There's a hood saying here in Alabama... "What's understood don't need no explaining." There's no way a content creator could answer all the inquiries that comes their way. I've learned a wealth of knowledge from this channel. I've passed along info to those who will listen.

Buddy, I took the plunge last week - going full time now. No b.s. you've been a huge inspiration - I watch these videos in the morning with my coffee, and get pumped to get out there. Thank you.

I started last year half way through the season ended with 20 clients, this is my first full year and so far I have 30 Clients, I too have a full time job and I’m struggling to juggle both. My goal is to have a minimum of 55-60 yards before fully quitting my job. Once I pass 50 I’ll definitely cut back on my hours on my job

My guy Johnny is straight up, to the point. To all these comments always trying to make it into something it ain’t? I think P Diddy said it best “you just mad cuz I tell it how it is and you tell it how it might be” Keep spitting the truth young man! I love the channel J

These are great insights on starting a business and things to consider before going full-time. Those first few years are as you said are tough and you have to be a go getter. Insurance is a big deal and so many other things to consider. At the end of the day if you want it go get it. 💪🏾

I agree about neighbors judging your work - I have had to trim hedges for free simply because I was not going to leave the job looking like what that customer wanted me to leave it looking like - and I explained to the customer, that is not the type of work that i do (half a$$ work just because you are trying to save a few bucks) - so I finished the job like it was supposed to have been done and i did not go back to that customers home again - i didn't want people riding by and saying that I did a messed up job - but thats just me tho

Love the real take on the lawn business. I'm on my second season fully not push mowing 🙏🎉. But Still a lot to learn but loving every second of it. Definitely helps to understand early on that EVERY day won't be a GREAT ONE or a MONEY MAKING one. But it comes with learning the business..Expect the UNEXPECTED! 😂

That was excellent Johnny. Your business acumen is so spot on and certainly gives hope to anyone considering lawn care maintenance, as a full time career. Many thanks for sharing with us. We appreciate the time you give to us. POP SMOKE PEACE ✌️

Thank you for this video. I love the fact about services about people not wanting things such as edging, or trimming. I still take them on as I am trying to grow, but I have been slowly getting the edges cleaned up, and my pricing covers it if I just do a little each visit. I also have one customer who has me only trim. The great thing is this customer has been one who write positive reviews and appreciates my services.

Just a thought Johnny, but have you ever given any thought to paid consultations for the serious landscaping pro looking to take his/her small business to the next level? Contract acquisitions and a breakdown from a professional on the cost savings on going electric is worth it's weight in gold alone.

Hey Mr. Johnny 💯 agree Great video as always. I’ve been doing my business part time for the past three years Building up my clients I have recently just left a full-time job to go full-time with the business so I am able to take on more clients and I got a part-time job with flexible scheduling.
