Ben Toll has been busy building a business to give quality of life to people who are often treated as less than or inferior. When someone has a disability they are often written off by onlookers, family and certainly government who usually view them as a liability to the community. Ben has found that people in his community, immediate family and further afield can participate in lawncare at a comparable level to adults without the labels that otherwise indicate a disability. Let's drag your ears up to the hot and humid Darwin for a chat with this legend from our industry.

Caleb Hearn shares about the weather and the culture and his path to running a successful lawncare business with multiple employees.

Clint from Water Pro made time for me in his busy schedule so he could share some wisdom from his experience. His pursuit of business goals is evidence that his entrepreneurial side is on fire. His thought process leaves me spell bound as he is constantly thinking about how to improve and strategise whether we talk about his business or advice for listeners. I made the effort to get Clint to break down some of the basics of an irrigation system for those of you who are looking to do irrigation installs or repairs and we touch on Clint's role in the Master Landscapers of South Australia and the need to be licensed in landscaping work. Please keep in mind that Clint is speaking about South Australia and the different states may have different requirements.

Ben and I have remarkably similar experiences in business despite the geographical distance between us. Ben is working in a regional area where there is a significant variation in property sizes so he needs a 21" mower as well as a 42" zero turn.

Lets go talk to Ben about the Atherton Jungle… I mean juggle between solo and having an employee, targeting the kind of properties I have often undercharged and see how Ben handles it. Let me know if this interview helps your business to become more profitable or even if it just changes your mindset enough to make an impact.
