If this video doesn't motivate somebody to better themselves then nothing will. You make it seem so easy. I think people ( me included ) tend to over think things to where we convince ourselves they are out of reach.
TopNotchLawns Overthinking is so common. I find myself doing it and have to make a conscious effort to stop. How do you keep yourself from overthinking things?
I just try to take a step back and break things down like you talked about in your video. I was mainly referring to it holding people back. For example, I truly enjoy doing landscaping project and construction projects like you do but I tend to look at the project as a whole and thinking its too big to take on instead of dividing it into smaller groups and complete one task at a time. I believe this is something that has held me back. I think if a person can break things down into smaller categories and focus on one thing at a time it might give them the confidence they need in themselves to take on a big job whatever it may be.
TopNotchLawns Rock Solid advice. A very good way to keep yourself going when otherwise you might become overwhelmed. Thanks Brian!
I Love these video, where you break down the bids and profits on each job.
The video you made, knocking down that house was cool!
Can't wait to see some clips of more houses being leveled :)
Great Channel and Videos :)
Geek To Freak Fitness & Lawn Care Thanks Greg- your talk inspired me and motivated me. I Appreciated it.
Stan! Mate, I cant thank you enough. Ive completely changed my way of thinking compared to what i thought I knew..Ive restructured my own business to become more successful without it breaking my back. And umortunately ive been bed ridden for 4 days due to a back injury exposing water mains. Just when I thought I was about to give up you've completely changed me, god bless. Deadset lovin these vids. Keepem comin. 👍👍
The part where you ask what there budget is so you can provide the right solution is so simple, yet very informative. We fix a lot of messed up lawns. I am going to implement this strategy just because I believe it will help the customer and maximize our profits. Your videos are awesome. Thank you.
Myles Jenkins It took me years to figure out how to word that and make it sound right. I was really uncomfortable the first 10 or 20 times I tried it but then found the right way to word it so it comes out naturally.
I just have to say I absolutely love these videos very different from other channels!!!
I am a home remodeler. But i still watch ur vids becuz the concepts are similar. You speak as if it doesnt matter what the work is. Until i find a remodeler that makes vids like urs, u've got a student. Thanx Genadek
Thank you! :)
This is a man who knows his numbers! Awesome to see you evaluate and break everything down Stan.
PrimoLandscaping.ca If it helps I can put some more videos together focusing on numbers.
Stanley Genadek Landscape and Construction Business Pro I enjoy learning the structured and systematic approach you have to business. Any information would be very welcome!
PrimoLandscaping.ca Will do- I will try and get a few more bidding videos out there.
@@PrimoLandscaping yes these are great. I wish I had this when I started out. Had to learn from scratch. Fell on my face not charging enough.
Years later started listening and asking questions.
Keep teaching, I'm learning so much. Thank you.
0:11 I have a great idea for a product: The In-Home Meteorologist! It is an Eight sided die with labels "Sunny", "Partly cloudy", "Overcast", "Light rain", "Heavy Rain", "Thunderstorms", "Snow", and "Check the local forecast".
Guaranteed to be at least as accurate as your local meteorologist; every time. Summer in Arizona, Winter in Maine. I'll bet the top buyers will be news channels, at least then they have a 12.5% chance of accuracy!
Love all the input. It helps so much taking it all in and fixing things I have do wrong Your the man Stanley keep the vids coming!!!!!
You are an outstanding teacher, thank you! I’m a rookie landscaper and this perspective is so valuable.
Man I am so happy to hear you quoting off so quickly like that. you're probably one of the only ones on UA-cam who have enough balls to do it. And do it right. No stutter. you're selling to your customers who buy your landscaping and all the small contractors you the man Stan. That's exactly how I calculate my jobs. Although I don't do so much big Excavating and concrete work. But the fencing and paver work, retaining wall and other Landscaping. You can tell you know what you're talkin about. Do you time all your guys for each particular tasks so you can know exactly how much to charge in the future? I have found that to be the best way to figure out if I'm hitting my numbers consistently. Also l was wondering if you pay your guys a performance bonus if they finish the job or task as quickly as you had estimated.
Your videos are wonderful! I appreciate how effective you are at teaching. I love your confidence and your patience will fellow commenters. Excellent work!
It is helpful and the impossible thing now days is to find person like you that would share their idea of how make living with people!!!! Thanks I really appreciate it
Thank you!
hay Stanly, in regards to that rock removal hand job, you referred to a dumpster, and dump fees, I take it your referring to dump that rock at a land fill or someone who just needs fill, to buy rock is very costly for any landscape job, it cost more the pit run, top soil and so on, rock is paid though the nose, why would you just dump it, when you can take it back to your yard and stock pile it for a later job, in my 22 year landscaping, my handiest peace of equipment I build, was a ford F600 with a 7 yard dump box, were I made the 2 sides fold down in 1 inch pin, I installed a hydro boom on it that has a extend-a boom, I built a dump bin to hang on the end of the boom cables, the guys hall the rocks and stone out to the street, back Laine, loaded them into the dump bin, when the bin was full, it was lifted up and into the dump box and dumped in, and repeat until truck box was full, the loads are haled to my farm were it is sorted and stock pile ready for the job its needed on, its 100% profit, as we are paid to remove the rock, paid to hall it away, the rock is FREE, the job comes up for that rock or stone, its sold at going rates, we charge to hall the rock from my yard to the new job, paid to install it, I call this gravy money, yet your haling it to a dump, your throwing away thousands o dollars in lost profits clear profits, rock can be used over and over man, some time ya we have to blast it with our wajax fire pump, that put out 300 psi to clean it up, no big deal well loading it in my yard, that's why I built the lagoon to hold water, we have to use our heads, maybe rock is cheap were you are, here we have tons of rock every were, but the demand has shot the price sky high
Podcast with Tigran Gertz. You 2 are my favorite people to watch and my biggest inspirations.
As a dude starting with zero cash flow, working out of a utility trailer with a 21 inch mower/blower/trimmer combo, you really motivate to expand and learn new things. Awesome channel, thanks buddy.
Local Yard Works Thank you for the feedback. I will keep them coming as best as I can!
Very very cool! Thanks for sharing your day Stan!!
Lawn Care I didn't think many people would be interested. Its great to be proven wrong! haha
Hi Stanley,
I am the owner of Kreativ Mess©. Our company does Painting Parties for the youth. Our vision is to inspire creativity beyond the classroom, one canvas, one person and one community at a time.
Recently I watched your video and I must say your lessons cross far into other trades. Thank you for creating these video's. Lot's of what you have said has made a great impact on the process of requesting payments for quotes to what an average work day of an entrepreneur resembles. This is a great tool you have created.
Thank you again!
+Kreativ Mess Wow- Thank you so much for the comment- truly appreciate hearing that!
The background music goes hard ! Appreciate the breakdowns, been contracting 2 years now and still overthinking bids
Amazing. Your are some one I look up toa. this is my first year in business and I watch a lot of this landscaping videos to get information and learn as much as I can. Thank you.
Mario Arellano I'm glad to be of help= it's good to hear -thank you.
What does an interview that you hire an individual you dont need to babysit look like? What are you looking for? I've found that hiring people and managing them is the most daunting task of a business for me. We've gone through so many people that dont want to work that I feel like I'd be better off just doing everything on my own and forgetting about employees. I am trying to get better at this but it just hasn't clicked for me yet. What's your advice?
Wow! That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Felix Blanco Thank you for watching and commenting. Your feedback is much appreciated.
YOU have have set your standards. very neat job site.
Great video there, valuable info for sure. It's all about time management and keeping on schedule, except for when mother nature has other plans. We generally do our quotes in the evenings as to not interfere with the work day and for residential jobs usually both couples are available.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to show us the daily life.
Hyatt lawn care LLC Thanks for commenting and watching!
I'm looking at starting up a tree service after I get my arborist certification, and these videos about mulch, grass cutting, excavation, anything are super resourceful.
I would have never thought of investing in advertising and marketing but you really changed my view of that. Thanks Stan.
+Dayne Roman Your welcome!
I'm just getting into landscaping and hardscape and your videos are very informative. I think all those who speak negative are just naturally negative people and if you were as off the grid as they say, then why are they following you?duh!! . What you are doing is awesome and don't stop, I'm in NJ and obviously we make more and charge more, but the information is the same, construction is construction. If no one else gets it, I do, I have a junk removal +demolition business and I too make videos to learn and teach as well. I am so far away from knowing everything and so far away from doing it all right, but sharing my videos and receiving feedback helps me get better and it helps someone somewhere
Thank you!
This channel is bloody awesome. Im subbing for sure, Gonna watch all your vids.
Gibson's Mowing Thank you!
Its like waking up frankinstien with all those goodies
The butter in the coffee is such a Scandinavian thing! My Great grandpa used to do that. I've tried it and don't really care for it, but all power to you!
I wish I had found someone to work with like you when I was younger or had time too these days so much knowledge can learn a lot from guys like you. Thanks for the video
Schut Lawn Service Thanks for watching and sharing,commenting. Appreciate it!
Hey I know this video is 3 years old but it was great. I'm in Maryland and seeing how you bid your jobs was very interesting. Its also a good way to break up the bids into the different task to build in the profit is a great idea. I have been on jobs and the scope changed and this would cover it.
Hey thanks Robert, I appreciate the comment and you watching !
About time to move that flashing modem light from your desk.
Handsome guy. Very professional. You should host Davy Wavy!!
"Whatever fills the hole and forms a turd" lol we love you Stanley.
Blessings Lawn & Outdoor Services Thanks my friend!!
good stuff. i like how well you know what the numbers are so it helps me to see someone as confident as yourself. i am trying to learn how to always be correct and price a job without any second guessing.
Josh Childs It is OK to second guess somewhat. But if you over analyze your numbers will always increase and eventually price you out of a job!
We have turkeys here and they are everywhere!😀👍🙏
awesome video
i like how you give the prices👍
I use cut that place I was there when you guys started that project
Thanks for sharing!
Man thanks for sharing this learning so much from you from como saint paul
You should look into interviewing The dirt ninja. He's a younger business owner and it would be nice to hear his story.
Emergen-C with hot coconut water in the morning works wonders
Dude I love your house. I love your outlook on life and business management and I genuinely APPRECIATE you opening your world up to the youtube world for others to learn! I've been procrastinating trying to find a good all around multi-vitamin to help my brain work optimal, I'm ordering what you use as soon as I got the cash! Bookmarked it on Amazon. Hope it brings me the jobs you get :D! These videos really help me get back on track for that I thank you a million! You are extremely inspirational!
Interview Keith and Geek to Freak I love both those guys! Better yet do a three-sum haha :D It'd be great to see what you three have to say. You ALL are so inspiration, you guys truly revolutionized the business to allow novice to see the dream is possible!
LMAO AT THE NO LICENSE PLATE TRUCK! I LOVE THAT
Dude your genius playing the religious flag, (fish) I didn't know if that would go against me so I didn't use it lol but I can dig it. I respect that
All your job sites have me "whoa ho ho ho haha ha" lol, they are so big and vast its hard to grasp!
lmfao - > "Thats the breakfast and lunch of champions, whatever fills the hole and forms a turd! Thats all that matters!" LMFAO
Holy crap man, awesome to see what your average day is man. Congratulations on your success and finding your niche, you freaking ROCK! I will share your videos, you inspire me to...from my perspective..to take the next ten jumps! and rocket my business. Thanks Stanley
hahaha my uncle has a 2 crew lawn maintance company and he also has a red van that he drives around to jobs. great videos man thank you for posting as much information as you do.
+Rene garcia Thanks Rene!
You are a modern day," Go Getter". Read that gem of a 90 pager book if you get a chance.
Mostly humble 1 Is that a book? Is it any good?
The Lampo Group re- published it. Yes, it was written in the early 1920's about a war vet who would not take no for an answer to be hired. He had a permanent limp and half an arm from war injury. The Degree of the Blue Vase, is his ultimate test after already performing incredibly well at several duties. Google it for free text or get it on DaveRamsey.com. You can read it in about 1:30 min.
Great video Stanley! I know these take more time to make, but I would really love to delve into the mind of Stanley genedek some more!
Randy Mikhaiel I can do them. Thanks Randy. :)
Hey,
I’m a small electrical contractor just starting out of Idaho. Just wanted to tell you that I appreciate what you’re doing and I’ve learned a lot and am applying your principles to my shop. Thanks again.
Zane Ransom what part?
Good video man I learned a few things
CARL B Gedeon and Gabino Diaz lawn care service Wow-0 thats awesome! Glad you learned a thing or 2-thats whats it about.
Ask a customer, why they picked you to do the work, as opposed to your competitors. It would be good to understand what the customer is looking for.
Good tip Jodie, thanks for watching!
I appreciate your videos ! I just started watching your videos and I have found what to watch during quarantine. I would like to have a conversation with you about starting a landscaping businesses
Great Video, Crazy day of estimating!! I love them days! By noon its like your a machine just pumpin out numbers lol. I been utilizing some of your formulas for mulch/sod/etc. and made my estimates more accurate and consistent.
O and I know after eating that corn on the cob you had to of had some stuck in your teeth! Im sure there is some deleted footage;)
Some day ill start my vlog
Dalmatian Lawn Care and Pressure Washing, LLC. Haha- love it. Keep going and get back to work :)
wow Stanley! another great video, i have a question for you. At what point in your business did you hire a general manager?
To what extent do you breakdown your landscape quotes? Do you give the customer 1 lump sum? Break it down fully into line item quotes? (It so do you include the amount of yards used like for mulch) or do you find somewhere in the middle?
Rodger from This Old House.
Truth,I need to make sacrifices in order to attain the next level of success, It isn't easy.
LAWN CARE LIFE It never is. What kind of sacrifices have you made so far?
Deciding to take on the responsibility of being a business owner. But now I have to realize that it is from sun up to sun down. I have many interests which consume much of my time, and truthfully I find it difficult to do the administration tasks instead of spending valuable time doing fun activities.THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. I realize that running a business no matter how small is 24/7 if you are serious about growth. I will be focusing on that this year.
LAWN CARE LIFE Well said and totally true. Be careful but LET the business consume you , let it take over your life (as long as your single without kids.) Then it will grow and take off on its own. Then you need to back off and be a person once more!
What about the young kid in Florida who does landscape delivery services , I think you guys did skid steer / bobcat videos
What would you say your best source for leads are? Do you use Home advisor or other like programs?
hello I love this content of this video i have a company but i need to learn doing estimations but to do the work all that i know how to do it but my difficulty is writing estimations . If you can give me tips to write better estimations i live in NJ. Thank you a lot

Stan how are you. I’m getting around to watching all of your videos. There helpful. I’m here in NYC and just started a business were I deliver and collect 1 ton bags of customers. How do I react you to get any insight
Check out the mastermind group- I guarantee it will be the best investment into your business you can make. Its at dirtmonkey university
Very cool day! What did you end up doing with that $28,000 budget?
B&B Lawn Care Here is the breakdown: $18,300 to remove and excavate walls and 550 c.y. of soil, $4260 to dispose of 90 tons or railroad ties, $1,900 to fell and move 4 trees, $2,770 to import and place 3/4 clear decorative rock with fabric, $400 for engineering= $27,630 Just a little under her budget.
Great video, as Marcus Lamones says, if you don't know your numbers you don't know your business
PA Winter Services Solid advice and the right place to start.
I would like to know how u find so many customers to even start to estimate on.
Oh my gosh. You are just like me, using the same keys to run your business. I still have a lot to learn and your video helped. Your pricing was interesting. The concrete job was high by $8,000.00plus. I could of done it in one day with 6 guys and $2,500.00 in materials. (Of course I have all the best tools to get the job done right now) But everything else you nailed on pricing (right on). Bidding is one thing you can't teach. Some days i am on and some days I am off. It takes many years to get good. And you are good at bidding and very professional to my surprise. This is my second video I have watched of yours and I am going to watch more to learn. What your teaching doesn't get learned in any college. Glad I don't work in your state and compete against you. Next I am going to see if you show your marketing secrets that deal with advertising which I believe makes a business successful. I use the internet mostly and of course word of mouth is most helpful. I usually get 6 bids in a day(tops) completely done, and run 9 guys. I am 38 years old.
+Dan Krueger I do have videos on Marketing- Let me know after you go through the library if there are any other videos you would like to see.
I aspire to reach this level of success.
LAWN CARE LIFE I believe you can do it.
Man you have done a great job getting were you are in your business! How long have you owned your company?
I started when I was 13. Worked my way through college did never stopped.
You Oooozzeeeee confidence out of a Toyota not a mini van
Most landscapers I know of get their day started with coffee and methamphetamine haha
What landscaping forums is he talking about?
Coconut oil is best in coffee.
MCT oil and the butter coffee is pretty good stuff. i have been drinking it in place of multiple energy drinks for quite a while now and its just a much much better option for health and energy.
For the driving a mini-van not the mustang, are customers typically concerned with what you drive up in???
I like the bit about profiting with every part of the job. I don't think i've heard bidding jobs talked about that way yet.
+Aaron Thurman Yes- the Mini van can put customers off at the initial meeting- so whens its the first time I drive the mustang or one of the trucks. After the job is signed-its back to the Minivan.
bad ass mustang
+brandon rick born Thanks :)
Good morning: I like what you are doing, and sharing with the public. But all I see is you; is there anouther person or people in this with you?? If something would happen to you, is there a plan to keep your Company going? You have a responsibility to your Employees as they are responsible to you, and the Company!
I have a general manager 2 site mangers and a job lead. I recruit and train both from within and look at bringing outside experts in. I also talk and network with other businesses to learn universal principles to grow and refine the business. 😄
I work as a gardener and I also do some landscaping(family owned) but I was wondering how do you get into that business? do you go to school to learn those traits. I wanna expand my business and be successful as you.
Their is a course on Dirtmonkeyuniversity.com Its called the landscaping PHD course and will teach you all the most important things I have learned in doing this business over the last 32 years. Bidding, estimating, sales, contracts, proposal templates,how to hire, how to write a help wanted ad, so much more.
