    Great job buddy. I would have done the same thing you did. You made money, you made a client happy and hopefully he will give you more work or refer you his friends. Your videos are great motivation for me and others out there, so please keep it up. My business is picking up quite a bit even for closing in on the end of the season. Thanks for caring brother.

      @@mattrawles3859 Yes, of course. I look forward to hearing your success story and watching you grow as well buddy. Yup, it all worked out and I have videos upcoming talking about how I’ve gotten more jobs from this job and video. Neighbors in this golf course community were reaching out asking me to take on jobs for them also. Just seeing my truck/business badge on my truck plus the work had neighbor’s reaching out. Everything happens for a reason I believe. Honestly I’m growing fast and feeling a little beat down at the moment. Jobs are getting bigger plus I’ve been doing them alone to make as much as I can but it’s been taking a toll. I’m actually looking to build a team at the moment. Juggling a lot at the moment. Just trying to catch you up on the present moment because these jobs are from 2 or so months ago. What are you doing for the winter months? Snow removal? Anyways I’m glad you’re doing well and work is still coming in. That says a lot. Congrats brother

      @@mattrawles3859 Awesome brother, glad to hear and seems like we are thinking alike. I just put a bid in for an apartment complex in Nampa. I’m looking at and might fly out to Chicago area to buy 2 trucks with plows and one has a dump bed. Can use them for snow plus landscaping for next year. Sounds like you have snow equipment ready for the year. I’ll definitely see you out there buddy

    You should hire day labor. You could have done it in one day, paid two guys 8 hours at $20 each while you sold other work. 320 to labor 630 to you, no back aches and you would have more work ahead. Day labor is great, find a couple guys you can trust, young bucks, and pay them nice and keep it breezey.

      @@AS-ng5pi I totally agree with this. I had this plan of building a great face to my business this year then going into hiring and growth mode next year. But I’m now realizing I could have bit the bullet this year and hired others to do the jobs you are watching while I’m out advertising. I could have 3X-5X’d my business in a single first year but I went about it wrong. All one big learning experience and journey. Next year you will see expansion and better execution skills. That’s why I made this channel. Show you all good things and bad things I can learn from myself. This channel helps me as well.

    Taxes should be first on your list of any income you make. I get it times you need to spend instead of save for taxes but better to save while it’s coming in rather than banking on a big job or multiple big jobs to pay off tax debt. It can be crippling to businesses, especially new.
    You’re definitely winning with no overhead costs. This routine will pay off man. I’m glad I’m here for it! 🤘🏼🍻
    I’m still new to everything and you’re teaching me a whole hell of a lot.
    I just noticed you kind of added taxes on the last part of your list of things to save for and just thought I’d mention it.
    Appreciate you man! You’re doing great!! Beautiful work

      @@ucookinwithbutta956x Thank you for the comment and support buddy. I’m glad you’re following the channel and it’s helpful for you. Hearing things like that keep me pushing and keep filming these. This channel happened really organically and this community it’s building is more than I could ever ask for. Yes, taxes are really important and maybe I’ll cover that in more detail in one of the videos ahead. Like I said in this video, I don’t spend a dime I make. So I don’t have to worry about if I have the money to pay my taxes. On top of that I keep all my business expenses/receipts for right offs come tax time. I do agree, most first year businesses burn themselves by not saving and spending on their extravagant lifestyle. Keep me posted and stay in touch about your journey starting a business for yourself. If you need anything or someone to talk to about business stuff reach out whenever. I’ll send you my personal info. I built this channel to help others and show them a process that works while filming my journey doing the extract things I talk about. Again I appreciate YOU and the support my guy.

    It’s sometimes the guys that grind on the price that start grinding on the job that was done. That said, it is important to go at all the jobs especially when establishing yourself.
    If you play this customers game and in the end he is pleased.. you never know what other jobs he leads you to. And most importantly.. where they lead.
    Love you man

      @@slicktmi Notes. Everything gets logged into my notes in my phone plus memory. I’m really detailed about every dollar that comes in and every dollar that goes out. I log all my jobs into a memo log and keep every receipt which gets put into a folder. I have a pretty good memory when it comes to work stuff so I know my schedule and what I can do when a customer approaches me/calls. It’s a lot to stay on top of but I like to think I’m pretty organized and good at all this.

    How do you advertise this specific service? I don't mean which platform, but more like how do you present it? Landscaping or Decorative Landscape?

      @@peacefulcanvasvibes Well I haven’t advertised in almost 3 months now. I built a good reputation on connecting with my customers-showing up on time-doing good work-good communication-willing to make the customer happy no matter what. My business has spread like wild fire this year. But when I first started filming my videos I was going out on a daily basis doing door hangers advertising lawn service- hardscape- yard rehabs/decorative. It’s hard to answer that and explain it I’ll give you a straight answer. I’m really good with people and making them feel confident in hiring me and also making them feel comfortable talking to me. I have a natural way of connecting with people if that helps explain it. It really comes down to the person and how they represent their company. Some people have an easier time selling than others. The most important thing in business is learning customer relations skills. If you can nail that and focus on that, your business will thrive. I touch on this in upcoming videos. Customer relations, customer relations, customer relations. Learn all you can on that topic.
