In this episode of The Greg McAfee Show, Greg dives into the mindset needed to rise above haters, critics, and low-minded competitors who bark but never bite.

You’ll learn how to stay focused on your mission, respond with strength instead of emotion, and lean on biblical wisdom like Matthew 10:14 to shake off distractions and keep building. Greg reminds us that real support comes from those ahead of you—and that most criticism is rooted in insecurity and jealousy.

If you’re tired of the noise and ready to stay locked in on your purpose, this episode will help you tune it out

An award-winning entrepreneur, Greg McAfee has a passion for helping business owners take their businesses to new heights. In 1990, Greg started McAfee Heating and Air Conditioning Co., his only capital was a meager $274 and a well-used truck. Today, Greg runs one of the most successful HVAC companies in the Midwest and is called upon to share his expertise with other business owners all over the nation. In his new book, “Build and Grow Your HVAC Business”, Greg shares nine elements that will guide you in growing your business. He loves to inspire others to chase their dreams at full force, just as he has in his own life and business. Greg is still the working President of his company and puts the same systems and ideas in to place at his own laboratory, McAfee Heating and Air Conditioning Company, in Dayton, Ohio. Greg resides in Beavercreek, Ohio. Several years ago, Greg sent articles to national trade magazines and many were published, which led to coaching, which led to business boot camps/revivals, and now The Greg McAfee Show. All these services help HVAC business owners think different and help grow their companies. One of the most fun things I’ve done is disrupt the HVAC industry in our market. Are you a disruptor or a disruptee in your market? You have to change some of the ways you do business, you can’t do the same old things and expect different results. I talk about how you can still generate business in the slow seasons. One of the biggest ways I set my HVAC corporate office feel, started 8 to 8 at the same great rate, and same day installation or it was FREE! (We never had to give anything away)
