Recently Brad has been helping others get started in the lawn and garden industry. He offers consulting services to others who need help starting or refining their lawncare business.  We unravel what it is like to provide assistence to others and what Brad can help with.

In this episode Brad Hill and I talk about the tools and business strategies that work well in West Australia

VIP is one of the franchise options in Australia. They are competing with Jims Mowing and Fox Mowing. Why did Brad choose to start with VIP?

Initial area offered as exclusive to his franchise. Soft start up with no franchise fee until he was making an income. Franchisee assistance was perfect for Brad.

Brad is one of a select few in WA that chose to start with a Franchise. But his story gets more interesting than this.

We look at the pros and cons of starting a business with a franchise.

Gavin and I talk about addiction to susbstances and habbit. It can be a tough fight, even to recognise this in your life.

We also talk about his Kei Truck which won't suit all businesses, but for tight inner city access, it is impossible to beat.

Gavin has a bunch of tools that are unique to his gardening business and an amazing approach to battery.

We cover hourly rates and day rates, and profit and materials. Many valuable business numbers discussed and of course we talk about enhancing your business with Robot mowers.

Gavin had a rough start to life. He found his passion in gardening and more recently running his own business providing high end gardening and lawncare.

Trent gives us a run down on how he runs. The equipment he trusts in to keep him operating no matter what.

Trent and I do a double take as we examine what he has done that helps his business succeed and thrive. High end clientele and services to match. You don't see a lot of contractors on the East Coast offering lawn renovations, but when you do, I can garantee you that they know where the high value services are wanted
