Mowing In The Dark LAWN CARE Podcast

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

I have been thinking allot lately about who my mentors have been over the years. I have had physical mentors and I have had author and podcast mentors, people who don't even know they were my mentors. That is what I want to talk about today.

We,come back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

This week I finished reading a book titled It's Not Your Business by Gary Miller. The most challenging part of this book was a couple chapters on the book of Proverbs in the bible and the teachings of Jesus. The two seem to be oposed to one another. My conclusion of comparing the two is that following Jesus is always the best way and His way is always harder than anything else in the world, but its good. Let's talk about it.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

Technology has consumed our culture in America and it is only getting worse. Recently I found myself down the social media rabbit hole and it consumed my life. So in order to combat social media addiction I have started completely turning off my phone for 12 hours a day from 6 pm - 8 am. IT is amazing how freeing it feels to be doom scrolling on facebook for hours at a time. I sleep better, I am more present with my family, and I am way completing more business tasks than ever before. There is no phone call so important with lawn care that it can't wait until the work day.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

Today I was listening to the Fullerton Unfiltered podcast and something Brian said got me to look back on my first year of business as Sutter Brothers Lawn Care. If you didn't know I had a business in Lansing, MI for the last 10 years and shut it down when we purchased my childhood home that was located 50 miles away from Lansing. I started this lawn care season with just two lawn mowing clients. Now that we're in August I can say that I have 15 clients (these are very big lawns, 3-5 acres) and I am about half way to where I was when I closed down my business in Lansing. If you want to hear the rest of the story listen to the podcast. It is an amazing story.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

Recently I did a driveway project and I had bid plans for how this thing was going to go. I had it all planned out. I had the time of everything perfect in my mind and everything was going to run on schedule includng the delivery of 27 yards of crushed limestone. The only problem was that nothing went to plan. It was 104 degrees out side. My geo textile fabric got wrapped around my power rake drum, twice, and the limestone that I scheduled for 3 pm came at 12:30. This project did not go as planned.

I have been doing driveway repair for three years now and I have never done a new install. Well today that is going to change. Today I have a driveway repair job, but I also have a new install as apart of that driveway repair. Its a small install which is great for learning how its done.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

After moving my business from Lansing, MI to rural Michigan I thought route density wouldn't be possible. The lawns are just too far apart and too big for it. But I realized that route density is possible in rural areas it just look a little different, at least for my business.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

There are allot of things you can do with content, but the most important thing to remember is to tell a story with your content. You don't even need to say a single word to tell a story. Just look at black and white silent films. They are some of the most popular fims ever made because they tell a story without using words.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast!

One day Aaron found a wet spot in the yard and started wondering where this spot could have come from. After some searching Aaron realized the water was coming from the septic tank at his house. Aaron instantly went into a downward spiral about having to get the whole system replaced. Instead of jumping the gun and calling in a company to dig it all up, Aaron and his wife Renee, along with their son Marcus started digging to see if they could find the problem. Boy did they ever find a problem. To make a long story short, they snaked the drain field lines and removed over 60 gallons of nasty, smelly, grease! Hear the story in their own words as they tell the harrowing tail of They Removing 60 Gallons of Flubber From the Backyard.

In today's episode Aaron talks about the Psycology of Customers asking their lawn care provider to cut the lawn shorter. Is it just because they want the lawn shorter or is it something more?
