I seen the other videos you mentioned. Seems to be a hot topic, I think people get in trouble trying to hire and hustle for the work to support it. I see it all the time here, this work is also the type where you train/teach someone and now you created a competitor.
Hey Ray Ray Great video 😊 I getting some help now. Everything in our industry is a balancing act. Kinda like dealing with the weather 😊 Happy that Toby is on your team did you hear from Francisco? If you get him back you got your lawn care crew 😊😊😊 Take care Ray Ray and God Bless
Finding good help and keeping them is the hardest part of owning a business imo. I’am only part time landscaper but I see this in the corporate world too. Solo, the way to go.
Good video Ray on help issues. I think we have a big problem in this country has a whole because people today act like you owe them something. I have watched my son struggle with help issues and I don’t think I could deal with it. This generation has no self discipline or do they have a sense of responsibility to work. I am almost 70 and retired from a chemical plant and help my son almost every day because someone don’t show up. I know someone is going to say he is not paying enough but no amount of money is going to change the lack of responsibility this generation has.
Worst decision I made was hiring guys I was much happier solo , I got one guy that lives to break/lose equipment another that makes his own time to show up and another that is broke by Monday and looking for handouts all week long its not worth it stay solo save yourself the headache
Solo is so much less stressful but it’s not fun when you can’t take a day off or go on summer vacation.. With a crew you get a lot of headache but more money and more flexibility. The other issue is keeping a good employee employed through the off season. I’ve been very blessed with you guys who will work. I only have them a few years though.
I honestly believe if your gonna go the employee route you need you and two more guys or gals. So a three man crew!! My thinking is if one decides to be the call off guy you can still get the work done. If they become reliable then you can probably add another truck and hire two more guys. I feel that’s how to grow and expand it can’t happen with one guy. Has to be two until you get consistency!!
Yes This season was mostly dedicated to getting toby to where he knows all the properties and everything. If he can hang on , a lot of good things will be happening next year. We will have so much more time To do other stuff , And I could do some marketing
You can make the shift to Landscaping/Hardscaping and weed out the Lawn Maintenance. You'd easily double your profits. Or do more Tree work, you have a lift.
Great topic and thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸
good help is hard to find
