At Bug Bux Con 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona, Mat Roger from Lizard SEM delivered a wake-up call to businesses: the digital marketing landscape is shifting—fast—and those who don’t adapt are doomed. "There’s a low rumbling in the distance. The wave is on the way," he warned, highlighting the unstoppable rise of AI and Google’s latest changes. The old playbook of throwing money at ads is dead; now, it’s an all-out bidding war where businesses are fighting themselves and watching ad costs soar. SEO isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential. Ignore it, and your visibility will plummet while your budget burns. Smart businesses are already ahead, leveraging SEO and boosting Local Service Ads (LSAs) sixfold to play the long game. Lazy ones? They’re bleeding cash, scrambling as reviews vanish and AI takes the reins. Google’s not suggesting evolution—it’s demanding it. So, where do you stand: adapting or sinking?

At Bug Bux Con '25 in Phoenix, Arizona, Bradley Mortensen from RepCard exposed the four 'bugs' silently gnawing at your business—and he brought the solutions to squash them. Picture this: You’re distracted by endless phone notifications and social media (Dopamine Distortion), struggling to steer your family and team without a clear path (Anti-Focus Family), chasing quick wins that leave you fragile (Instant Gratification), or feeling buried by the fast-moving AI Revolution. Sound familiar? These forces are real, and they’re holding you back. But Brad didn’t just name the problems—he handed you the tools to fight back: Connection: Ditch the phone and reconnect with your crew. Core Values: Set a rudder with a vacation calendar that balances work and life. Courage: Celebrate growth over instant results—why did you push through? Capability: Embrace the future by learning to learn, even as knowledge doubles monthly. This isn’t just a talk; it’s a game plan to protect your pest control business and thrive in 2025 and beyond. Which 'bug' is bugging you the most? Drop it in the comments—let’s debug it together!

Caught this gem from Allan Draper at Bug Bux Con 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona, and it’s been on repeat in our heads ever since: 'You won’t build wealth until you believe you’re worthy of it.' Think about it—how many of us grew up hearing stuff like 'money’s evil,' 'it doesn’t grow on trees,' or 'rich people are greedy'? Maybe it was a parent, a teacher, or that one uncle at every family gathering. Those old stories stick with us, quietly holding us back. But here’s the thing: Allan didn’t just drop a truth bomb and walk off. He showed us how to flip the script. At Bug Bux Con, surrounded by this incredible community—entrepreneurs, dreamers, doers—he laid out why believing in your worth is the first step to real financial freedom. It’s not about luck or handouts; it’s about rewriting those tired narratives we’ve been carrying. Imagine shedding that guilt or fear around money and stepping into a mindset where you know you deserve success. That’s the vibe we felt in Phoenix—electric, inspiring, possible. So, what’s your money story? The one that’s been playing in the background? Bug Bux Con 2025 wasn’t just a conference; it was a wake-up call to ditch the limits and start fresh. Allan’s got the roadmap—years of grit and wins to back it up—and he’s handing us the pen. Time to rewrite your story. Time to believe you’re worth it. Who’s with us? Drop your thoughts below—we're all ears!
