🌱 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 ​ |

Donna and I were chatting the other day about our dog. He’s an eleven-year-old German Shepherd with a few health issues. Thankfully, when we brought him home as a pup, we also signed up for pet insurance. Even better, that insurance has covered most of the big bills over the years.(As Donna puts it, “they definitely lost money on that deal.”) But even with their help, we still have to chip in. This latest round of meds was going to cost us an extra $100 a week. Donna, being Donna, said she’d...
You’re ready to go. You’ve got the gear. Now all you need is some calls. You build a website.Set up your Google Business Profile.Make a Facebook page. You introduce yourself in the local community group. Start posting. Start showing up and helping people. You talk to people you know and ask if they know anyone who needs help. Some say they’ll pass your name along, but it’s quiet. You print out some ads and tape them to the window at the bakery and the local dairy. You leave cards at the mower...
