- Take take a ride with me as I give you guys a bit of my origin story.
6 years ago I watched a 3 minute Keith Kalfas pricing video…long story short, I heard "$245 in 45min" and MY MIND WAS BLOWN!!! I thought I gotta start a "grass cutting business" I literally couldn't stop thinking about it.
A couple weeks later I took the idea to my wife and SHE BELIEVED IN MY VISION AND DREAM!!! I'm a very confident person but that day she poured FUEL on my flame and made it a RAGING FIRE!!!
Two days later I sold my car and bought a truck and the DREAM STARTED!!!
I hope this story helps you go out and start something that really makes you happy…REMEMBER YOU ONLY GOTTA BE RIGHT ONCE!!!!!

Bro I gotta stop being scared and just do it.
@@THESHOWwMKSPEXT Just start and make it happen 💯🫡
Thanks! I am in Lawncare now but your video makes me feel like I can run through a brick wall. Such positivity and a great story!
@@SRootsLandscapes 💪🏽🫡
This video left me in tears! I was a heroin junkie 4 years ago. I overdosed on fentynal and almost died. I was in a coma for 3 days. When I woke up, I had an encounter with the risen Christ. Since then I have become a Pastor and I am in year 2 of owning my own lawncare and landscaping business. It has definitely changed my life. I started with 6 yards from church members, now last month the business earned almost 12k. I can't believe it, thank you for this video. God is good! God bless
Wow I love to hear stories like yours 💯 You are AMAZING my friend Keep up the good work Pastor🙏🏽🫡
Amen
I have the same story. I was in tears reading this I had to show my wife then she was in tears alongside me. I went to southern theological seminary after finding my church home. In 2015 I started a group home for people struggling with addiction. We served and ministered in this community for 4 years. About half way through I started building my landscape business so around 2019 we stepped back and I appointed a good friend and his wife from my church with similar backgrounds after hearing from the lord to focus on our business and serving more in the church. After covid hit I just worked worked worked and slowly I found myself going through the motions in my walk. Me and my wife decided to move to Florida and buy out another landscape company. Without dragging this out we soon found out it wasn't God's plan for us and had to move back home a year later. I learned that not all great ideas or what seems right is not always from God. I feel like God is having me say all this for you and others to see and learn from my mistakes and how important it is for us as followers of Christ to stand firm and pray about all things as the scriptures tell us too. All it takes is a moment of complacency and falling into the motions of life for us to lose our decernment causing us to make what looks like a good decision but outside of God's Will. Good news is we serve a Merciful gracious God that never forsaken us and loves us so much to correct our paths leading us back to His will. I've had to start all over but through it all I still have the most important things in life which is my wife and kids and first and for most a loving relationship with my heavenly father. God bless and thank you for your testimony, it's strengthens mine.
@greenpastures35 Thank you for your testimony brother 🙏🏽🫡
Our lord is good
I relate so much. I've only been in business for about two months and have already matched my full time jobs income... maybe it was luck, and maybe it was god's grace insuring me that there really is more to life when we step out of our comfort zone and chase our dreams.
Man I made about $400 on my first job and it took me two hours, I remember coming back to my wife and putting the money on the table and just saying... "man, this is going to work!" nearly brought to tears.
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT 💯 That’s what it’s all about man …Happy for you 💯💯💪🏽🫡
@@mack_landscaping412 All love brother god bless you.
I just started my business this year and God has blessed me beyond belief!! Your video just confirms my decision!!!
Lets Go 💪🏽 SUCCESS IN 2023💯🫡
Likewise brother let’s go!
Keep going! I’m starting mine early next year! Questions I’m asking myself for the business - integrity, ‘how can I best serve people?/how can I take the right approach to succeed at having a good reputation AND make money?
January 2023, I started my landscaping company. In my first year, ONLY working afternoons after work and weekends, my sales were $80k. This year I left my $85k yr salary and being comfortable, to pursue this full time. The work is THERE, the money is THERE!! This is doable for anybody.
Lets go💪🏽 That’s 🔥🫡
How'd you get customers?
@matthewable8619 For me google has been the best
As an entrepreneur myself I am so extremely proud of you for making the leap! It is the scariest thing we ever do but my GOD is it worth it!
Thank you …And Yes he is 💯🙏🏽🫡
Wow man, I’m 31 out of a divorce and trying to provide for myself and my 2 boys. I have a full time job but started cutting grass to help support my family but I felt like giving up until seeing this! Thank you
You got this bro 💯🫡
Let’s keep moving 📈📈
I’m 31 and just started fulltime. You can do it.
This was the video that motivated me to start lawn care. I was on the fence about it. But I’m glad I took your advice. I now have 80 customers
That’s 🔥🔥🔥 80 customers is INCREDIBLE bro 💯🔥💪🏽🫡
Awesome video dude! Great to see you. May your channel explode! 🙏
Thanks man!!! I’m happy the video made its way to you💯 When I seen your video 6 years it showed me a way to change my life!!!! Thanks for all the videos and podcast 👊🏽 Your changing lives homeboy 💯💯💯
Keith did it for me too. First video that inspired me a few years ago. That changed my life
Bro, I literally just watched this video on Christmas day. As I sit here upset because I can't enjoy Christmas with my family because I have to wake up at 2 am and go clock in at corporate America. This video just cut me deep. It's time for me to cut ties with my full time job soon. This video just did something to me.
@@tankslawnmaintenance5230 If I can do it you can too💯
@@tankslawnmaintenance5230you got this bro! I took the leap of faith in May of 2022 and don’t regret it at all. This video you just watched is very similar to my story. God bless brotha and keep working hard, it’ll pay off.
Man I have a junk removal service and the mental struggle is legit and man all I can say is THANK YOU!!! for making this video I believe god wanted me to watch this
You’re very welcome my friend…I’m happy you got some value from the video 💯🫡🙏🏽
Not sure why this showed up as a recommended video but I'm glad it did. I needed to hear this and I'm certain that others will hear it at a time when they need it the most.
Thank you 🙏🏽 💯🫡
I too, came across Keith when I was first trying to piece my business together.
I was working EMS full time and not enjoying it anymore, depressed, not leading my life. Like you, I chose lawn care and just knew it.
I got the boat close to the dock and quit. Started with a Honda push mower out of the back of a pickup truck and it’s crazy to see where I’m at now and where we are going. Never looking back.
I love it man 💯…It’s a GREAT feeling when you’ve made the right decision…I’m happy to hear how well your doing 💯💯💯
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and he adds no sorrow.
🙏🏽
Thank you @Mack Landscaping & Lawn Care and @Keith-Kalfas. I have been watching landscaping videos for over 10 years. I'm 26 now and have a 2 year old daughter. I also take care of my Mother and Aunt and its been hard. I have lost my sister and dad and I'm just trying to be the man that my family needs. I finally understand the true meaning of life, which for me, is family and improving on yourself and overcoming challenges. I normally don't post stuff like this, but I've been watching landscaping videos every morning, while I have breakfast, and this one got to me. I'm in the thick of things right now. I just started my business last July and I'm just happy I made it through the winter. I'm absolutely broke, its the first of the month and I don't have rent or Daycare. That's okay though because, I wake up at 5 am, have my coffee and eggs, watch a landscaping video, take my daughter to daycare, and then work until dark. These videos show me that I'm not the only one whose been here before and they give me the strength to know that I can make it and I will, because there is no other option. Now its time for me to stop writing this post and getting all emotional. thanks again and its time to work.
You’re welcome buddy and I’m sorry for your loss…I’m love your never give attitude!!! YOU GOT THIS BRO💯 Keep up the GRIND…It will pay off eventually…I wish for you MAJOR SUCCESS AND TRIUMPH IN 2023 …Thank you for your comment💯 KEEP YOU THE HUSTLE🫡
I feel you my man, I left a job last year that I was on for 24 years. I own a dump truck and I love every minute of it. ✌🏽
Lets gooo!!!!
Yes I started my business working for a landscaper and was doing my own thing on the side out of my sports car. He told me I’m not a landscaper. I made many mistakes but those mistakes I learned from. I’m working out on my van and homeless. I’ll stay positive and never give up and keep learning. Get over your fears and keep moving forward. Much respect.
Keep grinding and keep that positive attitude 💯🙏🏽🫡
Amen, I just gave my notice after 9 1/2 years with no other job. Lawn care business here I come. Thanks for sharing brother. God Bless you!
That’s 🔥🔥🔥…Happy for you my friend 💯
Me too, after 7 years. Thanks Tesla. Lawn Care Biz here I come.
Bro this video made me cry I really felt it, I knew today I wanted to own my own business.
LETS GOOO💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 YOU GOT THIS 💯🫡
I was working for a major consumer electronics company as a GM for 18 years. Unfortunately I was not selected for a role as the company’s completed a reorganization. Tomorrow 4-15-23 is my last day. I saw your video and it was VERY INSPIRING! I subscribed to your channel. I need your inspiration right now!
Sometimes things happen so we can move on to better things 💯
My guy I started my business as well in September 2016 and I can tell from my experience it has changed my life and never looking back! This video made me reflect on a lot of things and how God has taking me to higher places 🙏🙌
🙏🏽🫡💯
Duuuuude you really touched me with this video. I'm setting here literally crying because I KNOW I should go and do the same thing. For some reason I'm scared to death to take that step even though I have a truck and own a riding mower, weed eater, and a blower. I wake up every day and work my ass off for another man to enjoy vacations and time with his family while I live paycheck to paycheck.
You just really touched me with this comment…cuz this video is exactly you…I felt the same way bro …
I dont know your situation but I do know that if I can do this…You can too…. Keep your job and start doing lawns on the side …You will find out that if you work your ass off for him …YOU WILL REALLY WORK YOUR ASS OFF FOR YOUR DREAM!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU 💯 YOU GOT THIS 🫡
You nailed it. You already do what is required for the job. Start little by little, maybe on your day off, with a few or one extra job at a time. Build a name, people will recommend you and call for future jobs.
I was laid off in 2008 from being a home builder...lost everything...I had a wild hair that I could mow yards...been doing it for 15 years now and still love it!..God Bless!
💪🏽💯🫡
Wonderful story. I had the same story 30 years ago. I’m still going strong great job
Thank you my friend 💯🫡
I had a similar experience. I spent 7 years managing landscape businesses and was completely burned out with the hours and the low quality people I worked with everyday. employees never showing up, high on the job, pathetic quality service, complete lack of systems or organization, you name it. November 2020 we received a shipment of mulch we didn't order at the shop and the boss man let us take it for free. I had no plans until a neighbor asked if I could mulch for him that same afternoon. He'd never asked for anything before but his timing couldn't have been better. At the end of the following week I had done 5 mulch jobs on my street and made almost as much money as my monthly salary. in 4 days. Just like you my gears started turning and within a few months I quit my job to start my own business. In my second year I had the best financial year of my life. Encouraging story thanks for sharing man!
Way to go bro💯…I love the story thanks for sharing and THANKS FOR BETTING ON YOURSELF 💪🏽 I’m happy for you buddy 💯💯💯 You just inspired me 💯🫡
Great story. Happy for your success. I started my lawncare business in 1992. Still going.
Thanks buddy…1992 🤯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Love it man 👊🏽
God bless you! Awesome story, you are so passionate about your business. I started my Junk removal and hauling business 1 month before the pandemic. I was working as a maintenance tech for a property management company. I got the idea one day while I was cleaning out an apartment that was abandoned by the tenant, and it was so filled with junk. A lightbulb turned on inside my brain. I went home, I got on UA-cam to see if this was a thing, and I was so excited when I found a few videos of Junk Haulers. It went from there! Last year, I cash flowed right around $110,000 dollars. Reinvesting in your own business is the smartest thing a business owner can do.
🙏🏽 Way to go my man 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🫡
The fact that you’re a believer is powerful. God is our everything. Thanks again for the motivation
Yes he is 💯 you’re welcome buddy 🫡
I know this is a year old. But it's an amazing thing having a supportive wife. Continued success to your business.
Thank you my friend 💯🫡 I wish the same for you and your family 🙏🏽
My first job too man. I underquoted like crazy for a season long contract. $600 to mow the lawn. Small property. Really only was a front yard but hey…
They tipped $100 for the year. I went home and told my mom how much I loved her and how that’s what I wanted to do moving forward. That was also 6 years ago.✊🏼
Only gotta be right once 💯 I was so proud of myself after that 1st job …Seriously a life changing day for me !!!
How much knowing now would you charge that?
The yard I cut is out of my service area now lol so I just wouldn’t do it & for a job like that… now it would be $375-$425 because we would do professional job 💯
If your wife supports you, that's half the battle. Keep grinding brother and hope to see you at GIE...
@@kelvinross8506 I will be there my friend
You got me in tears. Was watching this while cleaning up after a long day grinding. Did a sod installation for the first time. It's not perfect. But the customer is happy. I am proud of the job my wife and I did. Made some money. Trimmed up a palm tree real quick for some that was a few houses down. Cash 20$ for 3 minutes of work. Picked up 2 new clients today. Went to look at a 5 acre property that needs 2-2.5 acres mowed. I hope they take my quote on bi weekly cuts.
But this i felt in my soul. I must say thank you. As well as to Keith. And Brian's lawn C. You guys have giving me the inspiration. I currently am a career rural mail carrier at the united states postal service. I started small. Weed eating in a 55+ community. 50+ yards later I started branching out to residential homes . Slowly picking up business. Finally started paying for advertising. About to run 3 different every door direct mail adds for a area that I am told people are upset about the current service. The post office is about to cut 10k-20k from 66% of all rural mail carriers in the US. I don't take people messing with my money very well. I really hope that I get to the point of being able to leave the Post office and gold full time with
Frenchbillies Lawn Care and Landscaping LLC.
A huge thanks again.
Jacob.
Keep grinding bro💯🫡 I’m happy you found value in the video …Just know we are behind you and wishing success and prosperity 💯💯💯
Wow powerful testimony!!! I’m in that season in my life now I’m moving from NY to NC and I’m going to start my business!!! With the help of Jesus Christ 😇🙏🏿
He got your back, front, and both sides that’s 4sure…Now you just gotta do your part and get started…I’m looking forward to hearing about your journey and success he has for you💯 YOU GOT THIS🫡
Major props man! I've been running a lawn care business for about 4 month's now. Moved 200 miles away from home and couldn't find a job so I created one for myself. I have a 2013 chevy volt, which is a hatch back. I roll woth my push mower, weed eater, blower and 24" hedge trimmer plus my hand tools trash bags and other miscellaneous item's. I now have 50+ yard's and still work out of my volt. Yesterday I did a yard clean-up and mow, it was 0.22 of an acre and took me 6 hour's.. I made $520 by 2pm and still had two more mow job's. Yesterday was my most profitable day yet.
Thanks buddy💯👊🏽🫡…Major props to you …We all start somewhere the important thing is to START!!!! Most people sit around and wait for good things to happen…WINNERS MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!!!
You my friend are a WINNER!!!! so keep pushing and know you got an ARMY of brothers and sisters that are gunna SUPPORT YOUR DREAM💯
Just think of the 90 percent of people who never get to experience the excitement of starting a successful business. Making your own way,with God’s help and blessing on your life. A very encouraging video! Good luck.
Thanks buddy 🙏🏽🫡
I had this experience six months ago when I decided to start my own CRP business. I’m forever grateful that I took the leap of faith. I’m on track to make my first million dollars net profit before I turn 30 on New Year’s January 1, 2024. My life will never be the same, my wife and I just bought our first home and we are in the process of acquiring a second home for a group home business. I just want to give glory to God! Keep up the great work! Much love from Utah. 🤙🏽
Wow that’s 🔥🔥🔥 💯🫡

I'm tired of making someone else rich for my labor and it's time to do it for myself. I love the video and the words of encouragement. Thanks Mack. 💪💪 2024 $$
I started 26 years ago. 2 Lawnboy mowers a weed whacker and a blower. And my Dodge Dakota truck. And it took off from there. 2 trucks dump trailer inclosed trailer and 1 open trailer. I love hearing other people just do it. Don’t think about it just move forward. And the best I still work my full time job. And cut 40 yards a week commercial and residential and plow snow. I love watching your videos. You are from Pittsburgh I’m from Reading Pa.
🫡 thanks for the support 💯
You hit the nail on the head. Lawncare changed my view of life bro. Made me realize the life i want is possible. Let’s go bro.
💪🏽🔥🫡
Love the testimony brother! I had worked for a company for 23 years when I decided to take a leap of faith and buy a small lawncare business. We're now in our second year and seeing God bless the business. Sure, there have been bumps along the way. That's what I love about guys like you who share their journey! If I can learn from other people's mistakes and accomplishments it only makes my path that much easier.
Thank you for the powerful testimony! Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos and hope to see more in the future!
Be blessed!
Thanks for watching 👊🏽 You got this 💯
Can anyone give me advice on how to land enough jobs especially in the beginning? And is there any tips on how to bid a lawn care job?
Lawn care service is a pretty simple and easy business to start. Thus lot of competition. The thing that will set you apart from others is determination and customer service and the sky is the limit. Goes for other businesses aswell.
Great advice 💯
Subscribed … I’ve always wanted to start a lawn care business but always been distracted with life etc. I work full time as a help desk technician.. but my joy is being outside. The last part of this video brought tears to my eye. Acknowledge the Lord in all things. Be ye transformed by renewing of your mind !! Amen thank you i appreciate you.
Hey man lets pull the trigger and get started💯💯💯 You got an ARMY of SUPPORT!!! STARTING WITH ME💯💯💯 If I can do it, you can do it…LETS GOOO!!! YOU GOT THIS 🫡🫡🫡
Man I then shed a few tears watching this video 🙏🏾 it was meant for me to see this
I’m happy you got some value from the video 💯💪🏽🫡
Yo! This video straight motivated me . I hit subscribe fast. You told a amazing story and the way you did it was uplifting. I'm 47 and done the same trade now for 28 yrs setting up headers making fasteners and it's provided me a good life but now kids grown and I'm burnt out and struggling to find direction in life while suffering depression. Been wanting to be in charge of my life for awhile and this was what I needed to hear. Thanks
I’m happy you got some value from the video…Sounds like it’s time to do some things that make you happy buddy…That’s my approach with everything the older I get …If it don’t make me happy I don’t do it …doing things this way has helped me keep a positive attitude …You got this bro 💯🫡
Love it. Thank you for sharing your story. I worked for the man for about 16 years. I took a chance, and now I've been running my business for 16 years and never been happier. Same thing when I got my first check , I knew I had something big, and now I'm up to 1.2 million in sales and growing every year. I have a tortillas distribution business.
Thank you, Lord.
1.2 million is AMAZING!!!! A Dream & some Hard Work is all it takes 💯🫡
This is better than a lot of motivational speeches I've heard because its real. Great testimony!
Thanks buddy 💯🫡
God's plan is perfect. Many of us in the business have a similar story but not all of us give the glory to Jesus. Thank you for sharing God bless.
You’re welcome and Thank you 💯🫡
This was powerful stuff. I have been in business over 20 years and I am pumped up. Cant wait for Monday. Thank you Mack. New sub for sure.
Let’s Goooo💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I knew after being in law enforcement and then working as a crew leader for a local lawn company that I could do the same work and make triple what I was bringing home. Solo for 3 seasons now and ain't looking back! Blessed
Love to hear that bro 💯…CONGRATULATIONS 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I worked for a Police Department for 15 years. I had worked my way up to 3rd in command. At the same time, I owned and operated a lawn service. I left the PD to work for the sheriff's office. When I left the PD, the city contacted me and asked me to bid on a mowing contract. I bid and got the contract. I make more money mowing 8 months out of the year for the city than I did as an administrator for their PD.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Bro, did not except the Romans 12, bust out in tears. God bless you and thank you for the inspiration that I can do this.
🙏🏽🫡 You got this 💯💯💯
Been working on my own business for about eight years now I still have a full-time job that I have been at for over 20 years weekends and evenings mow grass, Trim Bushes Cut Trees , anything to do with landscaping over to past eight years I have bought and pay for all my equipment with a goal of eventually transitioning over to my landscaping business with no overhead I’ve been at that point with my equipment paid off for a few years now but I ain’t gonna lie. I’m scared. I’ve been praying hard for the Lord to give me a sign … and then your video pops up out the blue … thank you brother for your inspiration. May God bless you and your family
I’m happy the video found you buddy …for me I looked at my jobs and thought …what if I give myself these 40-80 hours a week, what could I do with that??? Then I gradually built until I could quit …If I can do it you can …just make sure you have a plan …YOU GOT THIS 💯💯💯🫡
Bro this video is exactly how I felt when I found out I could use my truck to start a business! I use to sell trucks and one day I guy came in to buy a van and the rest was history.. I realize I could do the same thing he’s doing and be my own boss!
You only gotta be right once 💯 Way to go my man💪🏽🫡
What do you do?
Brother, you’re bringing my heart to mesh. I had my lawn business and made a bad decision & lost it. Had to go back to 9-5 job.
I never lost the love for cutting grass.
I had no knowledge but had faith and good work ethic.
I know it was God that gave me the business & I felt so ashamed of myself and embarrassed in front of my wife & kids when I had to stop the business.
Your video has moved me to pray again to God & ask Him if He would Bless me to do it again.
You can do it 💯💪🏽
What was bad decision,?
Subbed when you quoted God’s word…May The Creator continue to bless you brother…This was very motivating for me, me and my wife in the works of trying to start a business
Thank you for that💯 I look forward to hearing about your success when you start your business💯💯💯 A HUSBAND and WIFE FOCUSED on a GOAL is a POWERFUL FORCE OF NATURE!!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU 🫡
Thank you for that powerful message. Brang tears to my eyes. Im at the beggining of my journey
You got this 💯💪🏽🫡
Glad to see everything worked out. I loved the part when you shared your story with your wife. It makes a big difference having a partner that believes in you. When I go mow lawns on weekends my girlfriend grabs my blower and pitches in help. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Her support gave me the ⛽️ I needed …her belief was the FUEL that really ignited the 🔥 inside…I’m happy you have someone who believes in you buddy … & now you can add me to that list💯💯💯 SUCCESS IN 2023💪🏽
I needed this. Been wanting to start a lawn care business for a while and I felt like you were talking directly to me in this video. I’m about to make my dream happen. Thank you for this message!
You’re welcome my friend👊🏽 I look forward to hearing about your success💯🫡
Amen 🙏🏼 I’m 21 years old and I’m hoping to start into the lawn care business I actually can’t wait for it, hearing stories like this makes me happy and to not give up in our carriers, if you want it do it!!! Because I’m sure u can prove it too🙏🏼God bless u.
God bless you too my friend 💯
Literally my thoughts right now. Just told my wife I want a lawn care business she said go for it… more to the story but definitely same path
Lets go💪🏽🔥🫡
It’s amazing the effect a woman can have on a man by simply BELIEVING in him. Loved your story brother. 🫡
Lights a 🔥💯🫡
True unfortunately In my case it was vice versa
Man....I started listening to this video to get something out of it for myself and I did!!! To be honest with you....I don't even know you but to hear how your life was changed and you sharing your raw feelings and to hear your success is even more valuable then what I could get for myself.I'm so glad your doing good. Thank you Jesus!!!!
Wow I appreciate that buddy and I’m happy you found value in the video 🙏🏽🫡
I am starting a lawn care business this year. I work two jobs too and can barely make it. I will keep the job until business takes off, but this video inspired me to keep trying to start my own lawn care business. I want to work for my family and for myself.
You got this bro 💯 Just stay consistent and continue to learn and you’ll be just fine 💯🫡 It’s time to WIN!!!!
You speak the truth. Sometimes we need a little push. Thank you.
you’re welcome 🫡

Thanks for sharing your journey! I am in a somewhat similar situation as you were when you started. My wife and four kids are behind me. I am getting all of my “ducks in a row” and going to push as hard as I can late winter into the mowing season and looking forward to walking away from the dead-end job asap! Grace and Peace!
Your welcome buddy💯 I can’t wait to hear of your success next year 💪🏽 You got this bro💯💯💯
Honestly needed this … you’ll never understand the impact you have on people you’ll never see or meet…
Thank you buddy …I’m happy you found some value in the video 💯🫡
Damn brotha!!!! It’s like God put me on this video at the exact day that I was feeling a big ‘ol mixture of scared, defeated, desperate, Hungery.. MAN! Thank you my man!
He works in mysterious ways 💯…I’m happy to hear you got some value from the video 💯🙏🏽🫡
This video was a blessing to me. I’ve been doing my lawn care business full time for little over two years and it’s been rough these last few months, slow, a lot of downtime, losing customers but when I ran across this video and heard your story and saw your passion, it reminded when first started and how excited I was and the ideas and vision I had, they are all coming now and encouraging me. Thank you for posting this and may God continue to bless you and your business ✊🏽💪🏽
Im happy to hear that buddy!!! God bless you too and I wish you much success in the future 💯💯💯
I'm proud of you bro! I'm proud to call you my friend and excited to see where you go! With God's will, we'll build these brands to levels we couldn't even envision!
no doubt bro 👊🏽💯
I drive semi trucks for a living now. I use to cut grass and do landscaping with my stepdad growing up. Now for about a month I been picking up grass cutting jobs the grass out here is burnt due to no rain. Next year I’m hitting it full force.
Sounds like a plan 💯💪🏽🫡
Holy you made me cry Brother, im starting my lawn care business hopefully by the first week of April. Just dropped about 1100 and the last thing i need is a mower im going to start with a push mower and make my way up to a zero turn im 22 i am a union plumber just got married and my wife has my 6 on this. Thank you, you really gave me that little push i needed you gained yourself a new subscriber! Thanks alot man. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🫂
I’m happy to hear you’re getting started and have a good woman supporting the dream💯💪🏽 I can’t wait to hear about all your success 💯🫡
Dang bro I'm lit I'm going full-time in 6 months
You can do this too 💯👊🏽
Everyone told me the industry was too over saturated and my mom told me I need a real job. I'd done little jobs here and there but I never tried to get them on purpose until this year. I don't even have a truck I've been doing these jobs with my Toyota Sienna and my hand tools and some residential equipment similar to what you started with. It's going great I never imagined I could grow the way that I have. I have had dozens of jobs over the years and this one is different I never have to try more than once to get out of bed.
There will always be naysayers and no believers…God didn’t them your vision, HE GAVE IT TO YOU!!! Thats why they cldnt see it 💯 …I’m happy you continued to believe!!! IT’S ONLY UP FROM HERE BRO 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I am in same place i think I am going do it!!!! What templates are you talking about Mack?
@@rogerl8488 they are just things I’ve created and saved myself or purchased to streamline things like responding to emails or pricing etc.
Reminds me getting into a security guard job. Shtf on day 1, investigation, Courts, cleared 3 years later. Will never comeback to CA because of clear self defense needs to be proved
Thank you so much. Im taking the leap. I just lost my job and i dont have the heart to tell my family. But im gonna make this work. I’ve already been homeless once and i will not let it happen again. Getting a mower tomorrow.
You got this bro…Your family got your back 💯🫡
Needed this. I got out of the military to pursue my business recently. It’s been such a hard transition and I’ve started to lose that feeling I had in the beginning you spoke of. When I started lawn care I just knew it was what I wanted to do. This video put that spark back in me
Thank you for your service 🫡 …Im happy the video helped you get your fire back 💪🏽💯…You got this 💯💯💯
Great video, you’ll change many lives. Honored to be friends with you and rest of our Pittsburgh guys💪🏼
Thanks bro 💯👊🏽
Change your family's life man.... The most important words were the last words you said. Really enjoyed this video
I’m happy you enjoyed the video buddy💯🫡
You are Absolutely inspirational. I work seven days a week second shift With a wife and three boys 14 10 and 3 years old. I feel like I never see. I have a very good friend that is in the lawn care business. He does great, hes been telling me to get into it. And hes willing to help me out and set me up with some business of his own to get me started. I have been so back and forth on it but after watching your video I think i'm going to take my buddies advice Purchase equipment I need over winter. and hit the ground running this spring. Thank you
Sounds a lot like my life prior to starting my business… took some time & hard work but was so worth it …Just get started & before you buy equipment, get a website going and get on Google so you are ready for the spring rush..please do not rush into things n get payments on mowers or trucks before you have the work to use it on…the goal is STRESS FREE …and the 1 of the biggest causes of stress in this business is payments on equipment not being used …Just a lil advice…
YOU GOT THIS 💯 but you must plan for your success 🫡
@mack_landscaping412 Thank you sir for the advice ill get them set up. I am a weirdo tho I will not get loans unless absolutely Have no choice. if I cannot afford it with the money I have in my pocket then I don't need it. . I'm gonna try to dabble in snow removal this winter. I only have a snow blower and some ShovelsI will have to salt by hand. But I figure might as well get the ball rolling. Make it a side hustle with working full time Till Spring
Wow… what an awesome, heart touching testimony! I am a plumber and have done pretty well in my career, but I feel like I still can’t get over that hump to be financially free. My wife and I have struggled with making the decision to start my own business because of health benefits and such. I do side jobs every so often and know if I really get myself out there, I would do well. Thank you for this video, as I’m inspired by your testimony, and is what I needed to see to get the ball rolling. I can see in the video that you are still emotional telling your story! God Bless you my brother and keep up the good work. You inspired me. 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for the comment bro…I cant wait to hear about your success 💯💪🏽🫡
Awesome story brother!
Thank you 💯…Your channel is INSANE 🤯 Thanks for stopping by 🫡
@@mack_landscaping412 thanks dude!!
I've been wanting/debating starting my own small landscape business for roughly 10 years now thank u for this video an sense of hope
No better time than now💯 Lets get started💪🏽 You got this 🫡
Thank you my Brother ,I feel you,may God continue to bless you and your family.
Thank you my friend
Just became a subscriber, man, I don't think the grass business is your only calling. You have heart and your inspiration is amazing. That's what sets you apart. I don't know you but I can tell deep down your an amazing person. You keep pushing, talking on these videos and to customers the way you talk in this video and you have NO limits. Man, it was great watching how much heart you have in telling your story. I just started my Dumpster Rental, junk removal business early in the year. It's called Dump T Dump. I'm the same way, I Love meeting new customers and just talking to new people. Keep it up man, consider more inspirational speeches, you have a real calling for it and people just haven't heard about you yet, but you will be seen. Thanks man, you had me tearing up over the excitement for you and your family and your succeeding in what makes your world go round. I'm located in a small town in Yulee, Florida if your ever visiting, I'd love to meet you and just hang out. Thanks, Keith Dump T Dump LLC.
1st CONGRATULATIONS on starting your business..I hope your having a ton of success …Thanks for the support and encouragement 👊🏽💯
Amazing bro, I felt the same way as you did and my story is exactly the same, I was fed up and I decided to quite my job and start my lawn care company and I also had my wife’s back, the only difference is my story started May 2022, this was my first year of working on my own and leaving my job of 20 years and I crushed it, couldn’t be more happier and it’s all because of videos like yours that I’ve been watching every single day
Thats AWESOME to hear buddy…CONGRATULATIONS on starting your business…Im happy to hear your CRUSHING IT💪🏽💯…Keep up the good work bro👊🏽
I saw this video a little while ago, but it means a little more to me now. I quit a job making 6 figures 2 weeks ago to pursue my dream in landscaping. 100% stepped out in faith.
Thats 🔥…May all your dreams come true my friend 💯🫡 Happy for you buddy
most sincere and inspiring video I've ever seen on UA-cam brother... God Bless You
Thanks buddy 💯🫡
God bless you and your family and may you prosper in Jesus name amen 🙏 ❤
Thank you my friend 🙏🏽🫡
Dope story!! Mine is extremely similar, I still have my 9-5 though. I started in 2016. I was thinking about doing it in 2015 but didn't. I knew that lawn care would absolutely work when I realized that "EVERYONE HAS GRASS!!!" I knew from that point that my client base can be as big or as small as I want it to be. It's just me, no overhead except when I hire someone to help me with cleanups...other than that it's all me.
Big moves bro…Keep killin it homeboy 👊🏽
Awesome video.. I am inspired with your story Mack. Hope i can do it and quit my 9-5 job next year.
@@mack_landscaping412 How many clients do you now have, if you don't mind?
@@mr.reliable8123 I’m currently at 93 weekly clients …65% commercial 35% residential give or take
@@mack_landscaping412 😳😳 You DEFINITELY have to have a crew for that many clients. I have about 18. I keep it that low for a handful of reasons.
Great testimony. Satan tried to discourage you when you broke that foot but your faith only increased that much more. What the devil meant for evil has become the very means of his own defeat. Subbed when you quoted Romans. God is good.
Thank you and yes he is 💯🙏🏽🫡
God bless you men! You are inspiring. This is not about the job that you do, it is about how you take control of your life and change the life of peoples that listen to you!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽🫡
My man Cornell!! This UA-cam career is gonna work too. I feel the breakout coming.
Thanks homie 👊🏽 I’ll see you soon 💯
@@mack_landscaping412 hell ya man this video just showed up randomly. I started my lawn care business a couple months ago and never looked back. Much love everyone
Facts
Brother I’m sitting in tears. Just lost my job & I’m done never being home. Was about to give up & throw in the towel for good… but this is inspiring. Thank you brother. God bless your life & family. Stay safe.
Thank you buddy and I’m happy you found some value in the video 💯🫡
Update ???
@@mikelopez4148 update on me you mean?
Loved yours and Keith’s podcast a few weeks ago! Definitely implementing some of the things you talked about in my business in the coming weeks. Thank you for putting yourself out there boss!!
I’m happy you enjoyed the podcast💯💪🏽 I have a podcast too Lawn Care Power Moves w/ Mack & Steel…new episodes every Monday & Friday 💯🫡
@@mack_landscaping412 just subscribed on Spotify 💪
Felt this to my core. I’m in the same position you were in. And have been thinking about doing a lawn business as well. Thank you for this
Lets go💪🏽 …If I can do it, you can too💯🫡
The conviction you have is powerful. That is key for success.
🙏🏽🫡
I understand exactly where you’re coming from I been there. I knew back when lawncare wasn’t as popular as it is now. Started off in a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am with a push mower in the trunk. Cut grass part time while working a very good full time job. 2012 bone cancer played its part so I had to quit my job and let all my contracts go because I couldn’t do it anymore. So here I am with all this expensive equipment and couldn’t use it. Thank goodness everything was paid off so no worries there. But I tell you god is so good getting back in the grind of lawncare it’s like I’m starting from ground zero but I know god didn’t bring me this far to fail so I’m back off to the races.🙏🏾🙏🏾
Welcome back buddy💪🏽🔥🫡
This video is about a person who fought for his dreams despite starting badly at the moment, you are a great motivational person, thank you
Thank you my friend 💯🫡
I appreciate you, bro I’ve been wanting to start a lawn care business for few years now and I’m finally going to start because of your story
Lets go!!! 💪🏽 You can do it 💯🫡
Wow, keep on giving God praise and watch your platform multiply. Awesome brother
