🌱One-off lawns are a trap (unless you do this)


There’s this guy I worked with once—good lawn mower, hard worker.
But every week, he was chasing new jobs like a golden retriever after tennis balls.

Lots of one-off jobs. No system. Just constant hustle.

He couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t getting ahead.


Here’s the truth: most guys in this industry stay stuck because they treat every one-off mow like a one-night stand.
They don’t follow up.
They don’t plant the seed for repeat work.
They just mow, smile, and hope the customer calls back.

Spoiler alert: they don’t.


You want progress? You want regular clients?​
Keep it simple.

I don’t sit and hope they will want another cut
Nothing is going to happen without you being pro active.
​I send them a magic text.

Two weeks after a one-off job, I message the customer.
Friendly, low-pressure, and clear:

“Hey, if you want it done again this week, it’s $X.”

That’s it.

If they say yes. I mow the lawn again.

Two weeks later, I send the text again.

Send that three times, and most of them turn into regulars.

Thats not the only text I use. I have plenty more to make your business run like a well oiled machine.

I was working with someone the other day — let’s call him Dave. Now, Dave’s not real. But he might as well be. Because I’ve met him a dozen times. He’s been running his own lawn biz for a few years. Started off excited. Wanted freedom. Wanted to make good money and live the life. Instead? He’s working 50 hours a week. Chasing late payments. Mowing for clients who always want “just one more thing.” Weekends off? Not likely Time with the kids? Not unless he finishes edging that jungle on Willow...

One thoughtless moment killed the sale. We’d been using the same tyre shop for years. But the service had been slipping. Jobs that didn’t quite get done right. Prices creeping higher. Little things adding up. So when one of our tyres needed replacing, I decided to try somewhere new. This new place looked promising friendly staff, great smoko room, fire going, coffee on, the works. The worker checked the tyre. “Want to replace both or just one?” I asked if it would pass the warrant. “Yeah, it...

We had no work, no money and Christmas was coming. At least we had $1,000 on a credit card that was going to get us through. Or did we? I spent the last $1,000 we had on a mower, a trimmer, and a blower. I pulled into the driveway, opened the trunk, and started unloading. My girlfriend (now wife) came out. She looked at what I had bought. Then she looked at me. Her face said it all. “What... is that?” I told her I’d spent the last of the money. She just stood there.Silent. Then came the...
