In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I break down a simple truth I live by every day. Attitude is the foundation. Enthusiasm is the expression. When I move with purpose even on the mornings I feel stiff, tired, and anything but motivated, my actions create the energy I need. People read my face, my voice, my posture, and they respond to what I carry. If I choose purpose, others feel it and follow it. Introduction I did not wake up inspired. My back hurt. My shoulder was tight. I shuffled to the bathroom like a slow old man. Then I walked into the gym and a guy told me I always move with purpose. That compliment reminded me of the standard I set for myself. I do not wait for motivation. I act first. The energy shows up after. Body Awareness creates advantage I know eyes are on me. Clients, team, family, even strangers at the gym read my body language. They decide how far to push, whether to trust, and if they want to work with me based on what I show. When I smile, stand tall, and speak with conviction, I transmit certainty. Certainty moves deals forward. Action before motivation I never count on feeling ready. I get moving and let the movement warm up my mind. Action builds motivation. Motivation builds inspiration. Then I stack more action. That cycle is how I keep momentum, even when my body hurts or my schedule is heavy. Enthusiasm is a skill Enthusiasm is not fake. It is a decision to express what I believe. Shoulders back. Eye contact. Strong handshake. Clear tonality. Words that lead. I do this with my family so they can believe in me. I do it with clients so they can make confident decisions. If I carry worry, they mirror worry. If I carry certainty, they mirror certainty. Lead the room with your presence At the gym I skip every other stair. At the coffee shop Carla and I visit, we are met with smiles and service because we bring the same energy. People respond to the way you enter a space. Move like you have somewhere to be and something to build. Smile first. It opens doors. Say you are the best and then deliver Big claims force big delivery. When I say I market the best, negotiate the best, and deliver the best, I give my subconscious direct orders. Then I back it up with preparation, presence, and follow through. Clients already believe you are the best when they call you. Do not talk them out of it by being timid, worried, or slow. Protect client experience with your tone Problems happen. Appraisals come in low. Inspections get messy. Your job is not to transfer panic. Your job is to take on the worry and lead with solutions. Calm tone. Clear path. People want to feel they made the right decision when they chose you. Practical cues to switch on enthusiasm Smile before you call. Stand up when you negotiate. Use your hands when you explain. Nod to confirm understanding. Keep your voice steady. Dress with intention. If you feel yourself fading, lean your shoulders forward and let your body pull your mind into motion. Forward momentum beats hesitation. Conclusion Attitude sets your standard. Enthusiasm shows the world your standard. Stop waiting to feel ready. Take the action that moves you. Smile with purpose. Speak with conviction. Walk like you mean it. When you do, people feel safe making decisions around you. That is leadership. That is how you produce. Reader Questions Where in your day do you usually wait for motivation, and what action can you take first to spark it instead Think about your last client meeting. What did your face, tone, and posture communicate before you said a word What bold claim about your service are you willing to make today, and what specific action will you take to back it up Notable Quotes Attitude is the foundation and enthusiasm is the expression. Do not wait for motivation. Take the action and let the action create the energy. Clients already believe you are the best or they would not have called. Do not talk them out of it. Follow A.Z.

Lance Coffman returns to Inspector Toolbelt Talk to deliver a masterclass on the current state of commercial property inspections and why it remains an exceptional opportunity for inspectors looking to diversify their business.While residential markets have struggled over the past two years, commercial inspections continue to thrive. Unlike residential inspections that depend almost entirely on real estate transactions, commercial inspectors serve a diverse clientele including current building owners, maintenance teams, portfolio managers, REITs, and attorneys. This diversity creates stability regardless of market conditions, as commercial property owners consistently need expertise to either make money or avoid losing it.One of the most critical success factors Lance emphasizes is creating a dedicated commercial inspection identity. "Commercial leads go to your home inspection website, get shot in the face, dragged into the woods, and buried in a 10-foot deep hole," he explains colorfully. Commercial clients want specialists, not generalists, and perceive tremendous value in a dedicated commercial inspection service. This perception justifies the substantially higher fees - often thousands or tens of thousands of dollars compared to residential's typical $500 range.The commercial landscape continues evolving with several hot trends. Data centers are booming due to AI expansion, while former office buildings are being repurposed into multifamily housing as remote work changes demand patterns. Churches, schools, government buildings, and small business properties remain consistently strong sectors. Lance recommends setting up Google Alerts to monitor commercial real estate movements in your region and identify emerging opportunities.Rather than attempting to master every commercial property type, successful inspectors find their niche. This specialization allows them to build deep expertise and confidence when consulting with business leaders - a critical skill since commercial inspection is fundamentally consultative rather than merely technical. The fourth quarter presents unique opportunities when businesses plan their annual budgets, making it prime time to demonstrate how preventative inspections save money.For those interested in making the transition to commercial work, resources like CCPIA provide vital education, coaching, and community. Lance hosts the "Staying Smart in CRE" podcast and weekly coaching calls to help inspectors navigate this lucrative but different world. The commercial inspection market remains what Lance calls "the golden age" - comparable to residential inspections in the early 2000s when competition was low and opportunity abundant.Ready to elevate your inspection business? The commercial market awaits those willing to position themselves as true building consultants rather than just inspectors.Check out our home inspection app at www.inspectortoolbelt.comNeed a home inspection website?

In this episode, we chat with Patrick Thévoz, the co-founder and CEO of Flyability, and Michael Blake is the Product Manager at the company, who are a Swiss company dedicated to making the world's infrastructure safer and more efficient through innovative drone technology. The company has developed cutting-edge solutions that enable safe and efficient data collection in inaccessible and dangerous environments, serving over 1500 customers worldwide. In today's episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of drone technology in mining with the team from Flyability. We're joined by Patrick and Mike, who bring technical depth and real-world experience to the table. From the capabilities and limitations of Flyability's Elios 3 drone to its growing adoption across mines worldwide, we unpack how this tech is transforming underground inspections. We'll explore what it's like to deploy the drone on-site, the kind of data it delivers, and how it fits into existing mining workflows. Plus, we tackle the bigger picture of what drives mines to adopt these solutions, and where this technology is heading next, including the role of AI and autonomy in mining's digital future. KEY TAKEAWAYS The use of drones in mining significantly enhances safety by reducing the need for human inspections in dangerous areas.  The Elios 3 drone is equipped with various sensors, including LiDAR, thermal cameras, and ultrasonic thickness sensors, allowing for comprehensive data collection. It can create high-density point clouds and perform detailed inspections, which are crucial for mining operations. Flyability's technology is already being utilised by numerous mining companies worldwide, with a significant presence in regions like Canada, South Africa, and Latin America BEST MOMENTS "We started the business as a pure robotics play, pure hardware play, and gradually we started adding more and more sensors on board the machine." "The drone itself takes around five minutes to set up. It's very, very fast." "We estimate we're probably 1% of what could be done with this technology that is done currently. So, you know, growth, growth, growth."

There's a lot to be stressed about right now. We're seeing the dissolution of our democratic norms and ideals before our very eyes.But extremists don't want us thinking about democracy. They want us thinking about the 5 trans kids who wanted to play soccer this year.Just so far this year, over 900 anti-trans bills are under consideration across the country. The majority apply to kids, particularly in school. Some of the laws are frankly terrifying, like one in Florida that requires genital inspections for any kid suspected of being trans. Genital. Inspections. Of Kids.But even anti-trans organizations can't find more than five trans kids playing on girls' sports teams. And at the college level, NCAA president Charlie Baker said that there are fewer than 10 transgender athletes who currently compete in college sports. That's less than 0.002 percent!There's a lot of well-meaning concern for trans kids out there, but doctors are not giving children gender-affirming surgery. A Harvard study in 2019 found zero cases of gender surgery in kids under the age of 12. And for the small number of teenagers who were given surgery (2.1 per 100,000 teens), the vast majority are breast reductions for boys who aren't trans. 97% of gender-affirming surgeries on minors are for boys who were born as boys and identify as boys and just want a smaller chest so they can continue to feel like boys.Somehow that statistic rarely comes up when politicians are out there making speeches and passing bills against trans kids. By scaring people with fake information, politicians can drum up support while passing laws that actually harm Americans – not just trans kids, but all of us.If you're feeling burned out on bad news, or even burned out on empathy, we understand. But this Pride Month, we have to let trans kids know we're paying attention and we care.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.
