Today let's take a deep dive into a concept I briefly spoke about on a Fullerton Unfiltered episode back in February – the Johari Window model.
Now, if you haven't heard of this, no sweat. The Johari Window is like your secret weapon for understanding yourself and how you interact with others. It's split into four parts, each shedding light on different aspects of who you are and how you operate:

As spring begins to bloom and we emerge from the unpredictable weather of winter, it's a perfect time to pause and reflect on our journey as lawntrepreneurs. Amidst the fluctuations from freezing cold to hints of spring warmth, it's easy to get lost in the daily grind and lose sight of our initial motivations for starting our businesses.
Just as spring brings new life to lawns and landscapes, it's also an opportunity for us to breathe new life into our entrepreneurial spirit. During the winter months, I had the chance to step away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a family vacation in Florida.

As lawntrepreneurs, you've likely encountered moments where you doubted your abilities, questioned your accomplishments, or felt like you didn't belong in the entrepreneurial world. It's a common struggle, but one that shouldn't define your journey or limit your success.
