"I can't get my people to own anything." I hear that line more than almost any other. Owners say it like it's a hiring problem. It's rarely a hiring problem.

"I can't get my people to own anything." That's the most common complaint I hear from owners online and in coaching calls. It's usually followed by a list of everything the owner had to catch, fix, or redo last week.

75% of small business owners say rising costs hit them hard in 2025. Most didn't raise prices to match. They ate the margin instead. I want you to sit with that for a second. Not because it's bad math. Because it's bad leadership.

Every owner I coach eventually says some version of the same thing. "This generation doesn't want to work." I've heard it from a martial arts gym owner losing front desk staff every quarter.
