Busy week, thin bank account? Here's why...


Hey Reader

If your week is packed but your bank account still looks thin at the end of it, that's not a working-harder problem.

That's a running-the-business problem.

I see it all the time. Great mowers. Clean edges. Happy customers. But the cash just doesn't add up the way it should.

Usually it comes down to a few things:

— Pricing that covers the job but not the drive time, the admin, or the equipment wearing out

— A route spread across too many suburbs eating fuel and hours between stops

— No system for invoicing, so payments slip through the cracks when you're tired at the end of the day

None of it is complicated to fix. But it does take being honest about where the leaks are.

I wrote a full breakdown this week covering pricing, route density, hiring, systems, and the numbers that actually tell you if your business is healthy, not just busy.

Worth a read if you've been feeling like the wheels are spinning but you're not moving forward as fast as you should be.

It writes high-quality SEO posts for local business websites automatically. Run it long enough and you start ranking for a ton of local keywords without doing much at all. I've had it running on my main lawnmowing101 website...

Things can change People can move on, have a change in circumstances, Anything can happen. And that's when you get the breakup email, text, or call. Normally we ask, "Just for our records, can I get a reason for the cancelation?” The way they answer this question will dictate what we do next. If it's a money thing, we say we are sorry to hear that. call us back anytime and we ask for a review If they are moving, we wish them the best with their move and ask for a review. If we don't hear...

The robots are coming. You know, when I think of a cruise-y retirement, I used to think of sitting in a rocking chair, having a beer, and watching someone mow my lawn. Now that is the life…Nowadays I think a bit differently. The way the future is heading, I can probably look forward to a self-driving car among other wonderful things. But lately I have been thinking of a cunning PLAN… When I give up mowing lawns, I might just buy a bunch of robotic mowers and rent them out. That way I can just...
