"It's when you get sick of your own bullshit. So the story you're telling yourself in your head about your business and all these things, if you're in a victim state, nobody cares. Nobody cares... There are people who have it way worse than you. So clean it up. And keep climbing. You got this."

Takeaways
"Well, one, you can logically look at it and
split test it if you feel trapped. Do more marketing and
advertising and specific neighborhoods get really good at that. So
then the math is more in your favor. Be more of a, a white glove,
prestige, prestige, very high value experience service on time
communication. Everything is like flawless. You get what I'm
saying? Like be the best of the best, but also. Put yourself in a
position so the customers, it's okay if you lose customers, right?
And you don't just raise the price 30%, you raise it in small
incremental percentages on your existing customers, and then higher
percentages on your new customers, and there's all types of
things." - Keith
