A short YouTube monologue by Mike Andes describing his recent month managing multiple initiatives—Copilot growth, product sprints, franchisee content, platform revamps, and AI phone platform rollout—while emphasizing that entrepreneurs ultimately can only control their actions and the inputs into their businesses. The piece contrasts his heavy workload and accomplishments with the excuses of new business owners (e.g., lawn care startups).

This is the part of the challenge where people will come out in the comments and say how easy it was for me to do this. Let me remind everybody, while this challenge was going on, Copilot grew by over 40% in the past 30 days. We had two sprints at pay for Performance and released more features. I have 130 franchisees that depend on me to be able to create content for them every single day. In a Mastermind video that we do live questions, I made an extra video every single evening for Augusta Nation. We completely revamped landscape businesscourse.com and mbaforantrepreneurs.com every evening. I had about three to four different Zoom calls with different developers and we are rolling out an AI platform for answering phone calls at Command Center. All of that in the past month. If I'm able to do it while running all of those other things, what's the excuse someone else going to be when the only thing they're doing is starting their lawn care business and ultimately the only thing you can control in your business is their input.
