Exploring the reasons why I dropped a $13,000 annual commercial contract. If you don't watch the whole thing before commenting or at least read the time stamps, you will never have a healthy lawn again.

Q: You are just lazy.
A: Please press the 'x' button at the top right of your browser for an instant reply. Alternatively if you are on your mobile device, hold your power button for 15 seconds for an instant reply from me. Joking aside, you didn't watch the video. Consider doing that or reading the description.
Q: You took advantage of that HOA by dropping them.
A: No one took advantage of anyone. After the contract expired, I was maintained month to month. That means either party can cancel the other with 30 days notice. Also, I thoroughly explain the economics and business reasoning I did this in the video (you should watch it).
Q: I would never drop that property because of....
A: As I said, this video is explaining the reasons I made this decision. I understand that might not be the decision you would make. I am not looking for you to approve or disapprove of my choice, simply provide you with information that may or may not be entertaining or informative.
Q: How much was this contract worth?
A: When I was in contract it was close to $1075 a month. After my 3% increase it was closer to $1110 a month. As of September 2020 I was month to month with no guarantee of future employment beyond 30 days.
Q: You didn't technically quit you blah blah blah...
A: Do you know how KZbin works? If I title this video "The Reasons I Decided to provide 30 days notice on an annual contract that expired in September 2020" I COULDN'T because I don't have that many characters and even if I could no one would click it. :D
Q: Aren't you worried this video will hurt your future business prospects?
A: No. If anyone wouldn't hire me because of this, their values/reasoning don't align with mine, which means they likely would not have been a good fit as a client.
Q: You should have just hired some employees instead of dropping it.
A: You didn't watch the video or read the description.
Q: Why didn't you just keep doing month to month until they dropped you? I would have!
A: You didn't watch the video.
