When even your parents are haters, a complete youtube stranger’s got your back. Thanks man. Getting my landscaping business off the ground this week with my first client. ❤️
Hows it going?
Still at one client but they own 2 properties 💁🏼♀️. Putting some ads out in neighborhoods today.
@@teresastanley4581 what kind of sign are you using?
Josue Mpunga I got one client using yelp and another from a Facebook group. I have a magnet for my truck and some yard signs. What I have had most call backs from is putting my business cards inside mailboxes..handwrote notes on the back of each one. I know it’s illegal but who’s taking me to jail 🤷🏼♀️ no one so far!
@@teresastanley4581 have you ever tried door knocking?
I drop in on this video about every 3-4 months just to get re-pumped. In 2 seasons at the age of 68 I've gone from nothing to 40 customers thanks to you and Geek to Freak. Please don't every pull your vid. I love them.
Still dropping in?
Me too starting from the bottom to the top

Awesomeness!
giving all this game for free?? you are heaven sent bro
Keith wow man it seems like I'm committing alot but your so real ..My trailer is a 4×8 ,I drive a 2005 nissan Xterra with 210,000 miles and like I stated before my lawnmower and weed eater is on their last leg .Yes I even painted the trailer with spray paint .Seeing the other guys look at my trailer and lol doesn't even bother me because like you I'm a humbled man ;and in time God will bless me with something better .
v bee I. already do a lot of landscaping. but i also want to start mowing yard's. people around were i live are willing to pay 50$. just for mowing their lawns so im getting a lawn mower through horse tradeing once i make enough money I'm going to buy a weed eater and we'll I already found a pickup truck on letgo for 700$ all it needs is the engine rebilt. I know i can do this.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much
This is one heck of a great Craigslist commercial!
bro I HAVE NO SHAME IN SAYING THIS VIDEO HAS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES
BUT MOST OF ALL IT HAS GIVEN ME A EXTRA BIT OF MOTIVATION AND DETERMINATION TO DO WHAT IT TAKES
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS BECAUSE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT GO THREW THE PAIN AND ARE UP NOW. ARE GREEDY TO SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE! THEY ONLY WANT TO KEEP IT FOR THEMSELVES
Great motivation I started my lawn care business with no money now 6 years later I support my family year round and have employees it can b done don't give up
That could not be said any better. Ive started out a year ago with a mountain of debt and my dads old rusted equipment and a broom out of the back of my suv. Now I have 15 really good accounts, a ute, trailer, 2 mowers, 2 whipper snippers, a blower vac and pressure cleaner all bought with the cash I earnt from mowing. Im nearly debt free, got out of credit cards debt and old personal loans and on got $3000 left on my car. It can be done, its just hard work and dedication. Thanks for videos of wisdom from Keith Kalfas and Greg Chism.
Haha,
Now that's a GREAT story bro.
Cole's Lawn Mowing and Garden Care. I been watching more of Keith's videos and i miss Greg Chism Alot but Keith is sort of the landscaping version of Greg. I love it!!
I started a remodeling company way back when with my brother, we had peanuts for cash, so we picked up a $300 piece of crap Cargo Van if CL.
That van made us tons of cash, but was full of problems.
So yes, Keith is sharing his past experiences with us to show that you can start with not much $, but with an immense amount perseverance and action will get you through the most difficult times in your business.
Keep at it and don’t give up.
Yes Thank you so much my friend.
Hey Keith I'm broke no job and I am starting a landscape business. The power of borrowing things or working side jobs to gain second hand equipment is awesome. I was able to acquire a Stihle hedge trimmer, and a Ryobe string trimmer by doing side work. I have a push mower that I am borrowing right now. I have my own Explorer that I put all of my equipement in,lol. Like I said I don't have a full time job, I have my own apartment , bills, and a ton of stress. But I am doing this. cause I have to do it, I want to do it. I am so tired of working for a small pay check, that is gone before the end of the week without being able to pay all of my bills, let alone buy food. I get what your saying cause I am seriously living it. Everything your saying is the truth. thank you so much your videos are inspirational to me.
Very motivational. How has it been going?
how have you been doin
When I started watching your videos bro I wasn't so sure. So I took what money I had and got a cheap Chinese mower and got a weed eater from a pawn shop and now I have a riding mower that I bought from a friend and I now cut 2 apartment complex and a dollar general store and a few houses when needed. Good money.. let me throw this out there. I'm only 19 lol. Best decision I have ever made!
hahaha.
right on
Fire Tech 830 how are you doing now
hows your business doing now?
how's it doing now?
Thank you so much
this guy LOVES craigslist!!! lmao
when I started mowing, I was working full time in a cheese factory and found a Honda mower for sale and paid $30. The deck was so rusty I had to duck tape coffee can over the hole. After acouple lawns the duck tape was coming loose and blowing grass on me. I paid $1500 for a 84 dodge rust bucket. Ive got nice stuff now by doing what you talk about, It can be done.
Haha.
Amazing and REAL story man.
I watched this video 2 years ago, I started man, this year I started my business. I made the leap because of you telling me I could. I'm paying Bill's and taking care of my kids and my wife . Your advice changed me and inspired my life man I'm 27 and I'm tired of struggling with dead end jobs. I'm going to make it, I watch your videos every day because YOU are the truth
This is what I call real talk! Every aspiring entrepreneur who's afraid to get out of their so called comfort zone needs to watch this. I sure needed it. It's so easy to go with the reasons it won't work instead of focusing on the reasons it will.
Thanks for posting bro!
man i just started watching our videos today and i cant stop watching your videos you are literally inspiring me and i feel you are speaking directly to me because im starting my business now and have my mom going crazy helping me set up my site and everything man this is a blessing thank you!
You are good, real good! Ive been there, dead-ass broke and started a small business from nothing. The grit and dogged-determination that I see in you is what is "required" to start a business. Salute to you, sir. Great inspirational video.
I’ve never been so motivated to get my business off the ground!! Thanks a lot man! Keep it up
Thanks for the motivation man. Just started a few weeks ago. Got the truck and equipment. Got 6 yards where they kept me. Let's all get it!!!!!
Dude, I don't even know a thing about landscaping, I'm in medical sales... but you are the truth man. You are like Leonides in 300! Great video!
Thank you so much
Was thinking about your videos yesterday , 4 years ago i watched all your videos and started grtting into places in the neighborhood walking the whole thing lol today i own a furniture company and now im back to your videos about to start a contracting company
best video ever my family is moving to Massachusetts and I have to stay behind all by my self for college with no money no nothing now I'm motivated and this will be done thank you man
this is the 1st video i watched when i was still working a dead end job and mowing some lawns on the side with a peice of shit push mower. this video is what i watched that got me pumped and motivated. this was my 1st year working for myself and its been the best thing thats ever happened to me, check out my you tube channel and see my growth. thanks keith!
Keith I have said it again an again this video has got my head right so many times since you made this one thanks so much brother keep them coming
Literally took a chapter out of my life and put it on here. I rarely get inspired so thank you
Your video is inspirational and helpful. I'm in my beginning stages. I have 11 accounts and some crappy "Craig equipment", but I'm busting my ass and I never do a half ass job. My customers are bringing in more customers. I cut in the morning and work my 40 hr job in the afternoon. One day I will cut those ties and head out on my own. It's all a matter of "when". Thanks for the words of wisdom.
I remember watching this video and I was working at Walmart. I felt as you was speaking to my situation. I started cutting and didn’t look back been self-employed for a year now. Still need to grow but it feels good to be a little of the ground.
Great lecture. This goes beyond just lawn care services. Hope all is well Kieth. This is just the advice I needed. As simple as it may have been.
Love your vids man they really gave me the motivation to get my own lawn care company going
man Gave me so much hope right now straight up and honest just what I needed I've started my company but I have not gotten any homes or equipment truck etc still at my job. exactly what you said man .. thanks for this video
I have so much respect for you, you're so real! I just found your page but I'm so interested... I have a Ford Ranger and a lawn mower and a dream LOL but because of your videos, I'm highly motivated to get started. keep doing your thing! respect bra.
you are what ppl need to here brother i like you . thats what's up ppl n the world need ppl like you
thank you. I'm from Puerto Rico, practically not English. I've been thinking about how to quit my job for months to spend all my time in my new business and this video helped me a lot.
Thanks for sharing this valuable information and your experience I really appreciated 👍😎 i needed that motivation 😃
Got my first weekly account three days ago and I'm feeling everything you spoke of!! I've watched nearly all you and freek's vids please keepem coming.
Thank you so much
This is so true. I started off stuffing my lawn mower in the trunk of my CIVIC. And i mowed my friends lawn and getting that cash was the best feeling
Keith your words are very powerful and encouraging. I just recently started my lawn care business last month after a long time waiting because i hesitated for so long. I have to thank you and Greg #Geek to freak fitness&Lawn care for the encouragement without you I would probably be still hesitating. This video is almost the perfect example of my situation I work a full time job with 3 children and my fiance lost her job a few months ago so I live paycheck to paycheck. But the good side of the story is I am starting off alot better than most people are because I already have a truck, riding lawn mower, push mower, and some other tools that were given to me. I also already made business cards and flyers. My last steps are establishing customers and getting insurance. Thanks again Keith.
I can’t count how many times I watched this video last year, I had to come back and watch it before this season starts to get me motivated
All your videos are great but I think this is the best one Ive seen you produce. Bravo man, you're good.
Many blessings
Hey man I just wanted to thank you for posting these videos, I've been learning a lot from watching your videos to do my landscaping business and keep working hard to make my business better so thank you again. @KeithKalfas
Keith, man you're awesome! Hope you continue to do well and motivate new comers!
LOVE THIS VIDEO MAN.. I REMEMBER THIS ROLLER COASTER IT STILL HAPPENS NEVER STOPS PART OF THE GROWTH..
Not sure how... But I love listening to your info and the way you talk/say it. It's very inspiring and feels good to hear that it possible and that I can do it! Love your. Videos and all your information that you share!!

You got this
I'm doing it! First year in the biz! Thanks for the advice!
I'm just gonna start working for a lawn service and you really made me motivated to do something with this business.
Thanks for this video. I have been at my job now for 6 years and have been doing lawn care 2, well on my 3rd season now. I'm starting to get to the point where I'm ready to put my 2 weeks in and go full time with the lawn care. I have 21 accounts now and believe I can get way more!
Love your videos man. This year will be my third season with my landscaping business(1st season part time). Last year started strong and due to personal reasons, employee issues and life ended last season in a low spot. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and they among other things give me the hope the motivation to continue. Keep up with the vids man. We appreciate it.
Best of luck in the business man, stay motivated
Danm what a good motivation speaker keith kalfas you the man I'm always watching your videos
Keith, you are unique man. Thanks for manning up and living out loud to raise the hope of others who are struggling.
Here I am back at the video that started it all for me. Thanks Keith
I started out with a lawn mower and weedwacker and a broom in my car, doing 3 lawns a week then it turned into 8 a week, and I bought a 7000$ truck I saved for , and from there I got new mowers and weed wackers, blowers tools... These videos inspire me cause Ik the struggle u went through and I gone through it and I can relate thanks!

Very inspiring video. Thank you for your time to create this. This was a great stepping stool that I used for my property care business. Thank You, again.
Yes Thank you so much
pops. good looking out for taking time of your life to motivate others man you got me motivated
Keith first off I love you. Your my inspiration to break that light in my life. Broke flat have been for 6 months. But in that time I got a van, office, walk behind, most of my tools are from charity shops. Few week ago someone wrote my van off. Looks like am gonna go buy myself a banger. No matter how many times I've been knocked back I wanna prove it to myself. NOONE else. Feel your I spiration from the UK legend xxx
You're awesome. I have been there, before. Now I'm starting from zero, again, and getting to know a new market before trying anything. Good video.
You're gonna crush it. Thanks for your feedback man. Best of success
thank you for your videos, they are very expiring.
Best video I've watched, you are a real inspiration man.
it's scary how accurate this video is to my start up..i still have my 9 to 5 job but I'm getting more and more clients day by day.i cant wait to tell the boss bye👋.i actually think I'm ready but i want to get thru my 1st off season 1st.i went from my 22 inch toro to my 30 inch toro now today i got a 36 inch toro walk behind...awww man I'm high on life right now..the come up is happening!!! you are right when you say it's your priviledge to serve us that watch this video..thanks again i keep watching this video periodically and i see the growth and it's inspiring in all aspects of life.
That sounds great man! Follow through my man!
Wow exactly what I needed to here I'm half way there mate now I'm chasing more frequent work by approaching all the school principals in my area to get small gardening jobs
One of the most uplifting and encouraging videos I have ever seen on youtube.
Thanks Bro
Love your attitude, thanks for posting!
Awesome and inspirational video. I'm a mechanic and started buying cheap non running push mower's and weedeater. Fixed them up cheap and now have 3 mowers, and weedeater incase 1 fails. Now I finally have my own Facebook business page and it will take time and patience but like you said it only takes 1 customer.
Great video man! It makes me want to start a business, even though I have a few accounts already. I heard that thing about the trailer, and maybe for all the people who are thinking about an option for a truck, if there is one in someone'e price range, but a long bed is a LIFESAVER. Better road handling than a truck and trailer together, and sometimes cheaper than a little short bed truck. Just my two cents, and good luck to all the others out there starting out!
bro thanks for this video its very helpful and motivated
Man I did hardscaping before I joined the military and now I'm a supervisor at a huge grounds management company and I'm still broke 15 an hour working 60 plus weeks. I've been thinking of going out on my own for a while now and this video has convinced me to do it. Thanks man.
Love this video so much. Exactly what you need when you are on the fence
Yes Thank you so much my friend.
Wanted to say thank you I remember listen to this video and i was inspired thank you
great video!! As with everything, keep your debt manageable and keep your eyes and ears open!!
Its really been about a year since I watched this and left my cushy good paying job for the only job I ever known. Its not been all peaches and cream but I can truely say I have been felt happier. Thanks Keith.
Great video. I just bought a pretty decent troy built self propelled mower off craigslist for 50 bucks. Next goal is a decent trimmer and blower. After that, 10 customers is the goal. Fortunately, because I currently paint houses for a living, I already have a van that I can load all my ish in. One step at a time is the message I get from this. Nice!!!
Thack you very much for your time to make this video. God bless you and your family. Muchas gracias from Waukegan IL
Thank you my friend
Thanks man I'm going to do it. it's done
Most inspiring thing I've heard. I'm gonna do it.

You're welcome Daniel.

Bro you made me cry when you was talking about remember the time you had it big and the sports thing. Well brother at the moment if you only knew how much I owe the feds plus on house arrest with little time to work delivering pizza. I love mowing/trimming and I know if I just had the extra push I’ll be out there already. Thanks man,love your work and your message.
