Welcome to the Monday Minute, brought to you by Podium — your weekly reset to lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention.Most dealers are great at setting goals. But the strongest operators? They're just as intentional about what they refuse to do.In this episode, Luke and Jeff introduce the concept of anti-goals — the strategic boundaries that protect your dealership from the mistakes that sink stores. From sketchy deals and bad inventory buys to compliance shortcuts and cash flow blind spots, anti-goals act as guardrails that keep you from making the decisions that look tempting in the moment but cost you everything in the long run.They break down how to identify your anti-goals, how to prioritize them based on what could hurt you most, and how to build a simple decision filter so you're never caught second-guessing in the heat of the moment. Growth is great — but growth without discipline and culture will destroy what you're building.
