April 12, 2024 073. Are you a Grasscutter, Landscaper, or Businessman??
Nick and Kyle talk about a topic that came to them over the weekend. It stems from seeing grass cutters out over the weekend or on the way into work with companies sub $500k just working day in and day out mowing grasses. At this rate you are just a grass cutter. Landscapers is the next tier where typically the companies are running near $1 million. The peak is becoming a businessman where the business is running for you. What rate point are you at with your company?

April 05, 2024 070. A MASSIVE win we are excited to share! Small wins will equal a grand victory!
Our secret is out. Dawson Manufacturing made it to the Landscape Management Magazine cover. When Nick started to build Dawson Manufacturing he did it with this goal in mind and it is now a reality. The only thing is that it took a bunch of small victories to get there. MulchMate selling without a demo was definitely one of them. Another was the success at Equip. These little things have all lead to a grand result and hopefully one day a bigger and more bada** outcome. Check us out on Landscape Management Magazine.
