At Mr. Clean Fix, we talk a lot about building — homes, decks, kitchens, spaces that people love. But the truth is, everything you build on the outside begins with what’s happening on the inside.

Your mindset is the foundation.
Your focus is the framework.
Your habits are the tools that shape everything that follows.

When your thoughts are aligned, clear, and strong, the way you move through life changes. You make sharper decisions. You handle challenges with steadiness. You see opportunity instead of obstacles.

This week, take a look at what you’re feeding your mind.
Are you surrounding yourself with people who bring out your best?
Are you learning from those who’ve built something real?
Are you giving your attention to growth, not gossip — progress, not problems?

Your mental hygiene is your maintenance plan for success.
Feed your mind with good information.
Keep your goals front and center.
Let discipline, not distraction, guide your day.

Because when your mind is strong, your work is stronger.
When your attitude is steady, your vision grows clearer.
And when you take care of your mindset — intentionally, daily, uncompromisingly — your entire life begins to rise to that same level.

Here’s to a week of clarity, growth, and purpose.
Let’s build something great — starting within.

There’s something special about Fridays in construction. It’s the day to reflect on the week, see the progress made, and plan for what’s next. This Friday is no exception—we’ve got milestones worth celebrating.

Garage & Patio: Final Inspection Coming Up

Our garage and patio project is gearing up for its final inspection early next week. From framing to drywall, from roof to finishing touches—every step has been moving us closer to the finish line. It’s exciting to see all the planning, teamwork, and craftsmanship coming together.

Deck Progress: Boards Taking Shape

Over at another site, the deck is really taking form. Board by board, the outdoor living space is shaping up beautifully. Standing on it now, you can already picture summer evenings, barbecues, and quiet mornings with coffee in hand. The transformation is always rewarding to witness.

The Secret Room Desk: Almost Green

Inside, the “secret room” is in the home stretch of one of its centerpiece features: the custom desk. It’s nearly all the way green now, and once complete, it’ll be the biggest, most luxurious desk we’ve ever built. Patience, precision, and attention to detail are paying off—soon, a one-of-a-kind result will be revealed.

Friday Motivation

In construction, like in life, progress isn’t always flashy. It’s inspections, sanding, and the steady click of boards fitting into place. But stack enough of those small wins together, and you get something lasting.

Here’s your reminder this Friday:

• Celebrate progress, no matter how small.

• Keep pushing, even when the work feels tedious.

• Embrace the grind—it’s building something bigger.

👉 Here’s to wrapping up the week strong and stepping into the weekend with momentum. Excited for the garage and patio final inspection early next week!

Yesterday, I was reading an email from Andy Frisella—and man, it lit a fire under me. His words were raw, direct, and powerful. The kind of truth that hits you right between the eyes and makes you take a hard look at yourself. Naturally, I had to share it with James and perhaps if you’re reading this you needed to see it too.

Because here’s the reality: life doesn’t play fair.

It’s going to hit you hard. It’s going to knock you down, bloody your nose, and test you in ways that break most people into a million pieces. But here’s the thing—you’re not most people.

You’ve already proven that.

You’re still here.

After everything you’ve faced—every storm, every setback, every sleepless night—you’re still standing. Still moving. Still going. Still pushing forward. And that alone means you’re stronger than anything that’s tried to stop you.

The truth is, you were built for this. Built for the fight.

Not everyone is. Some people crumble when the weight gets too heavy. But not you. You were built to carry more, to outlast, to outwork, and to out-bleed every obstacle in your way.

That’s not hype—it’s a fact.

Because if you look back at your life, you’ll see the proof in every scar, every lesson, every time you thought you couldn’t keep going but did anyway. You’ve already shown yourself what you’re made of.

Now it’s about remembering it.

Remember who you are.

You are not average. You are not weak. You are not defined by what’s happened to you—you are defined by the fact that you’re still standing, still swinging, still grinding.

You are a force of nature.

And yeah, it might be hard right now. Really hard. But that doesn’t mean you can’t handle it. Because the reality is, you’ve already handled worse. You’ve already walked through fire and made it out.

So what now?

You get back in the game. You fight back. You refuse to quit—because quitting was never an option.

This is the only way forward. The only way to become who you were meant to be.

You were built for this fight. And you’re not done yet.

In both life and business, the journey is often filled with obstacles, setbacks, and unexpected challenges. It's during these times that the virtue of persistence becomes our greatest ally, propelling us forward even when the road ahead seems daunting. At Mr. Clean Fix, our remodeling company embodies the spirit of persistence, continuously striving to overcome hurdles and achieve success. Join us as we explore the importance of persistence in life and business, drawing inspiration from Napoleon Hill's timeless wisdom on the subject.

Persistence: A Key to Success

Napoleon Hill, in his iconic book "Think and Grow Rich," dedicated an entire chapter to the principle of persistence. He emphasized that persistence is the key to unlocking one's potential and achieving greatness in any endeavor. Hill believed that those who persist in the face of adversity, setbacks, and failures are the ones who ultimately succeed.

Quotes from "Think and Grow Rich"

"Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success." - Napoleon Hill

This quote highlights the importance of persistence, along with patience and hard work, in achieving success. At Mr. Clean Fix, we understand that success doesn't happen overnight. It requires dedication, perseverance, and a willingness to keep going even when the going gets tough.

"Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do." - Napoleon Hill

This quote reminds us that setbacks and failures are inevitable on the path to success. However, it's how we respond to these challenges that ultimately determines our destiny. Instead of giving up in the face of defeat, we must persist and continue moving forward, learning from our mistakes and growing stronger with each obstacle we overcome.
