S4 E13: Business Stages: Pt. 2 Running Man Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Impact Without Limits, the Karmie brothers continue their Business Stages series with the ‘Running Man’ Stage.

A "Running Man" is typically a one-person operation where the business is synonymous with the owner's name, like “Joe the Plumber” or “Mary the Landscaper.” Though they might have helpers or part-time assistance, the business only functions when that owner is actively working. They often trade time for money, hold tight to their earnings, and avoid investing in scalable growth. This model allows for control, flexibility, and even high income, but it can also lead to exhaustion, burnout, and limited growth.

Dale and Brian reflect on their own experience in this stage and share how many businesses — an estimated 85%, according to their unofficial-but-usually-accurate numbers — get stuck here. While there’s nothing wrong with being a ‘Running Man’, the key takeaway is knowing whether you're there by default or by choice, and being honest about whether it’s sustainable for the life and business you want to build.

Tune in to hear how to recognize this stage and decide what’s next for your business journey.

Episode Highlights:

What is the ‘Running Man’ Stage?
Why do so many stay in this stage?
How to identify this stage.
Potential pitfalls of the ‘Running Man’ Stage.
Next Level Risk.

In this episode, Dale and Brian share another powerful axiom that’s shaped their entrepreneurial journey: Create the Need - Then Fill it.

Too often in business, there’s a temptation to have every system, piece of equipment, and answer in place before taking the first step. But as they’ve learned firsthand, waiting for perfection can stall progress and even drain resources.

From selling projects in Albuquerque before they had a formal business structure to the costly lesson of building out a full operation before the demand existed, Dale and Brian reflect on real stories that show the value of moving forward with confidence—even in the unknown.

Dale and Brian encourage listeners to focus on creating need, and to trust that the solutions can be built along the way. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for all the answers, this conversation just might be the nudge you need to get moving.

Episode Highlights:

Creating the need.
You don’t have to have all of the answers to get started.
Focus on the demand.

Conflict is part of doing business—but how you respond can either make things worse or turn things around completely. In this episode of Impact Without Limits, Dale and Brian unpack ‘Dale’s 3 D’s’—Disarm, Defend, Define—and explain why the order of those steps makes all the difference.

They share real stories, including one about a frustrated dealer and another about an unhappy customer, showing how simply listening and letting someone feel heard can shift the entire conversation.

S4 E6: Always Take the Check Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Impact Without Limits, Brian and Dale unpack one of ForeverLawn’s most powerful axioms: Always Take the Check.

What started as a tense sales moment—when Dale was warned not to take a customer’s check after hearing news of their parent company's bankruptcy—turned into a defining moment for the brothers. The customer insisted. Dale accepted. And in doing so, a philosophy was born.

But this isn’t about chasing every opportunity blindly. It’s about calculated courage—saying yes when the path forward isn’t fully clear, but your integrity is. It’s about believing you can figure it out after you’ve stepped out in faith.

From building a sports field in the Bronx without the people, the plan, or the experience… to signing their first dealer before they even had a dealer agreement—Brian and Dale share real moments when risk collided with opportunity, and the only way forward was through.

So whether you’re in business, leadership, or life—this episode is your reminder to stay in motion—even when you don’t have all the answers.

Episode Highlights:

The sales call.
Always take the check.
Be willing to figure it out.
Don’t get hung up in analysis paralysis.

Show notes

In this episode, Dale and Brian dive into the axiom "Don't eat your seed corn," a powerful metaphor for long-term growth in both business and life. They share personal stories from their early entrepreneurial days, explaining how they chose to reinvest every bit of early profit back into their business—even at the expense of personal comfort.

By resisting the temptation of instant gratification, they prioritized long-term success over short-term reward. The episode explores the idea of treating your business like a “baby” to nurture rather than a “cow” to milk—emphasizing the importance of reinvestment, delayed gratification, and building relational capital.

Whether you’re growing a business, a relationship, or your own personal development, this episode encourages a mindset focused on the future harvest.

Episode Highlights:

What is seed corn?
Instant gratification vs. delayed gratification.
Are you adding value or extracting value in relationships?
