Running a landscaping business can feel like a constant sprint — quoting jobs, leading your crew, juggling paperwork, and trying to stay afloat. In this episode, Paula strips back the myth that business owners must always come last. She shares a real moment of choosing the gym over a mountain of tasks… and why that decision made her a stronger leader, not a lazy one.
Discover how “me time” is actually a growth tool, the key to avoiding burnout, and one of the smartest strategies a landscaper can use to sharpen focus, boost productivity, and protect their biggest business asset: themselves.
