From time to time, I get people asking for my help to sell a lawn business.
I’ve sold more than a few over the years.

If I’m going to help, I want to know it’s actually a good business.
So I ask a few questions.

One of my first questions is:​
​“Why are you selling the business?”

Sometimes they say:
​“Just needed a change.”

I’ve heard that before.

So I start digging.

A few pointed questions later, and the real story comes out:

• The customers were underpaying
• The seller was completely burnt out
• The equipment was on its last legs

This is not a business; it's a disaster looking for a new home.

That’s when I have to tell them:
​I can’t help you sell this.

I’m not going to pass a broken business on to someone else.

And honestly…
​This happens more often than you’d think.

People sell a business and frame it as a “new chapter.”​
But if you look closer, here’s what you often find:

• Prices haven’t been raised in over a decade
• Customers are trained to expect free extras
• Or they’re broke, and this is their last hope

If you buy without asking the right questions,
you don’t just buy lawns.

You buy all their habits.
All their shortcuts.
All their problems.

You inherit everything
: the good, the bad, and the wildly underpriced.

That’s one of the reasons I created my membership.

It’s for people who want to build — or buy — a solid business
and skip the expensive mistakes that come from trusting face value.

I’ll show you:

• What to ask
• What to watch for
• And how to build a business that actually works

No guesswork.
No burnout.
No mess.

Because sometimes, the best investment you can make…
is knowing what not to buy.

Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun
