The Limitless Landscapers Podcast

Ever wondered how a landscaper could transform a barren digital land into a flourishing online garden? Well, in this podcast episode, Kendall from Builder Story share secrets on the often underestimated powerhouse of a tool: the website.

Kendall believes the website is the lead domino in the landscaping world. Picture this: leads rain down like confetti, but the website is the grand stage where the magic happens. Forget about the rise of social media; the website is the unsung hero. It's like the backstage pass that lets you control the narrative, strategically distributing information to captivate potential clients.

Navigating the website labyrinth

Kendall points out common pitfalls: the overwhelming, all-in-one showcase or the barren wasteland that leaves you wondering, "Who are these people?" His advice? Less is more. Direct your audience to the sweet spots — showcase your best work, keep it concise, and, most importantly, add the "get in touch" button on every page.

All about testimonials

While Kendall doesn't believe in sending potential clients on a wild social media goose chase, he's all about testimonials. Forget outdated written ones; video testimonials are key to the landscaping world. Real, authentic, and captivating, they add a touch of glamour to your website, transforming potential clients into raving fans.

Content strategy

Our guest emphasizes that the secret is repurposing. From drone videos to behind-the-scenes construction chaos, every snippet is a potential for your content list. Don't wait for the perfect moment; start collecting now.

In the world of marketing, relationships are very important. It's not about a massive social media following; it's about meaningful connections. Shout it from the rooftops; your landscaping journey has begun. Tell everyone, because you never know where your next project might sprout from — maybe your mate's auntie's brother knows someone who needs a landscaper.

Your website is the gateway, your connections are the foundation, and your journey is unique. If you're a landscaper starting out, don't overcomplicate it; keep it real, keep it authentic, and remember that, just like a garden, your business will bloom with the right seeds.

This week on The Limitless Landscapers Podcast, I'm sharing my journey of setting intentions for 2024. Reflecting on 2023, I've learned valuable lessons, like not saying yes to everything. I'm leaving that behind. Also, I'm leveraging sobriety for a clearer mindset.

Now, three weeks into the year, I know it might feel a bit slow or even challenging for some of you. It happens, trust me. Personally, I've been reflecting on 2023, and it feels like ages ago, even though it's just been a few weeks. Lessons learned, mistakes made, victories celebrated – we've all been there.

One big lesson for me was about trust. Trusting people and avoiding hasty decisions without due diligence have been pivotal lessons for me. It's incredible how these lessons, while seemingly small, have a profound impact on our lives and businesses.

Another crucial aspect is leaving things behind. For instance, I've decided to bid farewell to being a "yes person." Saying yes to everything, just to please others, is no longer my game. It's about setting boundaries, respecting my time, and ensuring that every yes aligns with my genuine desires.

2024 is also about leveraging what worked in 2023. Personally, I'm leveraging my sobriety. I hit the one-year milestone of not touching alcohol. It's given me clarity, resilience, and a better understanding of myself. I'm taking this momentum into 2024, aiming to be a better version of myself.

Now, looking ahead to this year, what do you want? I want to win my bodybuilding competition in September, grow my business teams, and attract quality leads. But the key is not just the what, it's the why. My desire to win the competition isn't just about victory; it's about embracing the challenge, testing my limits, and exploring new opportunities in the fitness world.

And hey, what about something scary? For me, it's standing on that competition stage. It terrifies me, but it's a challenge I'm drawn to. What's your scary thing? That project, that stage, that opportunity that your brain tells you to avoid? Embrace it – it might just be your ticket to the next level.

Lastly, let's talk about energy. The energy you bring to your goals matters. For me, it's all about confidence. The belief that I've already won, the energy of a pure athlete. It might sound a bit mystical, but trust me, the energy you embody shapes your outcomes.

Reflect on 2023, set clear intentions for 2024, and infuse them with the right energy. Oh, and here's a fun twist – choose a word for the year. Mine? Winning. Winning at life, in every aspect. What's yours? Share it with me on Instagram @thelandscaperscoach. Let's make 2024 our year of victories!

In this episode, I want to chat with you about something we all experience, especially in January, the rollercoaster of inspiration in our landscaping businesses.

As we hit the second week of January, I know that initial burst of motivation might be wearing off a bit. We start the new year with grand plans, but then reality kicks in. The routine sets in, the kids are back at school, and suddenly, we're juggling time again.

I've been feeling it too, and I bet some of you are in the same boat. So, let's talk about how we can keep that inspiration alive and well throughout the year.

First off, inspiration doesn't have to cost a thing. A quick Google search for business or landscaping inspiration can lead to a wealth of ideas. Read blogs, like the weekly ones on TLC, covering a range of topics. This week's blog, for instance, explores how Landscape Business Magazines can be a goldmine of inspiration, offering industry trends and business strategies.

Now, I want to share some books that have been game-changers for me. There's "Manifest 1 and 2," all about manifesting your dream life – a topic I'm passionate about. "Systemology" has been helping me streamline my landscaping business systems. And for mindset shifts, "You Are a Badass" and "Chillpreneur" are must-reads.

Podcasts are a constant source of motivation for me. I love listening to content creators and motivational speakers. Carrie Green, from the Female Entrepreneurs Association, and Diary of a CEO are among my favorites. Of course, I hope you're a regular listener to this podcast – the Limitless Landscapers podcast!

Webinars are another fantastic resource. I used to host them when I was The Landscaper Circle, and they're an excellent way to learn from experts. But a word of advice: choose webinars that truly matter to your business. Live sessions are better than recordings – believe me; I've signed up for many and rarely watched the recordings.

Excitingly, I've got some collaborations in the pipeline, so stay tuned on my social media for updates. And speaking of learning, consider online courses and programs. They can give you that extra push to develop your skills and boost your confidence in your business.

Don't underestimate the power of events. Whether industry awards, like APL in March, or local business gatherings, they provide opportunities to learn, network, and collaborate. Attending these events has often reinvigorated my passion for my business.

Now, mentors and coaches – they've been absolute game-changers for me. Having someone to guide you, hold you accountable, and provide that much-needed boost can make a huge difference. I've got three mentors for different areas of my life, and they've been instrumental in my journey.

Surrounding yourself with positive people and creating an inspiring environment is vital. Upgrade your circle, and if your workspace doesn't inspire you, change it! Inspiration often comes from bursts of insight, so actively seek out those bursts. Just recently, a creative idea sparked during a call with a content creator. Collaborative conversations can be incredibly motivating.

As we navigate through 2024, remember, you're in control of your journey. Check out previous podcast episodes and blogs for a timeless dose of inspiration. Stay motivated and stay inspired!

Ever felt like your new year's resolutions were sinking by day four? In this episode, I share my journey through the beginnings of 2024. I share the chaos, the wins, and the unexpected beauty that comes with embracing imperfection. This episode is a rollercoaster you won't want to miss.

I kick things off by sharing my grand plans for the Christmas and New Year shutdown, only to be hit with a whirlwind of unexpected events – family illnesses, late-night decorating sessions, and the not-so-speedy assembly of a supposedly two-hour bed. As I grappled with the guilt of not sticking to my perfect routine, I'm here to shout out loud: It's okay not to be perfect.

I share my reflection on my business wins in 2023 – new office, soft landscaping services, and a stellar year-end figure. But hey, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I also fess up about my dismal enquiry tracking skills, realising I've been way off the mark. Lesson learned: accurate tracking is a game-changer.

This reflection time has led to goals goals being set and the need for my business to run smoothly without me for three weeks (at least - find out why by listening in). Cue the need for systemisation, improved sales processes, and a rock-solid CRM system. It's a journey from chaos to structure, and this is my behind the scenes share at the very start of a new year.

However, I do wrap it up with excitement for a planning session with Mike, I hope to leave you with the contagious optimism that 2024 is our year to shine.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in that weird post-Christmas, pre-New Year limbo, wondering how to tackle the impending year like a boss? Well this is the episode for you because I have a scoop on all things planning, reflecting, and setting goals as we waltz into the New Year.

So, what's the deal with taking a break during this unique shutdown period? It's the one time you can enjoy a disturbance-free hiatus, free from the incessant calls and on-site dramas. It's some well-deserved downtime, possibly sprinkled with a bit of 'me time'—because why not?

My game plan for my landscaping business is to reflect on the wins, silver linings, and lessons of the past year. Forget resolutions; let's talk plans and goals for 2024. And hey, no pressure to have it all figured out by January 1st. Life's too short to stress about New Year's Eve deadlines, am I right?

Now, let's get down to business, quite literally. Things that I will be working on this break is; cashflow forecasting, marketing strategies, and the nitty-gritty of terms and conditions to ensure the business is ship-shape come the New Year. And here's another tip: don't forget those award entries; after all, who doesn't want a shiny new trophy on their shelf In 2024?

As for my personal life adventures this is also important when looking ahead to 2024. I brace myself for a year of bodybuilding competitions—simultaneously exciting and terrifying. Because nothing says 'New Year, New Me' like sculpting the perfect physique, right? I am completely aware that this will affect what my plans are for my businesses which is why when it come to planning for 2024 we need to look at personal goals too.

Finally, I am looking into a new CRM system, better project management, and systems! A shout out to Nicola from Systemology for her support on this, because who wouldn't want their business running like a well-oiled machine?

So, whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just dipping your toes into the business world, listen to this episode to get the lowdown on navigating the weird period between Christmas and New Year with style.

Ready to dive into the wild world of goal setting with me? Whether you're knee-deep in paperwork, we all need a plan to make our dreams blossom. In this week's podcast, we're discussing the secrets of goal setting for 2024.

Reflecting on 2023: A Wild Ride Through Dry Days and Paperwork

2023 has been a rollercoaster, right? It's time to reflect on the year gone by, especially as we approach the final month. Who knew time could fly so fast? So, grab your landscaping gloves, and let's get into it!

Decide, Why, and Write: The Trio of Goal-Setting Power

Step one: Decide on your goal. Easy, right? Not so fast. I'm warning against picking goals out of thin air. We're not here for superficial aspirations.

Step two: Connect your goal to your why. Why? Because goals without purpose are like a garden without sunlight—lifeless.

Step three: Write it down. This isn't a love letter; it's your future. Use a spreadsheet, vision board, or carrier pigeon if that's your style. Make it real!

Sharing is Caring: The Power of Vocalizing Dreams

Ever blurted out a crazy idea to a friend and suddenly felt committed? Welcome to the magic of sharing goals. Whether it's with a coach, a friend, or your cat, vocalizing your dreams makes them real. Once you say it out loud, you're committed to watching it grow.

Break it Down: Because Big Goals Need Baby Steps

Let's talk about those big goals, like hitting a 500,000 turnover. It's not a sprint; it's a marathon. Break it down. What's the deadline? How are you getting there? Think SMART—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Got it? Now, let's dissect those goals!

First Step: The Leap Towards Goal Glory

You've got the plan; now, what's your first step? Are you tackling marketing, sales, or hiring a guru? Don't procrastinate; start sooner rather than later. If you wait for the perfect moment, your goals will be collecting dust.

Keep On Going: The Marathon Mentality

Struggling? Feeling overwhelmed? The landscaping business path is not always paved in gold. Reach out for support. Your first idea may not be the winning seed. It's okay. Business is a wild landscape—up, down, and sometimes tangled in thorns. Get the support you need.

Celebrate Every Victory: A Toast to Your Green Thumb

Celebrate every small step. Success is a journey, not a destination. Don't rush to the next goal without appreciating the beauty of what you've achieved. And gratitude? It's the fertilizer for your future success.

Let's Toast to 2024 and Blooming Gardens!

As we approach the end of 2023, let's start on this journey together. Use my 8-step guide to sculpt your 2024 goals into masterpieces. Whether it's a lush garden or a thriving landscaping business, the principles are the same—plan, commit, adapt, and celebrate. Cheers to 2024, the year of blooming dreams! 🌱💪

 Ever been stuck in a garden with a financial weed problem? In this episode, we’ll unearth the secrets of maintaining a flourishing landscaping business. I'll take you through the winter chill and the warm embrace of solid cash flow strategies. 

Why you should take deposits! 

Because in the frosty days, when gardens hibernate, your cash flow shouldn't. But here's the twist: some folks still shy away from this golden rule.

There are clients who perform the vanishing act, leaving your business hanging. But, guess what? If you've got a deposit, that's a shield against garden ghosts.

Let me share my magic number – 25%. 

It's not just a deposit; it's a fortress. Large enough to deter cancellations, sturdy enough to cover the initial project costs. But if they opt out, the deposit in hand will be yours, it's a win for you!

Cash flow is always on the tip of my tongue. It's the king, the emperor, the regent of all businesses. So, learn the art of deposits, and watch your financial garden bloom.

In a world where people try to save a buck, clients may test the waters.

Let me share my own "client tests." Did they want to pull out? Sure. Did I hand back deposits? Not a chance. Hold your ground! As I recall, clients are sometimes just trying it on, seeing if you'll dance to their money-saving tune. Spoiler alert: you don't have to!

I experienced a a client who played hardball with the deposit. A friend of a friend, a local job, and a whole lot of drama. Lesson learned? Stick to your guns. I, in my wisdom, even lowered the deposit and got tangled in a payment saga. Low deposits can haunt you.

Entering my paperwork wonderland

Take note of the magic trio: client paperwork, terms and conditions, and payment schedules. 

My secret? Chunking it up. Like a well-planned garden, each payment aligns with the project timeline. It's not just a payment schedule; it's a symphony of cash flow, a masterpiece of financial gardening.

One last tip, charge for site visits. It won't make you a millionaire, but it's a ticket to the right clientele. After all, those who invest in you tend to stick around.

Let's cultivate our cash flow one deposit at a time. Because in the kingdom of landscaping, cash is not just king; it's the unrivaled ruler.

Want help with any of this? Drop me a DM, email or book a time on my online calendar for a call just head to my website.
