Ever feel like your business is crumbling beneath your feet? That's exactly where I found myself after a life-altering car accident forced me away from daily operations of my thriving lawn care company. What followed was a painful cascade of losses - every single employee and half my customer base vanished within months.
The journey from managing multiple crews back to being a solo operator required a complete mental reset. Those training videos from last spring showing a shop full of employees learning the ropes? That reality disappeared faster than I could have imagined. The systems I thought were solid proved insufficient when I couldn't physically be present. I had done "just enough" with my onboarding, handbook, and training program, but reality revealed these weren't robust enough to sustain the business through crisis.
Today's episode gets deeply personal as I share how gratitude became my lifeline during rebuilding. When my only truck broke down this morning, leaving me with repair costs and just six completed properties out of twenty scheduled, my employee marveled at my continued positivity. The secret? Perspective gained from remembering where I started - crying in my living room years ago with no truck at all, until a stranger unexpectedly donated one. This perspective shift isn't just feel-good advice; it's a practical business strategy that's transforming how I make decisions, interact with clients, and structure operations moving forward.
Whether you're facing business challenges or personal setbacks, practicing gratitude for your current position - however difficult - provides the mental clarity needed to rebuild stronger.
