“You don’t wanna wait until you feel like you’re ready because you’ll never be there.” 🎥

Vince Del Vacchio Del Vacchio Landscapes & Christmas Decor put it simply: the best advice he got at his ACE Discovery meeting was “Don’t wait. Go first.”

He was the first in his group to host a site visit and the feedback he got right off the bat gave him so much to work with. Waiting to “feel ready” still means you’re stuck. Act and attend ACE Discovery!

"You don't have a people problem. You just have an ownership dependency problem." 🎙️

Kevin Keim sees this constantly with landscape business owners: approving every meaningful decision, wanting to be CC'd on everything, jumping in to redo an employee's work because you can do it faster. It feels like leadership. It's actually control.

Hear the rest on this week's episode of Roots of Success — link in bio.

If you disappeared for two weeks, what would stop? 🎙️

This week's Owner's Blind Spots episode is one that’s hard to admit: you might be the bottleneck in your own company. Kevin Keim breaks down the difference between delegating and just doing it all yourself — and five questions that will help you find where you're stuck.

New episode is live: https://mcfarlinstanford.com/podcast/owners-blind-spots-youre-the-bottleneck-and-you-dont-know-it/
