Overcoming Struggles in Life 

Hey, what's up, it's Keith Kalfas with the Untrapped Podcast and KeithKalfas.com. I'm listening to this audiobook, and there's a quote by Albert Einstein.  He said,

"Only two things in this universe are infinite. One the universe, and two, human stupidity."

I want to call this talk, "Walk the line."

It's about walking the line and having integrity with yourself, with your heart, and with your soul in your life because there's really no other way to go.

Do you ever notice parking lot lines?

Check this out. Your goal in walking the line is to get all the way to the end by that green grass over there. You see all these are all detours.

So you're walking this line, right? You're walking man. I'm walking this tightrope, right? It's so hard. It's so difficult you like a spring chicken. You can't even balance your suffering.

Parking lot lines are a great example showing how you can walk in & out of...

"TRUTH EXPOSED" ABOUT YOUR FIRST YEAR IN THE LANDSCAPING BUSINESS

 What's up? 

I want to invite you to a very specific emotion of some of the crap I went through my first six months of business.

So, to the brand new guys, I’m going to tell you some stuff that I wish people would have told me. I wish this information was out there during my first six months of business. And here is the way it goes. During my first six months of business, I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know what to charge.

Well, I thought if I charge these people enough so I make $15 an hour, I'll be okay. I was dead wrong because I wasn't figuring in all the other prices and all the other you know, relevant costs. 

So, I'm doing these jobs, I'm working my guts out, I had just quit my day job, and I was working...
