Scott I’ve never seen someone so transparent about their earnings. Refreshing and interesting to hear how long it took you to get established. Great advice as always

This is by far the best explanation on the internet Scott 💯 Yes its not all about the money but on the same side, theres no point running a business if you're not making money!

Thanks Jordan. It’s a tough trade to be in with massive investment required but it can make money if it’s ran correctly.

Hi Scott. All makes perfect sense. Subjective in regards to overheads etc. We have to be good and efficient at what we do to earn the work and money. You have definitely earned it mate.
@scottellwoodgardening287 Жыл бұрын
Thanks mate. Overheads are something that only go up and we’ve got to monitor and match that with price increases but it’s a fine line.

The only way you can make reasonable money working for yourself is to have staff, though that comes with its own set of problems. Great videos as ever Scott, I'm looking forward to have a chat with you at saltex, Jason and myself are heading over. Staying at Faulty Towers again

It's a tough industry to make a decent profit especially in the domestic side, so I congratulate you for building a solid business. From my experience lawn care seems to be a race to the bottom, competing against guys who are not properly insured, trained or qualified, then taking on staff that are unreliable or do more damage to your equipment than the job pays. 😕
