In my early days, I thought my work would speak for itself. But here’s the truth: Nobody brags about a guy who just mows the lawn. They remember the one who communicates. That wasn’t me. Not at first. I kept things short. In and out. No small talk. And I paid for it. Jobs dropped off for no real reason. Then I tried something different. I started showing I cared A quick message before if I was running late. Everything changed. Clients became regulars. All from a small shift: If you’re wondering what makes someone stand out in this game — that’s it. Be the one they trust. ​Not just the one who mows.

I don’t treat it like a job interview. I treat it like a chat. When someone rings for a quote, I don’t rush to get off the phone. I keep them talking. Not in a creepy “why won’t he hang up” kind of way — just long enough that calling someone else becomes a chore. By the time they hang up, I’ve already...
I used GPTchat the other day to help me find a cord to connect my PC to a second monitor. Gave it the make and model of both. It told me exactly what I needed and where to get it. I was feeling pretty smug… especially since my wife was about to order a different one and I told her she was wrong. Turns out, she wasn’t. I got home. Plugged it in. Didn’t fit.
