This week, host Steve Bousquet dives deep into the pivotal role of mindset during the most challenging stretch in the green industry—the notorious “100 Days of Hell.” As business owners battle burnout, overwhelm, and constant change, Steve introduces practical tools like the Choice Map by Dr. Marilee Adams, which helps leaders and teams shift from a victim mentality to a proactive, learner mindset. He discusses the importance of self-awareness, recognizing when you’re operating from a “Judger” versus “Learner” perspective, and how simple switching questions can get you back on track. Steve also shares insights on leveraging your Clifton Strengths domains to operate in your unique zone of energy and effectiveness, and challenges listeners to reconsider the old stories they tell themselves, focusing instead on those that fuel growth and positivity.
Throughout the episode, Steve unpacks common pitfalls such as the need to always be right, dominating conversations, or diminishing others’ experiences, and explains the hidden costs these behaviors bring to relationships, company culture, and personal fulfillment. He encourages business owners to celebrate their strengths, stay curious, and practice conscious leadership by listening, acknowledging, and supporting those around them. Whether you’re leading a team through a tough season or seeking more joy in your daily work, this episode offers actionable advice and a friendly reminder that mindset mastery can transform not just your business, but your entire outlook on life.
