@StealthQE4 Exact same for me. $98

Filled up this morning $4.50 🤦‍♂️

@KarenOUFan Absolutely!

@TheTopRepost What will be fun for you is when things really take off financially….and you get to gift an elderly person a service they need but can’t afford. You seem like the kind of man who looks to bless others. 🙏

Well, brush pile removal accomplished. What sucks is I way underbid the job, and it took way longer than expected. After all payroll and expenses paid, the business made a little under $300 for 2 days work. But, like my gf reminded me, sometimes it just be that way and I didnt lose money. It was a good lesson learned. Im still thankful, I have 2 more moving jobs and a pressure washing job on the schedule. But for now, im exhausted! Early to bed for me, I have lawns to mow tomorrow! P.S. Cole continued to step it up today. So far so good

@JustMeZuzu I do write everything down, right down to the very bolt and screw I use!

@TheTopRepost Its cool … Now you know for next time price wise. (you’ve got a notebook & you’re keeping track of all of this so you can price out for next years work … right!?! —- I wish I lived closer, I LOVE organizing this kind of stuff … By the way… U R doing great! 👍🏻 😀

@frogsinvegas I did not get paid, anything left over went into the business

@TheTopRepost Did Payroll and expenses include your pay? Or do you get paid from what the business made?

@Jefflf0365 Well said thank you

@TheTopRepost Glad you're finding business opportunities! Starting out rough is always part of the game. Busy, busy, busy until you get a scheduling priority together, which you will. Until then....stay hydrated and pray for enough. That's all you need, Brother. Enough...more just gets wasted.

@realnaholmes We win some and lose some, you’ll make it up. Still a lot of summer left!

Hoping to finish up the week strong after a not so good week. Got a 50 ton overlay to do today. Should be fairly easy and profitable. Annoying to do 28K in a week and still feel like it wasn't a good week.

@lgsguy @realnaholmes Expenses, payroll and overhead add up super quick.

@realnaholmes Why does it feel like that

@stevebob4212 Already working on it!

@TheTopRepost Sharpen that pencil 😊

@CatherineInSea Thank you Sea! Its all a learning experience for sure, have a great evening!

Hey Dean! We’ve all had those jobs that took a bit more than expected, but your attitude is exactly what makes your business successful! 🙋‍♀️ Keeping a positive outlook and keeping the schedule full is the name of the game. So happy for you that Cole is doing well. Sleep well—you’ve earned it! 💤😴

@KSSTH20 It was a good learning experience, and the customer has 4 more piles for me to remove that I will plan accordingly

@TheTopRepost I think we’ve all done that when starting in on a business and underbid something. It ends up taking twice as long as we figured and we know we screwed ourselves. You will make it up the next job.

@Kevin19625 I actually went against the troy bilt. Not because it got a lot of bad reviews, but with the amount I now mow and anticipate mowing in the future, I took the advice from most everyone to save my pennies for a good commercial zero turn

@TheTopRepost Did you decide to the the Troy Built mower?

@StateofUnrestUS Lol I wish, im 6'6", 280lbs, I need to take a hot tub lol

@TheTopRepost 👏👏👏👏👏 Nice hot bubble bath is in order!

@realnaholmes Yes and that stings for you because you have a lot more employees and overhead than I do!

@TheTopRepost Hurts so bad when that happens. I made a couple grand but I normally try and clear several more on a job like this.

This one kicked my rear. I way underpriced it. Ran into a few things I wasn’t expecting and the prep work took forever. We had tons of handwork to do which actually went well and came out well. The new guys did great.

Off to remove more brush piles! Have a great day everyone!

@HerAlterEgo You know them tricks too :)

@TheTopRepost When I was in the middle of building my house (14 subcontractors) I slipped the tile guy an extra to put in a 2nd shower shelf & he used it to buy his guys lunch. It paid back in spades when I needed an undesirable looking tile pulled up from the center of the floor & relaid.

My butt is kicked. I can’t even begin to explain how hard we worked today, and STILL didn’t finish lol. But Cole (the new guy) kept right up!! If I didn’t work him too hard, hopefully he will stick around lol. Back at it tomorrow!

@DKemp45107 Hahaha love that

Mwahaha

@CatherineInSea Good night!
