100 lawns nearly broke me.


I always thought the answer to growth was always mowing more and building my business larger.

I would aim for a lawn every 40 minutes, around 12–14 lawns a day.
I would stack my days higher, keep pushing, squeeze it all in.

But when I hit 100 lawns on the books, it started hitting roadblocks.

  • Rain delays set me back days.
  • Some lawns were underpaying.
  • And the travel time? A nightmare.

I was all over the place.
I was “busy”… but my income had hit the wall.

That’s when I decided that things had to change.

Instead of adding, I started subtracting:

  • I sold off the lawns I didn’t want.
  • I raised prices on the ones that weren’t worth it.
  • And I focused on condensing my round, tighter routes, higher-paying jobs, and less wasted time.

Here’s the crazy part:

I now earn the same as before, just working 20 hours a week.

I could double my hours (and income), but I’m happy with a business that suits my lifestyle.

The lawns are better.
The schedule is lighter.
And I’m not chained to the mower sunup to sundown.

Inside the membership, I’ll show you exactly how I did it—
So you can work less, earn more, and enjoy the business again.

Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun

There’s a saying in marketing:People need to see your brand seven times before it sticks. And in the lawn care world, most of those “seven times” happen when you’re not even thinking about marketing. Like when you’re out there mowing a lawn in a branded shirt. Your truck might be parked down the street, but they will still know who you are. While you are just mowing the lawn. But someone walking their dog… someone peeking through the window… a curious neighbor glancing over the fence… They...

When you're just starting off, you want to say yes to everything. And honestly, if you've got the gear, you're confident doing the work, and it helps pay the bills? Then go ahead. Take the job. I did the same. In the early days, I was doing a bit of everything. Mowing, hedging, pressure washing, the odd bit of garden cleanup. If someone asked, I said yes. But as time went on, I started to see the cracks. Some jobs were a pain. Some didn’t pay that well. Some required gear I barely used, just...

When I first started my lawn mowing business, I thought I was being smart with my money. I found a cheap van for sale. It looked good, and I was imagining how much better it would look with a bit of sign writing. It ran fine during the test drive — and it would be perfect for mowing, I thought. So I bought it. About a month later, the engine blew up. Completely stuffed. No warranty. No recourse. Because it was a private sale. I was gutted. It felt like a kick in the guts, especially that...
