He recalls how he started his landscaping business with an obsessive focus on quality and customer care, only to land a wealthy client whose massive property overwhelmed him.

This mistake haunted him for years, teaching him valuable lessons about knowing his worth and the importance of doing the job right the first time. He emphasizes the significance of providing top-notch work and charging appropriately, highlighting the stress and emotional toll of undercharging and cutting corners. Keith also touches on using Jobber Software to improve his business operations.

It was so small it was like a pinhole. It might as well been a whole black sky and me looking up at one single star. I was broke, I was in debt, I had debt collectors call me, and I would go out to the park at night, look at the sky, and get on my knees, and I would pray to God, and I would say, "God, please let me be successful. Please. Please." I was begging him, and I felt God say, "No, you got a long way to go. It's gonna happen, but you got a long way to go." 00:00:35 But here's the thing: even in the pit, I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel because I could see it. I could see it. Even though it was this small, there was still a light. So all I had to do was just put my focus on it and put one foot in front of the other. I was walking the line. And bro, it took another 15 years. And here's why because: if God gives you what you want, that you say that you want, that you're praying for, that you're begging for, that you're asking for, if he gives it to you right now, you have not developed the skill set. You hadn't been through the real hard work and actually got the stars and stripes to be able to deal with the responsibility of what you're asking for. 00:01:15 Are you ready for all that? You better be careful what you wish for because you might only get it once and you squander it, you mess it up? No. So I'm asking god, "Please delay my blessing until I'm ready for it because I see the light at the end of the tunnel." This is a blessing that I'm going through the pit right now in despair because now I got all this time to walk it out. So when I do get there, when I do get there, when you do get there, you'll be ready to walk into your blessing. And you can handle it because you're a good steward of your blessing. And it's not just about money. If you read the book, The Wealth Money Can't Buy by Robin Sharma. 00:01:58 Bro, he talks about how wealth is just one little tiny piece of the pie. There's all these other ...
