      You seem like a man of faith, remember even Moses had gotten advice from his father in law to delegate responsibilities to others. You got this buddy, I’ve been watching your growth, I saw you on another UA-cam channel like a year ago.
      You inspire me to bite the bullet and start my lawn care business that I’ve always wanted.

    Your profit is low because you’re paying guys to push mow lawns . You’re raking shrub waste instead of blowing it into the yard and picking it up with a zero turn with bagger unit . Time is money . Not trying to hate , but productivity is every thing .

    Great stuff everyone. Having great work ethic, being passionate and caring about your business so much makes it hard to trust others but once you have the right people youir business can really grow. When you try and do everything, you really just burn out and in the process you don't allow others to grow into good employees. It's hard but I think it's worth the risk to define roles and your systems.

    addressing your point…
    autonomous taxis in conjunction with a drop in ownership is an urbanist super goal
    it remains to be seen how that changes the world…
    think of last mile shipping with autonomous 4 wheel vehicles…
    literally reduces all driven miles and would increase market efficiency massively

    @spokanesfinestlawns8229 9 місяців тому +2

    Mike, so you recommend having the sales person also answer phones and emails? This is what we did this year and found lots of things drop through the cracks in the spring bc it was just too much for one person during the spring rush.
    My answer to this was to jump in an answer emails/texts from the office computer. But it did create some issues bc there was more than one person trying to resolve issues or answer questions and stuff would still fall through the cracks bc there wasn’t clarity.

    • @urbanrootslandscaping3874
      @urbanrootslandscaping3874 9 місяців тому

      Mikes advice to us was for me (sales person) drive to and write the estimates. The office person answers phones and emails and only forwards emails to me, if they can’t answer the question from clients. This frees more of my time up to focus on sales rather than jumping into operations or admin.

      My ops manager is well worth the investment, even if he doesn’t stay long-term. I’ve adopted the mentality that I will position the guys to learn everything they need to know, to succeed on their own, if that’s what they decide. The hope is that they will stay long enough to catapult our business to a new level. I don’t like the perspective of keeping my crew ignorant. This is an old-school, fear-based mentality.

    My Dad works way too much and I saw that and thought he's not getting rewarded for all the effort (still isn't) and I decided that I don't want that, I want to work for myself so I'll get more rewards (and more stress) and am vauled, in school and for years after I dreaded getting a job because all I associated jobs with was having no control in your life and being stuck forever

      It all depends on what market youre in and what youre after. We are in a smaller town around a smaller city about 100k people. The property values and local economy can only support x number of higher paying customers, y number of mid teir customers and then z number of budget people. You could definately service only to the higher tier customers but you would max out far before 1 million yearly revenue. It alld epends on what demographic you want to corner. Make sure the customer you are wanting to serve is well defined and you will get better and better at serving that customer until your margins are 20 +%
