Man you inspire me, I'm 23 i was working with a electric motor company paying me $14 staring off i worked for about a year and barely last year I quit and started working full time with my dad because I just always wanted to have our own business and I love what I do now been doing it on the side with him since I was like 15 lol he had only about 18 accounts because of he English is not that good but when I joined him we're barely at 30 and I know we can grow slowly but surly, but your vids do help man thanks 👍🏽
Love the videos! just starting out myself. have 1 client for 10+ yrs I just started working nights and started buying equipment last year. Definitely crawling but I enjoy it and am hoping to get going soon. I would rather make the world more beautiful than destroying it and that's all part of lawn care and landscaping, you guys and others have inspired me!
You have such a great attitude. Glad you made it through the tough times and are now able to enjoy building and growing your business for your's, Mama Ninja's and the little Ninja's future. I'm just starting out this year, it's kinda intimidating but you're videos and attitude help to inspire confidence. Future's so bright. Gotta wear shades....
great video Nick, it was nice to hear a little bit of your story ! I have a great full time with benefits & retirement and also starting my 3rd year of mowing....I'm picking up customers (my first commercial one too) but still teetering back n forth on the big plunge! thanks for everything Nick, have a very successful year my friend !!
I started the same nothing like 3rd shift while starting a lawn care company. Took me 6 years to make the jump into the full time. Love the video keep it up man
I'm 17 and I work for a landscaping company currently and I've been saving to purchase a walk-behind on craigslist to start my own company, I bought my own trailer and I already have a truck, '03 F250. Your video really helped me out thanks a lot!!!
If you go to a scrap yard you should be able to find a GM Delco Radio for your truck that has FM and Cassette at least. probably charge you like 10 bucks for it. Great video! The crawl, walk, run metaphor is bang on.
Wow, you truly have come a long way. I agree with the walking you're probably running when you have four crews doing maintenance. Congrats on what you have accomplished.
Yooo. Nick ! You scared me bro had me worried when I didn't se the Sunday blog!😅😅😅 Good to see you didn't give TH-cam up! Love your vids bro ! Very inspirational! Keep up the good work! Eeyyyyy uuuuuuu tube 😂😂😂
Nick! My name Is Andy i am 25 years old and i live in Minnesota. I have been going solo for the past 3 years now ive been cutting grass since i was 6 years old and i am to that point where my equipment is holding me back from expanding. i am a one man band and i am still running a 1969 John Deere 112 with 46" deck and a 1973 John Deere 110 With 46" deck. straight shaft trimmer. last year i up graded to a Stihl BR600 Blower. what a time saver that has been. Right now i have around 45 clients that i cut for. my business name is 4 seasons Lawn care. I am working hard to be able to purchase a used commercial John deere zero turn. ive got to upgrade next year. thank you for your vids
skippy55008 thanks for sharing bro, and good luck with the business. Sounds like your a true go getter, keep me posted how things go. Thank you for watching as well!!!🙂👍🏻
Hey Nick. glad you got a day to spend with the fam. great video as usual. glad steve got some protection. ha, tell him now no excuses, get after it. have a great week man.
The beginning is always rough, but good work gives great referrals...I had a very good full schedule, but got lucky and landed a GOV job. I had a good 4 year run...
Great video. Did you apply for a buisness licence and have a company name right off the bat or were you free lance jobs. I have 4 clients right now but they are all bi weekley but it's going well. Need to do the flyer idea because the craigslist add is slow going.
thanks for sharing your journey. It took a lot of courage and hard work to walk away from the FT job but I'll bet your making more than 16 dollars an hour now. You deserve it. Geek to freak had a similar story and he is doing well. He doesn't shoot videos anymore but had a pretty good following.One thing that stuck with me was I believe it was him who made colored fliers with prices right on the flier. He would do a curbside estimate and hand the appropriate flier depending on price. I would think homeowners would respond pretty well to that tactic. Johnny mow has some useful info as well. It's great to hear all of your stories. thank you for making videos after a long day at work
boy this sounds so familiar because i still take those yards but im charging $$ because last year i learned and i still make mistakes but those dam over grown yards i think i made a vidoe on youtube about one yard i just looked at another house 2 days ago 8''- 27'' tall it's getting better now with prices and more customers trying to get more weekly and the route density thing. i also do heating and cooling but thats only busy when hot or cold so these 2 business work out good for me but i like lawn care more and pushing it further good video also
I totally understand what your sayin I have my own little business of cutting grass got about 15 clients it's me and my brother from day light to dark with just a weedeater and pushmower.....b&b lawncare is what we call ares but we are still in the small stage but we hustle everyday to make that money
i mean i can but i can tell you right now walk behinds are the best for hilly yards and v-rides are better for flat yards just like zero turns are best for flat yards as well :)
your teasing me with that beautiful chevy being your a ford guy i have a beautiful 1971 short bed green in color solid southern truck with a 302 4 speed stick shift with about 2500 on the restore
You said biz exploded after you quit the factory, did you gain customers quickly afterwards? If so, what do you think caused the immediate growth? Lovin the vids as always.
Saving Green Lawn Care Awesome! I'm going to be starting very soon and wondered about growth and your previous statement about taking 9 years almost put me on panic mode. lol But this vid and your reply helped lots. I've got tons of free time currently so hopefully will grow quickly! Thank you!!
Thank you my name is RC I go buy RC Yard Service and you're an inspiration to me I just broke my leg I'm going to be out of commission I'm still having the jobs done through my son(Austin) and his girlfriend and I want to thank you for calling us ninjas and making a smile and I'm cooped up in this 6 by 10 room ist's not driving me crazy cuz you drive me to tears and laughter ,na your man and you working together and making it happen I know how hard it is to work out there believe it or not I don't like to say AC I'm actually missing work I wish I can go tomorrow but I still got to pay my bills and every little bit helps so stay in touch thank you. p.s congratulations on your baby ninja wish him the best for all of you take a lot of pictures they grow up too fast ; )
Sure can if its part time, and yes i would always recommend insurance even if you don't have a business name you can put it in your own name i believe.
Is the best way to start getting customers by knocking on doors and handing out business cards and social media and I know a guy who only uses reel mowers
I understand where you are coming from, wherever you originally worked I'm sure it was a great job, might had paid good "Most 12 hour a day jobs do" I started my own lawn care businesses recently. However whenever I was 14 I was mowing lawns for people, my next door neighbors my dad would drive me other places during the week, I was actually making insane money for my age at the time. I remember getting my first part time Minimum wage job and wondering how anyone could think that it was worth the money they were getting paid "I was making a 40hr minimum wage check in a total of like 6 hours or less of push mowing peoples yards and I was in-experienced lol. The moral is if you're smart working for someone else sucks, because a majority of people running manufacturing plants a complete idiots that think they are highly educated. Spoiler, anyone who is highly educated has learned that working for someone else is a waste of time. I've started my long road to being independent, however the pay off is insane, people where I live are driving around new trucks every year that are doing lawn care and I can see how. I've been push mowing yards once again and making a killing off of people. I normally just ask what the last guy did their yard for and I feel bad for all the old lady's, people where I live here in Arkansas are charging pretty much 450$ a acre with no obstruction, just for the lawn. So these old lady's with little lot yards that I can pretty much weed eat were paying like 75$ a week for lawn care. Lol I knocked it down to 65$. Easy money, I get a nice wake up call when I clock back into work. Every single day I clock into work, I want to clock right back out and go grab more yards, however due to where I'm living and a couple of other things I need to stay with my company right now "No where to store 16-20ft trailer.
yeah dude my family treated me like crap for leaving my cashier job at a grocery store $8.05 an hour, like who wants that for the rest of there life lol

Lead Element Outdoors 100-120 a week
Aye sensei nick has a degree. Very well spoken and inspiring
Those are great trimmer face guards we use them at work over here in the United Kingdom
The beginning is always rough, but good work gives great referrals...I had a very good full schedule, but got lucky and landed a GOV job. I had a good 4 year run...
Great video. Did you apply for a buisness licence and have a company name right off the bat or were you free lance jobs. I have 4 clients right now but they are all bi weekley but it's going well. Need to do the flyer idea because the craigslist add is slow going.
Glad you made it through brother....

Hey Mate, are you able to make a video on which each mowers purpose is and what type of yard you would use it on.

Do I have to get a business name and license just to do this part time? can i get insurance without a business license?
Sure can if its part time, and yes i would always recommend insurance even if you don't have a business name you can put it in your own name i believe.
Is the best way to start getting customers by knocking on doors and handing out business cards and social media and I know a guy who only uses reel mowers
Landon Gaming no, never knock on people's doors!!!! I'll mention it in one of my videos why not to do that
Saving Green Lawn Care okay
