As we head into a new year, this episode hits on something most contractors feel but rarely say out loud. Mike Johnson runs a snow removal crew, a hardscape operation, and a growing team—but the real shift came when he realized success didn’t matter if he carried stress everywhere he went.

Mike breaks down how he reclaimed peace, rebuilt trust in his team, and stopped letting work steal from his home life.

Takeaways:

✅ If you can’t shut your brain off at night, you don’t have a work problem—you have a peace problem. 

✅ Letting go of control isn’t a mindset—it’s a hiring move. 

✅ One mistake can cost a contract… but how you handle it can win loyalty forever.

✅ Social media doesn’t reward perfect… it rewards real. 

✅ Marketing isn’t about making the phone ring—it’s about who’s calling.

If you’re stepping into the new year determined to build a better business and a better life, this episode gives you a grounded place to start.
