Do Not Let Winter Erase Last Year’s Progress

In this episode, Jeremiah breaks down what discipline really is, not motivation or talent, but consistent action when there is little to no immediate reward. He ties that definition to the winter season in the green industry, where it is easy to coast for weeks, lose momentum, and show up in spring already behind. Jeremiah shares a real story from reffing high school basketball to show how a lack of discipline shows up in leadership, culture, and decision making under pressure. He then translates it directly into landscaping operations, from simple field habits that prevent expensive losses to owner level habits like tracking metrics, tightening admin processes, and refusing to jump in and rescue the crew. The episode closes with a push to generate sales, stay scrappy in the slow season, and build a vision big enough that your team can fit their own goals inside it
