The Habits Keeping Your Shop Stuck (And How to Break Them)

The last few years have produced some incredible stories in our industry.

I’ve watched shops triple their revenue and outgrow single locations. I’ve seen owners hunting for their fifth, sixth, seventh shop. But I’ve also watched owners lock down entirely—committed to never making changes, paralyzed by fear and doubt.

The difference between these two groups? It’s not the economy. It’s not the tech shortage. It’s not even their location.

It’s their habits.

One owner has patterns of success. The other has routines of mediocrity.

You Are in Control

In this time of tech shortages, inflation, and economic uncertainty, that’s an important truth to focus on. For all the events and circumstances that feel out of control, so much more is absolutely in your control—most of all the habits you keep and the patterns you create.

The owners who are thriving right now didn’t get there by accident. They got there by:

• Questioning their assumptions about how things “have to be done”
• Building systems that work even when they’re not watching
• Measuring what matters instead of just staying busy
• Leading their teams instead of just managing tasks

Breaking the Cycle

Here’s what I’ve learned from working with hundreds of shop owners: routines of mediocrity can be broken. Patterns of success can be established.

There is nothing keeping you locked into destructive or unsuccessful behavior but you.

The shops that are winning right now aren’t working harder—they’re working differently. They’ve identified the habits that were holding them back and replaced them with habits that drive results.
