Most of what I actually know, are not taught in a classroom.

Where did your best lessons come from?

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

On Chris's podcast I admitted something I'm not proud of:

for years I put my family dead last. Told myself the kids were too small to remember.

Turns out "they're small" was never an excuse. Those are the years you don't get back.

Family first now 👇

5/ You can rebuild money, businesses, almost anything. Time with people isn't one of them

A few things I wish someone told me at 25 🧵

4/ Nobody remembers the deadline you hit. Your kids remember the night you came home.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Told Chris the part most important part of my story:

I built a business, lost it to something I didn't see coming, and rebuilt Front Range Home Services from zero.

Starting over on purpose is harder than starting the first time.

The lesson that took me way too long to learn 👇

What actually moves you forward most?

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

what did you almost replace but didn't?

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Half my job is talking people out of replacing things that just need someone who knows how to fix them.

Floors. Cabinets. Sometimes whole houses.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Most "difficult clients" I've met were just people who hadn't heard back yet.

Return the call. Half the problem disappears.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Tradespeople, be honest. The hardest part of the job is:

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Nobody remembers who actually made the mistake.

They remember whose name was on it.

That's not pressure. That's just what it means to be responsible for something.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Everybody's tired by Friday.

The trick is being proud of what made you tired throughout the week.

Here is to a good start to the week!

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Progress rarely looks like progress while you're in it.

I've rebuilt enough to know the slow, quiet, unglamorous stretch is usually where the real work is happening.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Honest question: what's something you believed at 30 that you've completely changed your mind about?

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

Funny thing about hitting rock bottom: it's the first time you find out what you actually stand on.

[Casey Fabling @caseyfabling]

A few things I wish someone told me at 30:

- Losing everything isn't the end of you
- The people who stay are the whole game
- Being present beats being busy
- You can rebuild. More than once
