Mowing In The Dark LAWN CARE Podcast

If you are watching any lawn care social media you will probably see all the creators telling you that you need the biggest and best leaf removal setup to be "the most profitable". The problem comes when you may not need that huge leaf removal setup. You may only need a backpack blower. Today I am talking about the top 3 leaf removal setups for the solo lawn care business and you may be surprised by number 3.

If you are like me you probably felt like people thought you were dumb when you were younger. Maybe you have learning disabilities and didn't do good in high school. Maybe your own parents told you that you are dumb and you won't amount to much. I am here to tell you, YOU"RE NOT DUMB! You may need to learn in a different way, but you're not dumb. You might even consider yourself dumb, but I do not believe that you are dumb and I don't believe you have to stay feeling as though you are dumb. Today Aaron talks about the Lawn Care University. What it is and how to use it so that you become a well rounded business owner and person.

Our culture today tells men specifiaclly that if they aren't making 150k - 200k per year that they aren't worth anything. That is a lie, but because so many people believe this we have a whole culture that is out there trying to get the bag and leaving their family in the dirt whether they realize it or not. Today's episode talks about hustle culture and the damage it did to my family and what I had to do to fix it.

A good runner never stops envisioning the finish line. A great runner fixes his eyes on the finish line but also thinks about all the little machanics of running from his shoes to each foot fall. Trying to move the body as efficiently as possible to waste the least amount of energy. This is not what I did in my lawn care or driveway repair business.

Many solo lawn care business owners have the belief that they can't take a vacation in the middle of the summer. They think that if they do it will negatively impact their business and cause them to fail. A vacation is NOT what is going to cause your business to fail. In fact, if your business fails because you take a vacation, there is something else wrong with your business.

I recenty had to go back and resurface a gravel driveway that I put new gravel on last year. This was a huge mistake in my business and resurfacing cost 3 times as much as the original job. The real kicker is that I had to cover all the cost of the new aggregate. This was such a costly mistake, but instead of ignoring the problem or trying to find a way to get the client to pay for my mistake, I just manned up and took it on the chin. How should we handle major mistakes in our business?

The bigger companies will tell you that you need employees because if you get hurt your business will fall apart. A a solo operator for over 12 years now I can say this is not the truth. You do NOT need employees to keep your business running if you get hurt.

The truth is rural lawn care is just different than city lawn care. The lawns are bigger and farth apart and the people are different too.

The first hell week of the season has begun. I call the first week of the season hell week one because I'm out of shape and I am having to do more clean up than I would like. Hell week 2 comes when the grass goes to seed mid May. The Spring rush has also begun and believe it or not it can kill a business if your not careful. Taking on too much work is just as bad as not having enough work when your solo. But there is a way to escape the trap and build a lasting business and a stronger business through the Spring rush.

There are so many businesses who have lost their Google Business Listings over the last few years do to the integration of AI at Google. But there is a way bit of a way around it so that you can still achieve the #1 ranking on Google without a Google My Business listing.
