What you don’t know can and will hurt you! I talk about knowing your numbers and how the majority of mowing companies can’t even tell me how much profit they made last year and are currently making. We discuss collecting from clients and how we collectively as a green industry need to up our standards. WE GET WHAT WE TOLERATE. Shame on us for tolerating too much... Being nice doesn’t mean doing work for free or loaning a client money by mowing for free the whole year until they finally decide to haggle with us and cut us a decent check...... Don’t get me started..... I also explain in painful detail our lawn program that we use here @greenagainlawn Finally, after all that free content we also allow you a behind the scenes access to one of our team meetings around fault and responsibility. It may or may not be our fault, the fact is it happened and it’s our responsibility how we will respond.

Personal growth meeting “Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:2-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://www.bible.com/116/rom.5.2-4.nlt Margin and The slingshot principal Going backwards before or you can go forwards Going backwards- two people get to a mountain, one guy says well we don’t have any shovels but I think the shortest distance to the other side is to go through the mountain let’s just start digging by hand, the other guy says no let’s backtrack and go around.

Mowing Profit Vs Lawn Application Profit I take a phone call from Nate Riley of Riley Brothers Lawncare. In this conversation we discuss my viewpoints on why mowing may feel better for cash flow in the short term, but lawn applications are better profit. We also talk about the reasoning behind these price differences. Luxury vs necessity, ease of entry into the business, education, equipment, application practices and technical skills that allow you to be viewed as a professional and not a laborer. To Scale or not to scale! We also deep dive into one stop shop companies, margins, profit, expanding into different services and how mowing cash flow pays differently than lawn applications.
