WHEN GROWTH STARTS TO FEEL LIKE A GRIND (FOCUS ON THIS)

There’s a moment in business where the growth starts to feel like a grind.

You’ve built momentum.

You’re hitting revenue goals.

You’ve got the systems, the team, the brand.

But somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling sharp.

You wake up tired.

You say yes to things you shouldn’t.

You keep scaling, but the more you build, the heavier it feels.

That’s the part most entrepreneurs never talk about.

Because at the beginning, you’re running on adrenaline. You’re scrappy. You go relentlessly hard and execute.

But eventually, all that hustle turns into overload.

And if you’re not careful, you end up building a business that drains you instead of serving you.

I share this with you because I’ve coached thousands of entrepreneurs, and they all hit this wall at one point or another.

And I’ve also been there.

I’ve also built things that “worked” on paper but cost me my peace. 

I’ve burned out, snapped at people I care about, and built things that looked good but didn’t feel good.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

When the work starts to weigh on you, it’s time to stop doing more and start focusing better.

There are two things every entrepreneur needs to get clear on:

  1. Where your energy goes

Energy is your most valuable currency.

Where you focus, follow.

And if you’re spending that energy in the wrong places, you won’t have anything left for what actually moves the needle.

This is about decisions. Delegation. Boundaries.

High-level leadership requires high-level clarity.

  1. What’s actually holding you back

You don’t need to read another book or watch a YouTube video, you need to find the bottleneck.

That one thing in your business or your personal life that’s creating friction, confusion, or drag.

Because once you find it and fix it?

Everything else gets lighter.

The business starts to move again.

And growth becomes fun instead of heavy.

Strip away the noise. Get clear on what matters.

And start to scale with intention, not exhaustion.

Hopefully getting clear on these two things can help you just as much as they’ve helped me and my coaching clients.

HOW TO BE A ROLE MODEL FATHER (WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE ANSWERS)

Being a father is one of the greatest blessings a man can have.

It’s also one of the most important responsibilities you’ll ever carry.

There’s no handbook for raising strong, capable young men in today’s world.

No step-by-step manual for helping your son develop discipline, confidence, and a solid moral compass.

And if you didn’t grow up with a strong male role model, you’re figuring this out in real time.

Look, I’ve been able to raise a pretty level-headed and confident son.

And looking back, I can tell you, you don’t need to be perfect.

You just need to be present, engaged, and committed to becoming the man you want your son to become.

Look, you don’t have to do this alone.

And you sure as hell don’t need to pretend you’ve got it all figured out.

If you’re trying to lead your son the right way, but feel unsure at times, that’s normal. 

Here are 3 simple things that helped me become a better father, and they might help you:

  1. Ask Real Men for Real Advice

If you see a man raising a strong son, ask him how.

Not Instagram advice. Real life.

“Hey, I respect how you show up for your boy. Got any lessons you’ve learned the hard way?”

That one question can open a door to years of wisdom.

  1. Read What Most Dads Won’t

You don’t have to guess your way through fatherhood.

Three books that helped shape how I raise my son:

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge

The Way of Men by Jack Donovan

Raising a Modern Day Knight by Robert Lewis

That last one is what inspired me to create the Squire Program.

Because boys don’t become men just by getting older.

They become men when their fathers lead them there.

  1. Stop Doing It Alone

You’re not meant to carry this alone.

Find men who are also committed to raising strong, resilient young leaders.

Men who call each other up, not out.

If you’re reading this, you’re already doing more than most.

You give a sh!t. And that matters.

Your son doesn’t need a flawless dad.

He needs a father who’s all-in. Who’s willing to grow. Who leads from the front.

So keep going.

Show him what strength looks like.

Show him what consistency looks like.

Show him what being a man really means.

You got this.
