Thanks again for the tour Ethan! You got a great thing going buddy. Can you guys leave an encouraging word for Ethan and let him know how proud of him you are?! 🤠🙏🔥
I enjoyed watching Ethan’s passion an the industry! I think the no girlfriend no weed and now alcohol has Definitely propelled him to be so much farther ahead than other kids his age. He’s going to be a great husband & Dad one day!
so inspiring, I started playing drums at 14 and hustled to now record albums and play with working bands and artists its always great to start young to learn work ethic and responsibility!!! great job!!
Ethan is another impressive young man on this tour. He stays focused,& is always grinding. He’s definitely a young man with a plan. There’s a wonderful future ahead in the green industry. Keep up the great work Ethan!!💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
These kids are real blessings and inspirations when people will take the time to look in on their lives. It's almost like you can feel God using their lives to speak into other live of other young men looking for direction and revelations on what is possible in their lives. This young man is exquisitely well spoken and a real thinker. I love when you do videos like this, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great Job young man!!! it’s always great to see our young generation doing something positive and making an honest living! I salute you buddy! Stay focused and encouraged 🫡🫡🫡
So does offering a community discount make sense? Like first person pays $50 but after they refer 5 people it goes down to $45 make sense? Idk maybe change the rate but i feel like this would be a way to capture a large audience while lowering your indirect cost with less driving.
The first thing I've bought my self this year is a Stihl fs56 RC string trimmer and I'm trying to get my self a riding lawnmower I don't know if I'm going to get one yet though
Sick vid and set up I’m 16 down in jersey I have 40 accounts and run a toro grandstand and a Walker mower with a 6x12 enclosed trailer along with all Redmax and some stihl handle held equipment and there all full service customers all get mulched all get trimmers bushes 2 times a year thing that stinks about jersey you don’t get your license till 17 so I gotta wait another year but big shout out to mom and dad for driving me around all these years next purchase is a truck but I gotta try to find one lol
I love the mindset of this young man. I wish more young people could latch onto to the concept that hard work and attention to details goes a long way to being successful. Keep it up!
Just getting into landscaping now at 31. Last few years have been trying farming, but now going to try the landscaping to hopefully eventually fund the farming, similarly to what he says started his landscaping. Very impressive at his age. For me, better late than never I guess!
The best part of the entire video was…it’s called school and not education. At 17 you are a star and by 27 you’ll be in the universe. Keep up the great work!!!
Ethan, you should check on school online. My daughter did her senior that way. It provides an education with the flexibility a busy schedule needs. You do the classes from anywhere with a computer.
Love to see this. I’m 25 now and have been cutting yards since about 10 years old or so. I have a full time job (bread distributor) which has me working about 40ish hours a week and somehow find time so service about 35 clients on a bi-weekly schedule and steadily growing each day. I also have a brand new dump trailer and do dirt,sand,rock delivery and debris haul away! I only have one employee so it’s hard at times but the reward at the end of each week is what makes it worth it! Would love to talk with you sometime and give you a “tour” of everything I do.
Wow. Impressive young man, to say the least. I'm over forty & just starting to make a profit in my lawn care business after three years, part-time. He's definitely encouraging me to hit it hard this year & go full-time.
Brian Thank you for sharing this young man story, so inspirational I'm looking to start my own Lawn care company. I'm currently a Fuel truck driver. This story just motivates me. Thanks again keep up the good content.
Prices are crazy different depending on location. Show up here to a 1/2 acre lawn and quote 45 to 50 and get laughed off the lawn. Before anybody call's BS just know you are telling that to somebody that's been doing this every day for 42 years and STILL has the first customer they picked up 42 years ago. Location MD
Ethan, 1) At your age, yes, 100% start a business. Reinvest, grow and learn. Ask what just happened? What does that mean? Adjust and have at it again. You will never ever get this from school. Unless, the teacher or professor is an adjunct (true players coach). 2) Go to school for the obvious things people say. Doctors, lawyers, engineering, etc. I have tried to explain to our kids that we are funding school, so they have the opportunity to climb as high up the corporate ladder as possible, in order to reserve the right to dump down hill. Sounds harsh, doesn't mean you have to behave that way, but that is how that cookie crumbles more than not. Business is business, so I have been told multiple times??? One family I know of that goes straight to work out highschool is the Tippmann family from the Fort Wayne, IN area, where I grew up. Good luck figuring out which one of the original 16 made their 1st million. Cooling & Storage, warehousing, paint ball guns, racking, single family homes, commercial concrete and so on. I have a college degree from IU - Bloomington. It will get you an interview to work for people that already know what you know, then they squeeze you for time. While at IU I worked for the physical plant for 4 years on the master arborists crew completing general campus lawn maintenance and it was the happiest time of my life (effortless to work). I am now 51. The tears for me in year 1 came dehydrated at 9pm, as I finished jobs and I realized I should have done this decades sooner. My father was right... Go into business with yourself, by yourself and for yourself. Be disciplined to your skill/craft, build your mouse trap for cash flow , then buy property and pay it off. Now you set the terms with the bank and everyone else. Small or large scale... Freedom is freedom and I truly wish this for everyone... Sounds like you got that figured out! Good for you! I have specific questions about wet grass and equipment I would like to ask you. I am burnt out testing. Northern Michigan deals with the same thick wetness we do in the PNW. Reach out if you have time, then send me an invoice for your time. That is the biggest compliment I can pay you! Chorus Lawn Services - Olympia, WA
All love but the 4mix is trash. Could have used a roller pin bearing on the piston rod instead of a brass bushing. That’s why they start the knocking. The piston just flaps around.
What a great interview! Impressive. I have a 9-5, but I do mow 5 lawns a week in my neighborhood with my 16 year old Toro GTS for extra income. Charge $40 each, so an extra $200 a week. My goal would be what this dude is doing! I would love to build this from a side gig into my sole job. I make $90k a year so if I can get 44 accounts a week I will be there haha.
@@TheOwlsNest410 Oh yeah, my wife and I quit our 9-5s and run this together. Now at 36 residentials, and 3 commercial customers (a shopping center, an HOA for their common areas and a small park in their neighborhood, and a 6 acres satellite field for the government.)
Hey Brian what kind of trimmer line do you use for your trimmers I use Gator trimmer line and weed warrior but weed warrior trimmer cuts ok but Gator trimmer line and Oregon trimmer line is good to for thicker tall grass it's awesome to use but I don't use round trimmer lines at all because I have to go back over my yards
I’m 21 down in Sturgis MI and am thinking about starting my own thing on the side and possibly even evolve to full time. These videos are awesome and help with the motivation and excitement
awsome young man there.. and damn rocking a long trailer. Tell him to rubberize it and will hold up and paint not chip so much. Ethan you are rocking it man. and damn so young and going far man..
Tips, 1)it’s how about how many account you have it’s how much you are making, per account and the level of difficulty, 2) it’s not about how many mower or brand , or truck you have, it’s about how effectively and how much money you make, you can have 50 accounts and and one mower in the back of you truck , and make more money than someone with a 100 account and big trailer with couple mower
Don’t sleep on the small back packs in the summer when there’s no morning dew! We run heavy echo 770T’s when we have to but if it’s dry we use echo pb265’s. Your body will thank you when you make that switch! Same with trimmers. 2620’s in the spring but we use echo 225’s the rest of the year.
Im 7 years into it , i bought two beater boats 2500 dollars and 4500 dollars , and build them into pretty nice , desirable for my area, machines/ inshore and offshore outboard boats , worth 30k now or close to it
I have the same issue with Stihl trimmers when they get hot. Thinking about getting a backup Stihl electric trimmer for the end of the day houses. Inside an enclosed trailer in 97degrees outside makes them a pain to start!
Depends on restrictions of the location being mowed. My small town limits mowing to M-F 8am to 6pm. Weekends are 9am to 6pm. Depends upon distance tween properties. While I'm an early riser, I try to be considerate of my neighbors who have 3rd shift hours. I have never liked the smell of gas and have all battery powered equipment. I'm a 68 yr old,5ft tall Grandma to a 3 yr old 24/7 live in granddaughter. I just happen to love smelling fresh cut grass!
That's crazy when they talk a couple grand for landscaping. I can't believe they charge that much and more importantly how can the residential people pay that much or want to pay that much?
Aye Brian! What a amazing video of you and the young entrepreneur! Myself is new to this lawn mowing industry and would love to start soon! May you please share us the young one effective postcard ?
