@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

@TheTopRepost Its cool … Now you know for next time price wise.

@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?

@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!

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

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! 💤😴

@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

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

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

@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.

Lots of work hopefully happening today

@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.
