  • The ONE QUESTION You Must Ask Yourself When You're "Having a Bad Day"

    The ONE QUESTION You Must Ask Yourself When You're "Having a Bad Day"
    Jan 12 2026
    In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith delivers a brutally freeing mindset shift for 2026: if you're stuck replaying a victim story—"this is unfair," "they mistreated me," "why me?"—you need to snap out of it fast by asking one question: Who cares? And the raw truth is… nobody does (and that's exactly why it's powerful). He shares a real moment at 3:30 AM cleaning up dog vomit and realizing no one is watching, no one is validating the struggle—so he cuts the negative emotion, drops the story, handles it, and moves on. Keith challenges you to stop whining, stop complaining, and stop dumping your problems on your partner, family, or social media—not because suffering isn't real, but because your energy is your responsibility, and your future success depends on how quickly you can become more conscious, more aware, and more constructive about what you carry and what you spread. "If you're telling yourself a victim story, you need to get out of it immediately." – Keith Kalfas In This Episode, You'll Learn: The one question that can snap you out of victim mode immediately Why "nobody cares" can be the most peaceful realization you'll ever have The difference between processing pain vs performing pain How victim stories quietly sabotage your success, relationships, and energy Why your emotional energy is your most valuable asset in 2026 How to stop being a "Debbie Downer" without suppressing your feelings A more constructive way to deal with suffering without dumping it on everyone If you want to be more successful in 2026, you can't drag old emotional patterns into the new year. The episode challenges you to: ✅ Drop the stories ✅ Become more conscious ✅ Protect your energy ✅ Stop complaining as a lifestyle ✅ Bring better energy to your partner, family, and community Because your mood doesn't just affect you — it affects everyone around you.

  • Why 35% Outdoor Service Business Won't Open Their Doors in 2026 | The Economy is in TROUBLE

    Why 35% Outdoor Service Business Won't Open Their Doors in 2026 | The Economy is in TROUBLE
    Dec 30 2025
    What does it actually take to build a multi-million-dollar service business, stay sane through recessions, and still love the work after 26 years? In this episode, Steve DHondt (PMS Brick Pavers) invites us into his shop, his mindset, and his faith-driven approach to leadership and growth. Steve runs a $6–7M outdoor living and hardscaping company with 60+ employees—and he's calling it now: a massive wave of home-service businesses won't survive past 2026 if they don't get lean, efficient, and intentional. We talk about debt, consolidation, leadership, equipment, family trade-offs, and how to believe in yourself when things get heavy and messy. "I'm not rich — my business is. I get paid a salary like everyone else. Because when I don't choke my business with my personal lifestyle, it can keep growing, keep providing, and keep taking care of the people in it." – Steve Dhondt In this episode, we cover: Why 35% of home-service businesses may not open in 2026 What smart debt vs pride debt looks like in real life Consolidating services so your team can actually win How AI + software automation keeps small shops competitive Leading through recession without panicking What "efficiency" really means in the field Missing dinners, guilt, family tension—and how to handle it Growing past the five-year itch when you're burned out Equipment strategy: buy cheap vs buy once and win on efficiency How Steve thinks about faith, fear, and confidence Key Takeaways Efficiency Beats Ego: The nicest personal truck doesn't pay the bills. Revenue-producing assets do. In a tightening economy, upgrade equipment, systems, and software—not your image. If it doesn't increase safety, productivity, or profit, it's optional. Simplify or Get Burned Out: Stop offering every service under the sun. Consolidate, specialize, and systemize what you do every day. Random jobs create chaos, weak crews, and nonstop fires. Simplicity scales—complexity drains your life. People Are the Real Business: You don't just build patios—you build people. Invest in your team's tools, training, and lives outside of work. When employees feel supported and trusted (even allowed to fail), they take better care of customers than any owner ever could Connect with Steve Dhondt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steveisalwaysright/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-dhondt-534b23166/ Website: https://www.weretheguys.com/about-us Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas Resources and Websites: Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources 🙋♂️Get My Free Landscaping Business Startup Video Series Here👇 Here https://www.keithkalfas.com/Landscaping-Series Landscaping Course https://keith-kalfas.mykajabi.com/store/8bFERMcs LANDSCAPING BUSINESS How to Guide: https://www.keithkalfas.com/16 Get Jobber: https://getjobber.com/im/ambassador-referral/?gspk=a2VpdGhrYWxmYXM4NTIx&gsxid=Rs6pwtznLDcs Get Ballard: https://www.ballard-inc.com/ Easy Budgeting Blueprint: keithkalfas.com/budget Smartphone Video Creation Guide: Keithkalfas.com/smartphone Identifying Your Superpower: Keithkalfas.com/superpower Become An influencer And Monetize Your Expertise: https://www.keithkalfas.com/influence Multiple Ways to Monetize: https://www.keithkalfas.com/multipleways LevelUp Your Landscaping Business to $100K and beyond: https://www.keithkalfas.com/LEVELUP The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance

  • From Rock Bottom to Small Business Success: The Inspiring Story of Angel Ellis

    From Rock Bottom to Small Business Success: The Inspiring Story of Angel Ellis
    Dec 8 2025
    In this episode, Keith welcomes Angel Ellis, a landscaper and small-business owner who transformed his life from hardship and incarceration into purpose, stability, and entrepreneurship. Angel shares his emotional turning point, how he rebuilt his identity, restored family relationships, and found the clarity to build a thriving landscaping company from scratch. The conversation explores practical business lessons—starting a service-based company legally, using local resources, transitioning from a job to full-time business ownership, staying aligned in marriage, and keeping priorities straight at home. Angel emphasizes discipline, personal responsibility, momentum, and the power of faith when overcoming fear, roadblocks, and uncertainty. This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs in landscaping, home services, or blue-collar trades who want motivation, resilience, business clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. "Now we only work Monday through Thursday by choice to have the weekends, more time for the wifey for life, have more time for ministry, serve King Jesus, and it's just awesome." – Angel Ellis Topics Covered: How Angel rebuilt his life and launched a landscaping business from scratch Practical steps to legally start and structure a lawn-care or home-service company Transitioning from a day job into full-time landscaping with momentum and confidence Work–life balance in the lawn-care industry, prioritizing marriage, home, and well-being Scaling a small landscaping or service business with integrity, discipline, and consistency How mindset, resilience, and community support drive long-term growth in lawn care and entrepreneurship Key Takeaways Business Starts With Simple Action: Don't overcomplicate the launch of a landscaping or home-service company. You don't need a perfect plan to begin — just the willingness to ask questions, call the city or county, follow the legal basics, and put boots on the ground. Momentum doesn't come from theory, it comes from motion. The moment you commit and start saying yes to real work, the business begins to open up faster than you imagined. Don't Stay Half In and Half Out: Holding onto a job while trying to grow a lawn-care business can keep you stuck at half speed. Once Angel finally released the safety net and went all-in on his company, the work surged and his confidence skyrocketed. Entrepreneurship rewards commitment — when you're no longer split between a paycheck and a purpose, you create the urgency, energy, and freedom that full-time ownership requires. Private Peace Fuels Public Growth: A thriving landscaping business isn't just built in the field — it's built at home. Alignment in marriage, healthy prioritization, and peace inside the household create sharper decision-making, clearer leadership, and the emotional bandwidth needed to grow. You never want public success and private collapse. A stable home is the competitive advantage most entrepreneurs overlook.
