I get asked so often whether or not I think you should add employees or just keep your lawn business low key and stay solo. I believe you should have some labor help in your lawn business. I think there are just too many advantages to having some employees in your lawn care business, BUT there is no denying there are a certain set of advantages that solo lawn care operators have that bigger businesses do not. We're going to discuss the main advantages to staying solo as a lawn care business.
MY STORY: In 2016 I had been in law enforcement for 7 years.
I was not in control of my schedule, I was hardly making any money, and I was away from my family working nights and holidays. I was capable of more, and I was silently suffering. I knew I was selling myself and my family short.
I started Florida Turf Pros as a side hustle in 2016 before going full time in 2017.
My lawn business changed my life.
I control my own schedule, control my own income, and I am proud of what I have built; a business that supports me, my family, and some employees.
If you are a lawn care business owner, this channel will be a valuable resource for you.
This really is a great industry to be in, and I hope that by documenting my journey it will help you.
