Winning doesn’t happen by accident—especially in the trades. It takes relentless ownership, clear vision, and the discipline to do what most won’t.

In this episode, home service business coach Chad Peterman breaks down The Law of Victory, a leadership mindset that separates growth-driven leaders from the rest. He shares how Kobe Bryant inspired a winning culture through his actions, the importance of understanding what victory means for every member of your team, and how excuses are the enemy of sustainable success.

From HVAC and plumbing teams to high-performance leadership squads, this episode is a gut-check for anyone leading in the home services industry.
