UPDATE: 👇 He did it! Listen to his testimony. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bM54fruS366ZoH0.html

Keith, you are in a position to help this young man change his life. Show him the way!!! Thanks for the video👍

Always good to have a customer see your worth. This season I had to go up $5-$10 bucks per customer on gas and maintenance increases alone. One of my favorite customers before I even had the chance to mention said to me “ you know D with the gas prices and everything going up I’m going to pay you $25 more per cut” mind you she’s a weekly customer who was already paying $60 per week for a small front and medium size back yard. And not only does she pay $85 a week now but still tips me every time. She’s just a genuine good person and we keep in touch throughout the week. We’ve gotten so close she calls me her son now…brought her groceries when she was dealing with cancer. It’s a business but some customers you can’t help but love and enjoy being around. The people make the business that much more better.

He needs to drop his day job ASAP. 50 lawn accounts built up?! He will have no problem gaining more accounts with more free time after quitting his other job. Just do it ✔️

Imagine being 54 Y/O, having just blown your prime years working FOR 2 different people. TWO. I made 2 people rich. I hope all of you young working people/persons take Keiths advice. This is great stuff man, and the light bulb video too.

He’s already doubling his income if those cuts are weekly. I just quit my job 3 weeks ago I got 45 bi weekly cuts I’m at about the same he makes on his weeklys .. I was making 600 at my full time job, I’m now making between 1200-2000 dollars a week working for myself.. dude go get it !!!! It will work!!!!!!!!!!

I mow two yards a week on fridays and went full time. The other 6 days a week I'm installing edging, rock, mulch, cutting trees, leveling yards, pressure washing, and deck refinishing, and a shit ton of other things like house flips during the winter. I would love to mow non stop but let's be honest, the real money isn't to be found sitting on a mower all day. Don't be afraid of a little dirt, sweat, and hard ass work. Most guys around here that cut grass full time won't get their fat asses off the mower to even pick up a piece of trash. I hate laziness. Find out what you're best at and charge up the ass for it. Good luck.

There’s a motto that the British SAS use, “who dares wins”. It might be scary to make that leap but with proper planning it will pay off. I was crapping it when I first went on my own about bills, insurances , supporting family etc, but once I did it I’ve never looked back and are quite comfortable. This is partly due to Keith’s videos inspiring me. So if your not sure, listen to the guy.

Hunter my man if you ever come across this comment tell all those 50 ppl an bump $25 to $35 -$40 an be confident about it look them in there eyes an say you can't do it for that price anymore an do so only if the yards are reasonable I live in Texas so idk how it is up north but if there small yards I understand because you also have to be honest but you also need to make money an some will not want to pay and thats OK because most will because they like your work an your reliable an you'll have more time to look for more yards to price at that rate an can still keep your job until your ready to spread those wings..then do what Keith just told you about more work then you'll be able to spread those wings an fly thank me later

YEEEEESSSSSSSS that's THE right way to keep your workers happy and feel what they feel and felt what you whent thur💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Learning every single day more and more... thanks keith 🇲🇽🇲🇽

You covered most of it Kieth, but the one thing He needs to bump his prices up to a $35 minimum. $25 minimum’s don’t work anywhere in this country anymore.

He seems like the nicest person ever

Best way to advertise is word of mouth and trow out flyers before your mowing season thats what I did here in Cincinnati ohio from 2014 I build up 150 mowing clients weekly not including mulching customers only

I think the anxiety is more than just having the guts to get out there and do it, I am trying to switch to full time and there is so so much more to consider, taxes, licensing, insurances, winter time, gas, maintenance. It is a math game though, but I completed understand his anxiety and it’s good to be safe

You Keith have just changed this kid's life.. He will be thanking you in the next year or two.... I'am 1000% sure of this... If HE makes it happen. Best of luck kid but luck has nothing to do with it just do it..just trust what keith is telling you it works as long as you put the time in it works...

I hope you go full time bro this is my first full time year and it's been great I quit my job last August with 10 mowing clients I have a house payment wife and 2 kids no money in the bank and I said the hell with it I just got my zero turn this spring and Keith is a awesome guy from what I know from his videos YOU got this go for it you can always get another job if you had too

He can’t be charging 25$ a yard. No money made. Got to bump it up to at least 40

This is where you take the leap and jump running as you hit the ground. And you will never look back

I’m in the same position as him. The one thing that wasn’t talked about was the income he is making at his day job late November-all of March. At least that’s my resistance.

Keith, Great mentorship. Hope he rises his prices & know he’s self worth.

I really appreciate seeing things like this especially you helping out another young hustler I am currently trying to build my business here in Florida and your videos help put things into perspective and help me a lot I greatly appreciate this channel and what you are doing

Get after it young man! Keep workin with him Keith! The confidence will come

Keith I’m sure you made this dude changed his mind! You’re the man who inspires us! Great job 👍

Hunter you are soooooo ready to step up to this new level- I watched the entire video and I was getting PSYCHED for you cause I can feel you will go far! My intuition is never wrong! Cheers from Australia

The fact you took the time to help him is beautiful. Thanks for being a good person.

You have just changed his life! Always easier to see from the outside, I needed to hear the same message myself so thankyou for taking the time to have and share that conversation.

I’m in the same situation! Love the video! The math doesn’t lie! Thanks!

Dang man... I loved this video. It's so inspirational for my business. Love it.

Hes already doing great and can work long hard days he will do fine! Keith you are a great mentor and speak in a very relatable and understandable way.

Kieth is a Left Handed Genius

Good work ethic but im honestly surprised he hasnt got the cops called mowing at 10pm

Next level work ethic. Can tell he’s a good guy. Start creeping those prices up man you deserve it.

Thank you for helping this guy out! Awesome of you to do that.

Love seeing these examples of transitioning to full time business!! Currently working corporate and will be getting my part-time business off the ground in 2022. It's all about the numbers and available time at this point. Cheers

It’s funny how much customers complain when they think the price is too high and they’ll go everywhere and say bad things about a company but when the price is so low they’re taking advantage of the contractor and don’t value them they say nothing and it’s sad

So good of you Keith it's a no brainer for him to give it a crack

Keith, You’re the man! Love your vids and the knowledge you put in them

Liked this! Very creative energetic and mentoring video! A lot of relevant info for many others in exact same point in life. The potential to make a series of follow up videos on this guy is obvious. Never seen one before, would be helpful to many I know

Keith you the man👑 💯💯 I just got my LLC'S & I'm learning watching your channel / keep it coming

Today Friday the 26th of November 2020 i quite my job. I will be going full time in my business. Over 3 year's of cutting for the council and 2 years of very little growth in my because of working a 0700-1530 job. Keith you have kept me focused along the way and I want to thank you for all those Inspiring night videos. 2021 is my year. Kia kaha🇳🇿

Smashed the like button! You got me to where I am now and that’s just starting off, but not brand new! In the same predicament but much older. Never done this type of stuff before but I love it and I “know” it’s what I want to do. Just gotta make the leap of faith! THE ONE THING I DON’T HEAR ABOUT IS HAVING FULL TIME JOB WITH THE HEALTH BENEFITS AND MAKING THE MOVE. Insurance is huge, just got to figure it out I guess! Lol Thanks for all the inspiration and learned knowledge. My ears are always open!

Respect for sharing the knowledge Keith.

He needs to raise his minimum to $30-35. Just quit the job and go for it. Like Keith said, work creates work. Soon you'll be too busy and buying a second truck and hiring.

Best vid I’ve seen in a long time on the net. Straight shooting, as real as it gets

I love that you are helping him realize it only him that stop him from making it with just 50 PEOPLE HE CAN DO JUST FINE

Great great great video Keith! That was very helpful. Biggest thing I can see is depending on where you are located and not having that same opportunity through the winter months. Obviously there is snow removal but might not be quite the same numbers.

Love this way of showing us through showing someone else method because we don’t see it as clearly as learning the hard way

I've heard your name throughout the lawn care community and never checked you out :( I listened to your interview on the Aussie Lawn Stars podcast. And have straight away jumpen on to get more content of yours and soak up your knowledge. This video was fantastic. Although my figures are different, it still applies almost exactly in my situation. This video does not have the views it damn well deserves. Thankyou! Jacobb Yasa Yard Management Melbourne Australia

Mahalo nui! This man did it from the ground up! I building my own yard maintenance here in HAWAII.

thanks for inspiring me with this video. I've worked for my dad in asphalt for 25 years now and I just started landscaping in the winter and early spring to get me and my wife, 5 kids by. I recently picked up a good size lawn job and pay pretty good, I feel I can make it but I don't want to leave my dad with working his business himself and finding help to train and so on, but I think I'm going to talk with him and see about a 6 month trial. thank for the brains and hope you are blessed

Love the whole video... most important how you explained. Think you found a new calling🤙🏾💯

I have a day job and make really good money with benefits.....I cut 30 yards on the side and do really well. The main problem with going full time lawn service is the lost health benesit. Side hussle=$$$

This is great. Brilliant work illustrating the mind set

Great video, really good advice. Looking forward going full time in lawn care

Great video keith thanks for teaching thanks again

Wow,Just wow! This is such a good video keith. He has the work to fill in the day's. He just needs the courage and im sure he does.👌🏻

Honestly this is really insightful. I’ve talked to a lot of people/customers and they’ve all said they don’t mind paying more for my services as long as the quality doesn’t drop. Next season my minimum is going from $30-50 it will cover up to a 5k square foot home 🏡 above that it’s based on sqft

We heart Keith. Keith is real. Gain control of your own destiny and unlock your full potential if you're watching this from the young man's position. Best thing I ever did! GIE 2020!

Keith you probably changed this dudes life. I did one pressure wash job today that took 3 hours i made $400. I used to be a Missouri state highway patrol vehicle inspector and made $400 a week! I made that in 3 hours today and it felt so rewarding even though it was hot as shit today I wouldnt change it for the world. Wish i would have started at 17 or 18 twelve years ago lol. Keep it up man.

17:00 I’m a big fan of 90 day plans. The first week to make the plan. A few weeks to get it up and going. A month to grow, and a month to normalize

I feel so incredibly blessed that I came across this video

Hats off to you mr falkas, finally someone to walks the talk

really great video Keith, well explained and motivating.

This video really discouraged me, we make roughly the same amount $560 40 hours a week… with zero clients… he has FIFTY?? And he still has a day job …. Dang… I’ve been binge watching all your videos but this one … this one got me :(

True insight Keith, helping others is valuable "Excellent ".

Keith thanks for the videos im currently running my own bussness and still need some tips

Ketih I agree that it's all a leap of faith, but tell this young man that honestly there's a lot of work in the lawn business and anything is possible in it 🙏 show him the way

Keith this was awesome man! Made my night!

It is a mind screw, im going through this and have been for about a year. Even though i know i make more in the few hours in the evening than an 8 hour day. I think alot of people get stuck in trying to be a good person or keep our bosses happy, especially if we feel any level of appreciation. I get myself connected to old men who have alot of medical problems and end up feeling bad for them but has been the most positive thing in my life. Just like he said, being open and honest is best if the person really cares and likes you then they will support your decisions even if theyre opposed in the beginning because of selfishness or needing you. Just make good choices and do a good job, alot of it falls in place it we just keep it moving and put in some real effort! LOVE THY NEIGHBOR!!!

Inspiring the youth , good man keith

I respect trades guys so much most of them are decent people and bust their ass to make money. What im seeing is alot of them need sales training 101 and some simple business management classes

Man I jumped. And the only reason I jumped is because I have listened to every single video Keith has put out. But you have to take his advice and do it. Go listen to Steve Harvey jump. Good stuff. I have been going strong in my company for two years full time now. Best feeling ever. Thanks man

$25 bucks a yard ,that's not making money . They need the service for being lazy to work on the heat ,a good start will be $50and up , that's what I charge , here in East tx , and customers pay what I ask for , or screw them . Grass's grows every day one inch . I use to low ball my business , and I had 72 customers , now that I opened my eyes I'm down to 57 customers , but I'm making more money and less work to my equipment.

In order to grow, you need to raise your price. I know a guy that cuts grass 4 days a week with the same amount of yards 50 lawns and he makes $500 A DAY working SOLO with no trailer. Only a 30 inch Exmark with a sthil trimmer, and blower. Making $5,000 a month. This guy definitely needs to raise his price. He'll FOR SURE make enough to support himself.

I absolutely appreciate the content in this video. I'm a very situation as him just started my lawn care landscape business this year in March, and was able to go full time with it already. Just like him, I absolutely hated my day job so I had to "jump" per say....never looked back and absolutely loving it. I'm like him I do need to work on my route density as well. If anyone needs any motivation to do their own thing KZfaq search "Steve Harvey jump" that video was a life changer for me

Hey Kieth, I feel you may not respond and I know it is because you are busy but I have to chime in here. I have watched yours and Brian's pod cast and KZfaq videos. Something that is not talked about a lot is how to set yourself up for retirement in this industry. First let's talk about insurance for medical, dental and vision. How much does this cost for you as an individual? Not everyone has a spouse to support them on their insurance as it would kill their paycheck and so you need to pick up more jobs to make up for that missed money. Then, someone on here mentioned it about the down months (four to five here in N.C.). That means for 8 months a person would have to bust tail to make enough to get them through the down months. No body has put out a video explaining the break down on how the money made is broken down into payments for all items needed to live ie; insurance for business, medical, dental, and vision, taxes, and employee payment. After all this is taken out, what is left over for the business owner who is responsible for making sure equipment is running top notch and they are making their salary. Now that would be a video to tun in to. I bet your followers would skyrocket due to this is what stops most business owners from going all in. Just saying, you asked this young man why he is not quitting his job and going all in. I can speak from experience that after watching videos put out by you, Brian and Stanley "Dirt Monkey", you get stoked and ready to go out and bust it wide open, but then you start to think about everything I listed above. Did this young man think about all the items listed above when you asked him about talking to his boss? I will stop here, but wanted to answer your question as to what is stopping people from leaving their full-time jobs to be self-employed. Keep putting things like this out there please.

"I drink a lot of coffe". Great business confidence video!

Great video Keith and I am going to share the video with my son.

Awesome video 💯

Keith, I re watched this video after I watched your recent scrub trimming video. Wow I remember what Hunter is saying. He is scared. Think back to a letter you received 3 1/2-4 years ago from a guy that a was scared about quitting his job and decided to go to Israel (the country) and I decided to quit my job finally. Also at GIE Stanly and me were talking with a group of people who were new to the landscaping business. I was sharing with this group what you are saying in the video. I did stress a book they needed to read. Your First Year in the Landscaping Business. You should read the book it is a pretty good book. And I think if you were at GIE you were hiding from me and you still owe me a big brother hug. Are you busy this weekend? You want to grab a bite to eat together? lol

Yes it’s easy to say about dropping your full time job. But this is how I look at it. Because I work full time. I have my business 24 years. What I’m getting at is you have to put x amount of money away for the winter. And you can’t forget health insurance. Most guys I know there wives are nurses so they have there health insurance. I’ve thought about it many times to go for it. But then I get stressed and think of what happens if we don’t get rain and then it’s a drought. Here in Pa I think it’s rolling the dice. My full time job is a cushion for me. I just make it work. I should have done it before I had a family.

I am in the exact same situation!

Great video Kieth!Hunter…Keep pushing and make the leap!Just Put in my 2 weeks…last day is this Friday!I am rolling like 3 the hard way!!

Brilliant! TY!

The smoke that gets blown in this industry

I was to scared to quit my full time job I had to have them fire me to get me motivated and it worked lol

I’m in his shoe 👟 Keith , but he can do part time on his day job. I cannot. My job don’t offer part time. Still trying hard to get enough customers to go full time. Ty for your video.

I am currently going through that job situation right now

He seems like a great kid! 👍

Awesome video Keith.

Keith best KZfaqr.

Kk you are the man for pouring into his life !! Keith how do I subcontract lawn care work ?

Thanks Sir .. it a no brainer

Yes Keith You Right About That Its All About BUSINESS BABY 🤑🤙

You are a real BRO.

Such a nice kid & such meaniful investment of your time. A++++ Vid

One of your best videos. I wish I could spam the like button to infinity

Drop the day job or keep only from Monday to Thursday. That way you can mow Friday and Saturday. Sunday you can do mulch jobs. That's what I did

Great video man please follow him I really would love to see his journey.
