"Getting Back to Basics: Reclaiming What Truly Matters"
" THIS IS A TRUTH POST FOR ME ๐๐ผ "
It's a strange feeling, being let go from something you poured your heart into. Especially when the values you held dear โ client well-being, genuine connection, and frankly, family โ got overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. That's exactly what happened when my vision for a client-first landscaping company clashed with their insatiable hunger for the bottom line.
My priority was always clear: supporting my wife through her battle with cancer and being present for our three kids. That meant being available for appointments, being a true family man, and finding a balance where work served life, not the other way around. They chose money. I chose my family. And ultimately, I was fired for it.
But sometimes, getting knocked down is the universe's way of telling you to get back to your roots. This isn't about doing something wrong; it's about humbling myself, shedding the corporate greed, and rediscovering the genuine engagement and joy that first drew me to this work.
Now, I'm starting from the ground up, doing my own thing. It's about remembering why I loved landscaping in the first place โ the honest work, the satisfied clients, and the ability to build something beautiful with my own hands. More importantly, it's about building a life where I'm truly present for my family, finding happiness and enjoyment in every small victory, and proving that you don't need to chase endless wealth to find true fulfillment.
This is my journey back to basics, back to genuine purpose, and back to myself.
