🌱 The day the man in orange overalls came to town
|
"I guess this is the last time you will be mowing that lawn" ​ I knew it wasn't his lawn so I was understandably confused. So I asked him to explain. ​ This meant that I would no longer be able to mow the lawn I was working on. ​ Seriously?? I couldn't believe it. Now I had to explain that his territory was an agreement between him and his franchise. It had nothing to do with me or my business. It solely meant that there would be nobody else from his franchise working in that area. (assuming the master franchise would enforce it) ​ ​ Working away in his orange overalls. He always looked a bit grumpy when he saw me and never waved back and he disappeared within 6 months. ​ ​ Do this before you run out and buy a pair of orange overalls. ​ Stuart ​ |

You may be thinking that the economy isn't that great right now... And maybe you should wait for a better time. Honestly... If you keep waiting for that perfect moment, it is never going to happen. Even if you're working part- or full-time at another job... There's nothing stopping you from creating a side...
All too often I drive past a job and wonder what the lawn guy was thinking. The edges are poorly done... And there are random chunks of grass on the lawn. It looks horrible. I often walk my dog past a local business, and I've commented to my wife about the state of the lawns. I figured that it was because the business got a worker who didn't know much about lawn mowing to do the lawns. I was shocked to walk past the other day and see one of the largest landscaping companies doing the lawn....
