Most entrepreneurs are trapped in a brutal cycle: sprint hard until you burn out, then stop completely and lose all momentum. Drawing from his experience scaling a dealership while juggling overwhelming daily responsibilities, Kyle reveals the fatal flaw in "slow and steady wins the race" thinking - it only works if your competition stops running. Discover why sustainable success requires running both fast and long, how to tackle massive to-do lists without getting paralyzed, and the critical balance between working "in" your business versus "on" your business. Perfect for entrepreneurs drowning in responsibilities while trying to maintain their long-term vision.

In this episode of the Value Race Podcast, I examine the powerful impact of our thoughts through the lens of self-fulfilling prophecies, referencing insights from Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. I share my struggles with negative thought cycles during tough entrepreneurial periods and emphasize the importance of focusing on gratitude and positivity. By shifting our perspectives, we can shape our reality and attract more success. I encourage listeners to evaluate their thought patterns and celebrate their achievements, highlighting the significant influence our internal dialogues have on our lives.

My business is getting its ass kicked. More cars, more ads, more staff... still losing deals.

My wife and I got into it over something I've NEVER talked about publicly. Something that made me question everything about how I show up as a husband.

My back injury? Nearly broke me. Like... I didn't want to get out of bed level broke me.

Look, I could've sugar-coated this episode. Made it sound all motivational speaker-y. But screw that.

This is me telling you EXACTLY what I did when life came at me sideways. The actual phone calls I made. The uncomfortable conversations I had with my wife. The cold plunges at 5 AM when I wanted to quit.

Because here's the thing... when shit hits the fan (and it WILL), you've got three choices: shut down, make excuses, or do the work.

I chose option three. Even when it hurt. Especially when it hurt.

No fluff. No theory. Just what actually worked when everything was falling apart.
