As this podcast becomes more about a few quality episodes than continuous series' and crazy guests, I wanted to just lay out a few principles I've discovered as I've pursued building the business that affords the life I want to build.

I hope this hits home with those of you just starting in your journey that have big dreams and aspirations, and those who are on the journey but are feeling frustrated with the lack of reward, despite the enormous pressures and stress.

Enjoy

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.

Enjoy!

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.
