Here is the thing if you cant handle it to bad. Not everyone has the motivation and desire to go out there and sell. This is what it takes to grow a business. This ramp thing is just an exuse to keep putting off tomorrow what needs to be done today. What stops people from going out there and doing it is fear. You are afraid to put yourself out there and do it. No one likes rejection. How you overcome fear of rejection is when you know that you are the best at what you do. I dont do lawn care i do commercial floor waxing. I know i am the best at what I do. Took 30 years but I am now there. I no longer fear going to new customers and selling myself. Its all in your mind. Get your mind right and you can succeed at anything.

SUGGESTION: I wonder if your Lowest Revenue Location has considered the following? If he is going to start his work day at 10am... Spend early morning hours (ie 8am-9am) doing business administrative tasks, business meetings, training, and/or equiptment maintenance. And 9am-9:45am canvasing for new nearby customers either by mail, or door hangers, and returning calls for prospective customers? Each door hanger should provide an individual quote for any work that appears to need attention. Avoid burn-out. If you can only hang 20-doorhangers, in 45-minutes, that ok... At least you are making an effort. ALSO, don't try to sell services that you aren't confident to do because you lack the equiptment or you are nervous that the equiptment will fail while on the job. Also, Finnish your last yard for the day with a 30-minute wash down, and 5-15-minutes of relax or meditation (reflecting on each lawn that was done that day). The goal is to not get burned-out, to accelerate time management/efficiency, and to grow the customer base. Worse case scenario, he refers excess jobs to a competitor until he is capable to expand.

I bought the very Bare Bones equipment, push mower, weed eater and blower. Now all I need is the accounts. Can’t do door hangers in my area so only able to do advertising from word of mouth, work ethic and one 3x6 banner

What I mean is put the advertisements on the garbage can preferably after the garbage guy already took it to make sure they hold on

ken is doing what is known as over toying the business... hes doing a lot of whats called busy idiot work... obsessing over an invention,spending money and time on it ,not even as the fabricator, thats totally fruitless. just get a dang mow trailer, sell the junky overly fancy three mowers and buy two ferris hydrowalks, one big one and one small one. push mow the smaller ones. ive run crews, and had my own accounts, making money in mowing is all about simplifying, and routine. hes way over toying the business. he needs to just do it as a hobby, and go get a job to fund it and pay his bills.
