When you have someone who has never sold lawn accounts before dealing with someone who has never bought them... In the early days, I sold some accounts to people that I shouldn’t have. That changed pretty quickly. It’s not always what you think. The biggest mistake I see?

Less gas wasted. ✅ Maintained my equipment with clean air filters, sharp blades, and proper...
When you're just starting out, it's easy to feel like you're already behind. The big guys have flashy trucks, commercial-grade gear, and full-time admin staff handling their bookings. You? You're loading a mower into your personal car, hoping everything fits. But here's the thing most people miss: You can beat the big guys by being faster, leaner, and hungrier.
