I’ve rung a few people and no one has shown up.

One thing I hear a lot when people call for quotes is: “I’ve rung a few people and no one has shown up.” It’s amazing that some businesses put their name out there, spend money on ads… and then drop the ball at the last minute. But you’d be surprised how often this happens. A company has lots of work. They’re busy. Then a call comes in: And this is where you come in. But you’re different. Don’t be like them. Be better. “Be Johnny on the spot, like a tow truck driver.” Here’s what I mean: Most contractors wait to return calls or schedule quotes when they’re already in the area. But if you’re the one who picks up the phone, shows up fast, and says: Simple as that. It’s not about being the cheapest. The customer called because they have a problem. And honestly, that applies way beyond lawn mowing. How many times have we lost out just because we hesitated?
The solution? Just show up fast. That’s what people remember. Do that consistently, and your business will grow much faster — while your competition is left wondering how you’re pulling it off. Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun Stuart Lawnmowing101 PS. Ready to hit $100K working just 20 hours a week? |

If the answer is no… You might want to think twice before proceeding. The longer I work with...
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...
