Episode 96: Industry Crossover - Brian Fullerton: Stop Making Excuses and Put in the Work
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google Podcasts, Youtube, or on your favorite Podcast platform.
This week we sat down with Brian Fullerton of Brian’s Lawn Maintenance and the Fullerton Unfiltered Podcast. Brian is doing some amazing things in the lawn maintenance space through his popular YouTube channel and now podcast. We wanted to have him on to share his story and talk about what it takes to be successful. This episode is a little more aggressive than normal for us, but it is the kind of episode we get fired up by and similar to podcasts that helped us in our careers. The common theme throughout the episode is that no successful person got there without putting in the work. Nothing great comes without the hustle and grind it took to get there. Wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey, whether that be 30 years in or just starting out this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
Brian started his lawn care and landscaping business back in April of 2007, with nothing more than a dream and a desire to accomplish more. Stuck in a dead-end job working for a fertilizer company, with little prospects for job advancement and no college degree to fall back on, he decided to go all-in with a business of his own. Safe to say the journey that followed would be one of victories and defeats, successes and failures. But through it all and despite the circumstances, he came out on top with a successful business of his own. Like Brian, you too can become successful by putting in the work. We hope you all are inspired by this one as much as we were!
