Small Jobs, Big Monies - Solo Tree Work 

Petition for an hour long metaspencer video! Keep up the great work man !!

Good to see you back Spencer. Your two passengers look like they wanted to stop for an ice cream on the way home.

Excellent video.. totally agree with you about small jobs and referrals . Its funny when you underbid a job and work your butt off , those people never seem to give you any referrals.

You are so right about the small jobs, they add up. I do them all the time even if its one shrub trim. People talk and I have had more referrals than you can believe. Just do a good job and a good clean-up even if it involves some area beyond your work zone, as people notice the little extra. Also, be friendly and take a few extra minutes to chat with the customer. Thanks for sharing Spencer.

I cherish the small jobs like that when I can find them. But my favorite, big drops and the customer elects to clean it up, in out and good moolah

Looks like a nice little "switch off" day.

Gotta love the small job stack

I think you get nice referrals because you're a nice dude and you do a nice job!

This is the ONLY size jobs I want to do. Looking to start my biz soon doing smaller jobs involving tree care, invasive removals, and native landscaping projects.

Love me some bread and butter jobs.. especially if access is good and I can leave the the firewood where it falls.

The super referrer 😂. Never thought about that aspect of the small job but it makes perfect sense! Also! This video definitely filled a gap in my knowledge when it comes to hard back leaning smaller diameter felling!!! I never considered the 1/4 back cut method to get wedges started without the tree sitting back! Genius!!! Thank you man

Would love to have that truck and trailer set up lol

I had a bunch of work on my house: trees, roof then paint.

Love the videos Spencer, I hope everything has been fantastic

In France, we talk about "Bouche à oreille", literally translated "Mouth to ear". That’s the best way to get good customers very quickly, they’re the best at advertising. More good work done 👍

I as someone who does solo Tree Work as well, I love your channel! So much good information, and so applicable to what I do! Keep the good content coming

Spencer: 10/10. Ground Crew:0/10. As slack as your ground crew is no wonder you love small jobs!🤣🤣🤣

I love your dogs. Thanks for adding them to today’s small-jobs video.

It doesn't get much better than the title of this video.💵💰

Super referrer is a great concept!

Glad to see you. Love the small jobs. As you said they add up and the referrals are worthwhile. Great job & stay safe

That was a mighty fine video. I am suffering from chainsaw envy as my wife won't let me get one. I cut down a 30ft pine tree in December and a 35 year old Bush (limbs as thick as a tree trunk) at the weekend, with a reciprocating saw, for my mother-in-law. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Michael (from Scotland)

Good video.

This man is very cool 😎

Yessir, yesterday i completed a small job over a phone pic, $350. Started the job at 9:00. Completed the job, then the neighbor had work.. left by 11:00 with $750. Can’t beat the small jobs

Awesome video! Great message. Loved it!

So so true. I love a small job

Enjoyed the video. Love the Echo DCS-2500T. A great limbing saw. It's kind of a hidden gem in the climbing world.

nice dude

As a solo operator, I approve of this message.

Small jobs are great.

Nice work Spencer. Hope you and the family are well. Take care.

Nice video, you seem super knowledgeable. The small jobs are where its at!! I live in an area with beach towns, its small jobs galore! And while the big guys are all off shore taking care of the monsters, they're leaving all the little scraps jobs to the rodents like me! A pick up and a dump trailer with no over head cost = nice paychecks. Cool video man.

Im a solo operator landscapeing and light excavating.. the majority of my work compromises of the work the bigger companies dont want to mess with. Some call it scraps, i call it good quick money. I can do 100k easy in a year foing just small jobs

It's about the climbing, the gear, the methods and the blinker fluid:)

Those little battery Echo top handles are awesome! I use mine for most trim jobs...it absolutely HATES Minnesota winters but other than that...

All my tree work is small and selective. It's a side hustle for now, no company, just word of mouth references from the previous job before. :)

Love your videos from Handyman to tree work! You tell great stories:)

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video Spencer . Sincerely Hollandduck

good job stay safe.

Thanks for showing your good work! I am personally aiming mostly for the small jobs, that is perfect for single operations and beeing independent. Greetings from wet germany.

Everyone is meeting me there😂

I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for the video.

Nice thoughts! Love smallies.....

I love small jobs. You can knock 3-4 in a day and make a weeks wages in 8 hours.

I was sad when you said you were taking down a plum, but luckily, that looked like a non-native cherry plum, so you're good...lol.

Intrepid arborist traverses raging torrent... 🤣 Good points, well made. Can't knock the bread-and-butter jobs.

Awesome man great job and great talk about the small jobs r exactly gold mines to small guys great words and truth of wisdom way to stay humble cheers my friend stay safe always enjoy u and your content 💪👍🤙

Love your Videos.! Keep them coming!

Great business savy, love the fact that you don't have to rely on employees, I have some great ones but......... How did the heater work this winter? Any problems?

Ive recently started a small tree removal/storm damage service and I do agree with the small jobs. I took two small jobs that other tree services never got back to the customers (small dollar jobs) so I took them and they were SO happy I took it, that they recommended me to others its interesting. Its like they were so grateful someone cleaned their yard up they were more than willing to recommend to others.

small jobs = substantially less overhead, liability, and risk of injury. The small ones are the best (unless you get complacent and use a polesaw and a 35 foot orchard ladder)

Thanks! I needed this video!!

Still want to collaborate with you sometime pal!

I also like 3 easy jobs more than one big one for the same money... but I don't run away from a big job either because I love it :)

Thank you

Let’s go!

absolutely. stackem up and reap the rewards. PS I now have a full time job and will be parking the handyman dealio under my experience belt. sometimes you have to weigh up the pro's and cons, and for me, cons of a fixed income outweighed the freedom of self employment by a buck sixty.

Thankyou

Best jobs are 4 no clean up jobs in a day!!!

Dude 🧉 u Rock 🥌 ur , the river crossing 🚸 was, for me , Hilarious, I'm easily amused anyways, but I totally agree 💯 w/You, where u live, u Hiring, I'm in Ohio, I'm an Arborist of 40 yrs, BE CAREFUL and ALWAYS KEEP UR WITTS ABOUT YOU!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh no yellow submarine 😂... There's always next time...

Ah, no ground crew, no bucket truck! Just a lone tree wrangler! I know what you mean about the super referrer (I am one lol). People who live by the "find a need and fill it" philosophy turn into caretakers of others, always offering help. It's a feel good, mission accomplished thing and can get to be an unhealthy compulsion. Still, when it's the right thing to do it's great! I had a super referrer in my real estate business, then she got her license and started helping people she would have referred to me! Ha! That's ok though, it's like the ultimate referral - do such a good job that people want to do what you do! Thanks for another swell video with chuckles and suspense. Metasuspense! Ha! 🎉😂

I have an idea for you if your interested in taking the next step. The Alpine Magnum stump grinder. Check that out and let me know what you think.

Agree 💯 👌

I like your discussion of super referrers. I hate the question on so many satisfaction surveys of how likely are you to recommend our company to family or friends. Not being a super referrer, I tend to say not very even it I liked the product or service.

How much do you pay to dump per trailer load? Thanks.

Is that truck tuned? Chipped? Anything?

Heidi ho buddy

That was a horrible face cut on that first tree. You left way too much hinge. It couldn't break away. 😂
