Lawncare Leaders

A documented casual conversation with my long time friend Zach Miller. We go over big picture ideas when dealing with your business budgeting. The pain of change, margin in your life, millennials in the work place and not raising lifestyle as top line revenue increases. Zach was a business auditor for a top firm in Carmel, Indiana. He recently relocated to his hometown of Connersville, Indiana where he took a job as CFO of Keener Construction. ————————————————————————————————————————————————Thanks to our sponsors EVERGROW Marketing - A digital marketing agency specific to the Green Industry. ————————————————————-JOBBER - Ditch the notebook and manual way you are billing.
