Rob. Firstly, thank you for an awesome, informative, and inspiring channel. I've been following you for a while now, musing over whether to bite the bullet and do it, and I've just searched to find your first ever video, watched it, and I *think* I've decided that I gonna take the plunge. Terrified of course. Uncertain as to whether I can make a decent living from it and pay the bills. But excited all at the same time. I'm using you as a mentor 😆. Taking your tips and positivity to fuel me into action! Might even do a KZbin channel documenting my journey from corporate monkey to self employed lawn care junkie. So much to learn. What do I do in winter? What do I charge? What kit do I need? I know it's all in your channel so off I go to binge-watch. Thanks again and have a brilliant day!
