Big thank you to Jake and the team for allowing us to come and record this video to help educate others in the industry! Before judging, keep in mind that it is not easy to have cameras come into your business when you are struggling. It take a lot of humility and I appreciate Jake for that! If you want me to come turnaround your business apply at MikeAndes.com/turnaround

I was in Michigan and met a guy who just started and excavation business. Driving a $90k truck, bought his wife a G Wagon, new equipment. All of it financed. he said he had $15k a month in payments. I told him good luck, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with that much debt. IF the economy tanks... Nobody is going to go bankrupt faster than that poor guy.

@Travis12861 , Yep. That would be me. Driving a 10 year old vehicle. Cash flow equipment purchases. I'd take the time to buy used and clean it up. Think how much more profitable you'd be without all that debt. Why give the bank such a big cut?

Great job by Mike and the team on this. Best of luck to the business and the owner. He needs to rise up, take on these issues head on, and affirm to his employees that he will do all he can to better the situation as long as all of them are pulling their own weight as well.

Being self employed the past 45yrs I can tell you when employees go home at 5 I'm still on the clock. When they get the sniffles & take a few days I'm still bidding jobs showing samples doing dump runs collecting on invoices washing and organizing the trucks etc. It never ends. But best thing about being SE is taking time off when I want & hitting cruises or trips to Hawaii or disneyworkd 3-4x a year. Your young You have the experience and I believe things will get better for you. Thin the crew out & pay the keepers well. Clean up & Thin equipment out while you still can get decent price for it & carry on. You got this! GL

It's wonderful to hear an owner doing nice things for his employees that are in need. A good heart like that naturally attracts good people. But the most amazing thing to see here overall is the level of concern and commitment by the employees when it comes to the business. It's landscaping...not the most interesting of pursuits yet to the employees, is. Again, that speaks to the owner...just a likeable guy, and that's huge!

Ultimately, many landscaping businesses face challenges in retaining employees. The solution lies in increasing wages. When your workers can't afford basic necessities and enjoy some comforts, neither can the "small" business owner.

@jamiepippin3892 9 месяцев назад

It's not usually a money problem. Landscape employees generally have a money management problem. They are either young or have had issues in life that prevent them from having a higher paying career. Not always, but usually. Pay them a livable wage, higher than the national average is fine if they earned it, but don't expect them to be great just because they are making decent pay. Some ambitious people might come along, but you can't expect them to stay interested when there's a cap on what you can earn doing labor for a landscaping company.

Bucket, Forks, Skeleton Bucket, Trenchers, Mowers, Skeleton, Grapple, Augers, Cement Mixers, Forestry Mulchers, Rock Crushers, Sand and Compost Baggers, Laser Graders, Asphalt Saws and Planers. I wouldn't want to lose mine for anything.
