😁 But in all seriousness, I love people. Truly, there isn't a right or wrong answer! But I truly believe that you have to be a people person to a certain extent to be successful in life and business! This podcast is the truth!!! I'm married. Four years in July, been together for almost 11!
There’s so much amazing information in this video, I would have to rewatch this multiple times just to properly digest this content. Great video guys!!! Thank you!!
What a great video both of you two together is an amazing thing to see. I can't even get halfway through this video without restarting it because there's so much stuff in it it's really great and exactly what I needed after a very long day. I had to hire somebody and they worked out great I can't believe it it really took a lot of stress off of me and I was able to focus more on the details. But yeah great video thank you I'm sure I'm going to watch it a dozen times
Nice Podcast Keith, can't wait to get into more details in the future. I am particularly interested in the positive/negative affects of relationships on business... I will be glad to share some insight.
2 of my favorite UA-camrs and local inspirations for me! Great content as always 🤘 7:58 this is honestly one of the biggest challenges for small guys growing. Wanting to build relationships with clients, but trying to keep things moving
I think a great topic on one of these podcasts would be retirement when you own your own business. It’s not a very talked about topic. Keep killing it!
I've trained my guys to interrupt me if im talking to customers too long. The clients say almost everything "sorry I know you need to get back to work"
Hey guys, amazing interview. Great stuff discussed, Brian really got deep into it. I'm halfway through it but felt the need to comment. Keep it up guys. Happiness to me is such a roller coaster , no real end goal just the process with many ups and downs. Family is key and of course having enough money to keep the gears moving. I think alot about legacy as well, how my children will remember me etc etc. Keep it up
For sure I agree with you 100% It needs a 2:1 compressor set to medium threshold with a soft knee at - 3 Db. Then a low pass eq bass roll off at 100hZ an a high pass attenuation at 10,000hz with a slight boost in the 250hz and 500hz range. Then, we're going to run the analog signal through a mos fet amplifier with an onboard tube 'for proper even order harmonics and that analog tube saturation warmth of course" but before we do all this, all these channels will be ran as bus channels through my SSL board or maybe my Universal Audio twin channel. Then when we're all done, and just before we run the signal through my Apogee analog to digital converter interface at a crystal clear 24bit @ 192k we're going to apply onboard mastering with the perfect amount of eq, compression and normalization. But remember!... If you plan on this hitting FM radio, you don't want to pan your stereo field too wide past 50%. because the farther you travel past radio towers, the more mono the signal gets!... lol haha
Brians Lawn "fake it to make it".... Mike Andes is 10yrs younger and has already made more money than these 2 put together ever will in a lifetime... I like keith he is semi genuine.... This other dude is just gimmicky promoting bullshit products.... If you want to be a lawn jockey your in the perfect place.... if you want a legit business Run as fast as you can from these Fake it to make posers giving out trash advice with ZERO success to back it up
Hey Keith thanks for having me on the show brotha! I’m honored! Hope it helps folks grow 💪
Thanks Brian! Great having you on the podcast. 🥊
This is great, waiting for Brian to do his Keith Kalfas impression though. As we say in Vegas, orale wey!

Not what I expected....
Much better! Who knew these guys were philosophers when they aren't landscaping!

Wahoo!
That intro pumped me up, 🤙
Great video! Very inspirational!
God wired me to be an introvert.I love relationships.Married to my best friend for 24 years.Great interview Keith👍🏿
24 Years. That's incredible.
Guys you got on fire with the mowing talk. That's my focus right now, anyway.
I think a great topic on one of these podcasts would be retirement when you own your own business. It’s not a very talked about topic. Keep killing it!
Great learning opportunity. Great podcast! Nice work, Keith! 👊🏻
This was a great podcast. I love watching you both.
Thanks KP
I've trained my guys to interrupt me if im talking to customers too long. The clients say almost everything "sorry I know you need to get back to work"
Awesome podcast. Keep them coming.
I feel like this podcast was cut short, definitely need to have Brian back on again!!
Brian awesome content Bro!
That intro is tough bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🔑🔑🔑
Good info, thanks for sharing!
Loved this!
Hey guys, amazing interview. Great stuff discussed, Brian really got deep into it. I'm halfway through it but felt the need to comment. Keep it up guys.
Happiness to me is such a roller coaster , no real end goal just the process with many ups and downs. Family is key and of course having enough money to keep the gears moving. I think alot about legacy as well, how my children will remember me etc etc.
Keep it up
Jonathan! What's up man. Great seeing you over here.
@@keith-kalfas haha I'm everywhere good content exists. Man , Jordan Peterson has been blowing my mind lately.
cool set, great convo
Do you have a link to your podcast video/audio set up? Would really appreciate it!
In my personality I am more extroverted, but I do have times that I am introverted.
Awesome podcast
I love seeing all the Robert Kiyosaki and Trump books on the shelf 👍
Enjoyed the podcast!
Thanks ZJ
Good Podcast Boys!
Very cool!!
LOVE IT!
There are customers I look forward to talk to, aaannnd, there are customers I hope won't be home or come out. lol

21:59 - 22:09 aaawkward lol awesome info guys
Getting real hi Brian keith
Post a picture of the aerater!!!
Hey Keith have you ever seen any cannabis plants on a customers property?
Hmm. Only once. Years ago.
Name of book the guy you met on plane?
I've been 50/50 family/ business
Life like ridding bike just keep moving
It's the 1950's again judging from the headphones and boom mic
His setup works and does the job.
You really need to do something different when recording your mic. I'm not sure exactly maybe it's clipping, but a $400 mic shouldn't sound that bad.
For sure I agree with you 100% It needs a 2:1 compressor set to medium threshold with a soft knee at - 3 Db.

@@keith-kalfas lol sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear it. 😉
What's wrong with your current service? Why are you trying to get me for $18, when $ 18 isn't showing up???🤔...👊
Lol gosh this happens too much in our industry amen?
Just listened to 15 minutes of qoutes from other people
I;m an extravert, helps me sell really well. I go to the estimate to get the job & not give a free estimate
Married 13 years.
Funny how neither on of you guys ever talk about saving for retirement !
Gross $150k but only keep $30. Come on thats not real. This guy has one truck and trailer ,one plow truck and no salter
Keith kalfas needs to smoke MORE weed !
Narcissist = Brian
