In today's episode, I had a chance to speak with an absolute genius in the green industry- Mike Andes.

For those of you who aren't aware, Mike owns an 8-figure green industry franchise, owns to software companies for the home-service industries, and has a massive following on social media, and is known for his much-needed point of view of profitability versus growth in our industry.

In this episode, we talked about his journey from starting college early to pursue a career in medicine, to lawn mowing business owner (including the near-death experience that lead him to transform his business), and gave tactical strategies to help you prepare better to run a better and more profitable business in 2025.

Are you trying to build a successful lawn and landscape business, but you’re always playing that yo-yo game of not enough work, and then not enough guys, and then not enough equipment, and none of it feels intentional- it’s all just growing when you can, sometimes making a profit, sometimes not?

If this sounds like you- you want to grow, but it all feels too sloppy, and like nothing is going according to what you were originally thinking, then this episode is for you.

In it, I’ll cover how to actually create a plan around intentionally building a business, year over year, that makes money, and grows how you want, when you want.

Have you had struggle after struggle with getting your employees to listen, stay the course, do the job right the first time, or do things in a timely manner?

What if the problem isn’t always your employees- what if the solution to many of your problems is something you can fix on your own?

Well, the problem isn’t always your employees. In fact, it rarely is.

It’s you.

Are you a leader worth following?

In today's quick episode, we talk about learning to lead in a way that inspires your staff to do the things you need them to do, and do more than just what you need them to do, but also go above and beyond, so the weight of your business isn’t just solely on your shoulders.

If you’re preparing for spring, and are realizing that you really need to replace some employees, you have some guys not returning or you’re growing and need more guys, but aren’t sure how to do it, when to start, and who to hire, this episode is going to be for you.

In it, I’m going to break down my strategy for how we are planning on staffing 4-8 brand new employees, from now in January to mid-April, and share some insight and things to look out for when hiring this many new guys.

Maybe you guys out there are running a business, where, while you are fine with where the business is at, and the work you do, you want to chase a little something more, but you can only do so much with the guys you have- your guys won’t magically change into superhuman A-players overnight, so how do you ensure that, even if the job itself is the same as any other company in your area, you are clearly a step ahead of the pack?

And how do you make sure that, while doing this, your business’ finances improve and your margin expands.

Here are the three things that have broken the glass ceiling for my business- all things that were thoughts, ideas, dreams, and big projects months ago, that ended up being the deciding factors of our success.

Do you see the internet gurus, and heck, even some of the big names on social media who run lawn and landscape businesses, talking about different softwares, and automated this or that, talking about how much time and money you could be saving, but you’re not really sure where to start?

Or maybe you’ve seen ads for this CRM or that CRM, and this software that promises to do this or that, and you just want to know how to offload basic tasks?

Then learning about the primary areas of your business that a software can help you streamline, and then picking the software platform that best fits your budget, your organizational structure, and your companies’ size is exactly what you need- which is exactly what I talk about in this episode...

Are you growing your business, but as it grows, especially with employees, the more work you do, the more clients you have, it just ends up being more and more hours and more and more fires for you to put out?

Or maybe things are good, not too hectic, and you finally have some really solid guys so life is fine, but...

-You want to get a lot farther than you are now, but you feel like there aren’t enough quality and knowledgeable employees available that you could even do that.

-You want to be able to take larger periods of time off

-You want your days and hours to be more consistent, so you can spend more time on what matters most

-Your employees are tearing down everything you worked so hard to build

Than this episode is for you.

Enjoy.
