“Why I’m ONLY Doing Quotes In My Landscaping Business On Monday’s Now”

Implement batching for quotes: Consolidate all client quoting into one or two dedicated days a week to improve efficiency and work-life balance.

Prioritize legitimate business operations: Ensure you have full insurance, worker's compensation, and payroll as soon as possible, and factor these costs into your pricing.

Be strategic with price increases: Gradually raise prices, perhaps starting with a 'split test' approach on specific clients, rather than all at once, to avoid losing too many customers.

Invest in company culture: Create an environment where employees feel valued and motivated, as this is key to attracting and retaining reliable staff.

Communicate effectively with loved ones: Be transparent with your family about the demands of starting and growing a business, and actively dedicate 'pure present undivided attention' to maintain relationships.

Embrace the 'throw mud at the wall' approach: Especially when starting out, continuously pursue new clients and opportunities, understanding that not everything will stick, until you find the 20% that are a good fit.

Upgrade your standards: Continuously improve your personal and professional standards to attract better employees and clients, leading to higher levels of business success.
