    Yep mowing lawns is stupid. I watch guys been mowing lawns for 10 years while I started doing the math sit on a job site for 1 to 3 days and make 5k to 7k versus cutting 10 to 30 yards for $50 to $75 a yard and paying for gas for equipment, truck, and maintenance. Guys come to me and ask how I blew up so fast in a short amount of time. I do sales in landscaping and make more money doing that now lol

    Just came across your video randomly researching bidding techniques and factors for interlocking to add to my list of services as a " jack of all trades "
    I am only 25 and have quite literally just begun my journey as a general contractor, as an arborist by trade.
    The first $2000 job I got when I was 21 with my mentor at the time for tree work changed my life and mindset forever. I dabbled with the industry a little further until I was 23 then I realized I should be making money for myself and not for the government AND someone else's company.
    I was making my commercial employer over 250k a month in revenue as a production utility arborist. Since I had quit and gone through some personal hardships. I have now rebooted my initial efforts into starting the small landscaping business. Within my first 3 weeks I have already retrieved 25+ leads with 10 jobs secured profiting me more than $3000 in my first few weeks of putting my 110% of effort into it with zero money spent on marketing.
    My projected annual revenue is roughly $70k within the first 90 days worked. I plan to invest into marketing now with the profits I have secured as well as more equipment to further scale my startup into a six figure small business within the next year.
    I normally don't give my two cents on youtube but after hearing you and your take on it it, I couldn't relate more and you inspired me to share the story f my startup to provide others in a similar situation or mindset to pull the trigger on their gut instincts and achieve the lifestyle they dream of. You are right, as someone who has always given EXCUSES for why I am not where I wanted to be at a specific age; That is why, I always made excuses rather than going out and doing it.
    Thank you for your insight and stories of how you began and for creating this video, it has given me the inspiration to share my own story.
    To a like minded, young and ambitious entrepreneur, cheers.

      @@gm4ulkill nope, not yet. He's figured out that the big jobs are Redwood city, Menlo Park area...I didn't like the commute, so stayed mostly in San Jose.
      We do superior quality work and charge for that. We don't slap $100k jobs in fast..we just finished a $145k job : 2 guys took 7 months. The job came out spectacular. I was able to bonus both my guys $5k cash because of the small crew and tiny overhead.
      You have to have young energy to do what Applewood is doing. I'm older and much more laid back. We aren't in a hurry on any job. But I also don't have his $7.6k payroll weeks either, nor any payments on equipment or trucks. I can afford to take our sweet time.

    I charge $180 for a "24×"24 box tree. I've found if you over charge for too many items, you end up unemployed.
    It's tricky to bid because we don't know what our competitors charge. For the record any townhouse job or any job that requires your own trailers to bring in and stage materials, I refer the clients to your company and/or LaHoaysas.
    I got rid of all the in-house heavy equipment, dumps, flatbed 20 years ago. I don't need the storage yard, no mechanic fees, no extra insurance. My entire company is one crew of 3 workers and one F150 pickup truck. We do one job at a time. SK750 rented and delivered, hauling - rent a bin. Factor it into the job costs. We don't spend time driving around. All time is spent on the job. I don't make a million a year, that's the trade off.
    Tigran is phenomenal !!! Love watching him killing it. Gives me inspiration. I'm old and no longer have his energy. But my company is established, we have 42 years of references. And I'm doing OK.
    Keep being awesome Tigran.
