Do You Have a "WARRIOR MENTALITY"? | Landscaping Business Hustle Mindset Story

[@truthhunter5195]

15:00 right on the money man so used to having constant stress when things are actually going super smooth it does get a little weird you made a lot of great points in this video I also like the one about how you want to constantly be working because you don't want to feel like a little bitch I can relate to this feeling exactly I did a half day today Sunday but I know I should really be taking care of myself more than just other people all the time no matter how much I charged them I still need my time

[@rollinhrd80]

Great stuff Keith it awesome to know I’m not the only one that feels these ways

[@vinniedeluca2188]

Can always count on you dropping a new banger when I’m looking for a banger to watch

[@MatthewSmith-uf6tr]

There is a fine line behind a warrior and going overboard. Love the job and let the money come. Enjoy family and friends. Money is not the end all!

[@Plar66]

Im a 54 yr old construction worker for 25 yrs transitioning to lawncare....i dont want to be just one of the guys anymore...tired of as you put it beating down all the little bitches around me...this guy needs a break...thank you for that therapy session...my new go to video for bad days..thanks much my friend..Love all your videos

at about 5:30 i began to relate so much, when i was working at my own landscape job i was no only always conspiring to start a band of my own landscapers with the crew but also talking about the "conspiracies"

[@oharacare]

[@noahnk1876]

Sometimes when I'm feeling scared, worried about the path of my business, my life. I watch your videos, you help me realize somebody else out there, is and has felt exactly how I feel. You share your stories and emotions in a very real way and it help give me have faith that everything is gonna be okay. God bless you Keith

[@justinreeves1769]

dude this is spot on. just what i needed to hear

[@joserms3]

Keith thanks for the vids. Its always good to hear other poeple about things that i thought I'm the only one has those issues or negative thought. One thing i learned or start saying is that everything will fall in place when the time is right. We all have inside battles. Becuase we see family or friends that are ahead of us but I'm learning to live happy with what god gave me and What can i afford ...

[@crazybrutus1234]

Thanks for sharing this man definitely good to hear

[@keith-kalfas]

Thanks for watching

[@joeschratz9360]

Keith this is super hard to explain but I got you fully. There has been times Ive been working and something flicked like a switch and I worked harder and felt no pain. I am the kinda guy that will work till I feel that I will collapse but in those moments I just am overtaken and cant be knocked down.

[@RaymondNotario]

I want to like this one twice, hits home. Keep going Keith!

[@cheveyoissacharisrael4713]

On standby for that book bro you always make my morning thanks brother for your energy!!! 💪🏾💪🏾

[@robertdunn8287]

Wow Kalfas, there's a lot of parallels between us in thought, your experiences and my own. You have a great talent for describing such experiences. Stay Humble and Gracious my friend, your on the path to glory!

[@alastairduncan1944]

Thank you bro I needed to hear that about ambition, ive been feeling exactly that for a few weeks now and had been messing with my head!

[@inoiz9061]

this shit is therapy for others too strawman. Most relatable landscaper on youtube handsdown

[@j.c.lawntreesnow6272]

Keith i can remember making minimal dollars that make no cents at companys that after a week i thought i could run the business better than they could. I had the skill sets to backup my mouth but other employees felt threatened.

[@bynumtreeandlandscape9000]

Thanks Keith. I needed to see this video this morning.

[@joeSHMO8347]

I've been in that dark place Keith. I was a produce department manager and I did the whole freak out thing on a regular basis. My crew were always worried about me, but my store manager was a complete micromanaging manipulative crazy person. She demanded so much out of me and never gave me the tools or people to meet her demands. I freaked out, threw shit, threatened to quit completely, and looking back, I could have done it all differently.... I was good at managing people,training, and all of the ordering/paperwork. But as soon as she came through I wanted to pull my hair out. She can piss off... I stepped down and started just being a clerk again. But my journey to going full time pressure washing and soft washing is becoming a reality. She will soon see me rise above her bullshit and be more. Yeah she taught me how to manage, but I can take that with me and train, mentor and get good people that will look to me as someone who has their shit together. I felt the warrior mentality and it broke me. BUT i learned from it! Thanks for the video man!

[@cryptoinformative330]

I am loving the content and great videos!! I've subscribed and anytime I'm in my truck you're on the short list of people I have plugged in and listening to. Thank you

[@keith-kalfas]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@alexanderszell2375]

I’ve had the warrior mindset so long without the humbleness that I think I might have a problem lol soo much stress. I have my mom and my girl but I scared everybody off with my anger. You can get soo ambitious that you lose your humbleness. I need tuned ambition for sure

[@thelawncaregivers6034]

I seen on your Instagram you raised your lawn service providers rates on yourself. I’ve had customers do that with me. Winners want to see others win 👍.

[@MatthewSmith-uf6tr]

What does that mean?

[@worldcomingdown6713]

Matt he has people do work at his house and he wanted them to raise their prices for him. He noticed they weren’t paying him enough!

[@clayton6437]

Keith's famous last words "I only have a minute" Here comes a long video!! Love it bro

[@robbg3255]

Yes sir ! You work alone on jobs a lot then You have to develop a warriors mentality ! ✌

[@jerzymaguire7635]

I want to take The Landscaping Business course please! I just fell onto your channel today. This is amazing! I'd like to learn more from you.

[@andrewgordils1]

Spot on Keith! Exactly what I'm going though right now. So stressed out about my success with my company. Good to know it's not just me. Your videos are an inspiration. Keep them coming! Sincerely, American Dryer Vent Cleaning Service LLC. Orlando FL

[@lollandscapedesign1945]

Ohh yeah bruh... totally. I spent my adolescence and early adulthood working for my father doing lawn care maintenance season after season... for what I would now consider a laughable pay rate. I was designing landscapes for peanuts before I ever knew what that kind of work was even worth. He was former military and a police officer so as you can imagine there was no slack. His favorite thing to tell me was that “I could take a break when I was dead.” I remember cussing my dad under my breath for being so hard on me, but I didn’t appreciate the absolute badass that he made out of me. Definitely embraced that “do what it takes to get it done and get it done right” mentality early on. I carried that over when I began my landscaping business and that warrior mentality had me overwhelming and overworking myself. Overthinking everything. My employees constantly telling me to take a break and slow down but I just couldn’t because I was so focused on completing jobs as fast as I could. One of the most difficult things for me to do was to SLOW DOWN... to realize I wasn’t a robot and that my customers didn’t expect me to be. When you’re all in a frenzy, your clients can sense that and it comes off unprofessional. You approach that job site calmly and complete that project with steady resolve. Take your time, learn to delegate and actually let the crew you hire step up and be an extension of yourself. You are so in touch with the internal thought processes that go on inside my mind... it’s almost like you’ve been there before...✌️🎯

[@jasongarcia3559]

Property mindset that was spot in. I am in the middle of starting a landscaping business and freakout with prices on equipment. Thank you for this

[@keith-kalfas]

you're welcome man. i started off buying used equipment on craigslist. sometimes used works just as well as new and usually it'll at least help get you started! good luck man, you're going to be awesome!

[@jimduffin311]

I tell you what, my work has switch has been turned all the way up for months now. This video really hit home. Also tho, i feel if you are the best your company or association has to offer (and everyone know and tells you it) there is nothing wrong with a little cockiness if you back up every word.

[@forevergreenlandscaping1826]

Thank you Keith for sharing your thoughts and reflecting on things with us

[@michaelhahnjr2677]

Thank you for the content you put out! I've learned a ton from your different videos. I own a window cleaning business, I'm looking to expand in the area and I noticed your windows are dirty lol based out of Rochester hills. Been doing well in the first 3months. Thank you for passing it on.

[@keith-kalfas]

I also own a window cleaning business that has it's own channel as well if you're interested in following it. Hope your business is booming! Rock on bro!

[@joshgriffin8216]

You tell it best. Not always what we want to hear but it is always what we need to hear. I take a lot from what you say and would like to thank you for that. I’m just starting my business and your videos really help me.

[@keith-kalfas]

you got this!

[@aciditywormhole9898]

I have a warrior mentality because of you. I have a huge contract to do next year on top of my full time job that will add on a extra few thousand a month. I can’t thank you enough for this. If it wasn’t for you I’d be a lazy f**k making money for someone else and gaining nothing. Once I get more and more clients I will quit my job and go on my own. Keep up these videos.

[@keith-kalfas]

awesome! you got this bro!

[@martinsalinas7869]

Wow I can totally relate this at the moment, thank you Keith

[@allstarlandscaping4177]

Great stuff bro!

[@jerzymaguire7635]

By the way it also sounds like you might have A.D.D. I have it too, it's not bad, it just might help you understand yourself by looking into what it means to have A.D.D. or even hyperactive maybe.... Hence the part about not being able to sit still. Ha! It's also probably what drives you so well to stay busy motivated and efficient. I love your videos, they are very inspiring. Thank-you! God bless you! You have a good heart!

YSS humility... thats the word.

[@liltmusicandtruckchannel9397]

Keith Kalfas hey I do landscaping around my block and im 17 almost 18 but im wondering should I start where you were at in a company or should I start a business because I wanna learning the strings and basics first and I don’t drive or anything but I will give you my email so we can talk and then maybe we can zoom on video chat so we can actually get to know each other and see what I desire and stuff but my gmail is [e-mail]

[@rncbreezy2543]

Me and you are so alike, even down to the conspiracy theories lol, you help me out a lot, Keith

[@DEPLORABLEKULAK3]

Keith these thoughts are all very normal. You are an entrepreneur. I recommend Manic Edge (audiobook). That help me understand why I never fit in. Then E-myth. that helped me systematized things so I could lose the sense of wasting my life doing what I did not want to do. Love the content Kieth, stay Manic

Can I ask a question and hopefully you will answer it unless it is personal then just say personal but which do you make better money on landscape or window cleaning I'm guessing windows but not sure if it's personal
