Description

We’re rolling into Dallas to kick off a Guinness World Record–level Festival of Lights build and we’re talking habits: the small, repeatable actions that quietly compound into monster wins.

Inside this episode:

  • Always Be Learning (for real): how to build a documented library of lighting details (good/bad day & night photos), ask better questions, and avoid “parrot” advice.

  • Stairs & landings done right: glare traps, elevation changes, placement pitfalls… and why catalogs often mislead you.

  • The Notebook Rule: why we all carry physical notebooks, how “permission to forget” boosts focus, and how to turn notes into SOPs that scale.

  • Morning routines that matter: stretch, move,and think before inboxes and fires. Use your best brain hours to push the business forward.

  • Time discipline: pre-qualify hard, stop wasting hours, measure your week by face-to-face selling moments.

  • ABN - Always Be Networking: take meetings, study other industries’ presentations, and steal follow-up tactics that work.

  • Money habits: keep overhead viciously low then reinvest in skills that separate you.

  • February Advanced Training: limited seats, application required. This is not basics. It’s for doers who demo, learn, and implement.

Plus, a quick sponsor shout: Lifetime Lighting’s TITAN (MR11 drop-in) is here hardscape-ready with a full mount family. It’s a weapon for tight spaces and precision work.
