Mike and Team, Just want to say that this is some of your best content. The information you are putting out for small business owners is invaluable. You are an extremely effective communicator and extremely charismatic. Its fascinating watching these an learning along the way how to eliminate waste from our businesses. I genuinely believe there is more to be learnt here than there is in a lot of business majors at third level. Well done, keep up the great work. Hope to see you working with a business in the Chicago area soon!

@waylonratcliffe 5 месяцев назад

This business model drives me nuts - Big fancy office, nice trucks, lots of chiefs with polo shirts yet the equipment looks un-maintained, the guys are getting paid the absolute minimum by industry standards, and the "chiefs" complain about guys not wanting to show up. This is the old school mentality, heavy overhead, and slave labor. The new model is low overhead and pay your guys $20-$35 per hour, they are the most essential part of the business yet the most neglected.

@Technotranceism 5 месяцев назад

Most don't consider what level of money per hour, management makes you for your business. If they can't match the crews income, than they are a drain on the business. Management is a finicky department.

@@Gregoman89my brother owns a tree company it’s been me him and one other guy for 6 years were at around 300 - 450 thousand a year , we’ve had an occasional 4th guy but mostly just the 3 of us , and his wife does the office things . At 24 employees they should be at way more revenue than that . And we don’t even work year round , mostly just April thru end of September or so with a little snow work in the winter which the last 2 years we haven’t done

@Gregoman89 5 месяцев назад

@@dylanstevely1443 comparing a lawn maintenance company and tree business is comparing apples to oranges. Your revenue per job and revenue per action item are astronomically higher compared to lawn Maintenance. I mean even if you charged 500 per tree which would be cheap you would break 3,000 on 6 trees at one site. That will never happen in lawn maintenance. The reason why: tree cutting is much more skilled and dangerous

@jacobfrier8887 6 месяцев назад

@richardstone5241 6 месяцев назад

Wow, they only have $15,000 in cash?! They should have $150,000 in cash minimum and I would recommend for a 1.9 Million business to have $250,000 cash and an equal amount in line of credit. Also, they only need ONE good sales person and their pay should be MOSTLY commission derived. Good employees work hard for BONUSES not an HOURLY RATE.

@Zackarybryan 6 месяцев назад

Majority of people who start labor industry businesses don’t have the discipline to take care of their bodies so they can’t handle the labor themselves very long. So what do they do… take on debt with employees and equipment to do the labor they don’t want to do.

How are you suprised you’re struggling, you’re grossing 1.5 million on 24 employees. That’s 62k per employee. Subtract their pay, benefits, taxes, and workers comp. Then subtract your insurance, and debt payments and you’re suprised you’re struggling. You have to be higher grossing per employee.

@PM_Doug 6 месяцев назад

I know the Mirror Lake customer and think they propped up them to much. Definitely need a switch to residential customers more for better profits. Commercial is great if they know how to work the relationships and budgets of HOA boards like Mirror Lake. Warehouse’s in West Ga probably will be bottom dollar clients and might be good to drop if losing profit. My opinion drop the consultant, as it’s a waste of time, which yes is wasting money even not paying for his time. I also think he would have negative influence after Mike left. To many degrees and my opinion archaic way of thinking on business. His input was not even of value add to the video. Thankful they serve as FF’s but feel bad since they don’t get paid well enough for that job.

@irish_claymore4163 6 месяцев назад

He's been very open on how he established his business, he's talks all the time about when he has had to raise the rates. In this video he talks about how a similar sized location he operates charges $80 an hour. What it sounds like is in your area the Augusta location is attempting growth, by charging a low margin for a service to encourage growth. I'd imagine he may do a rate adjustment in a couple months to weed out the bad customers and also achieve his normal hourly rate. Pretty common and sound business practice in my opinion. I'd say that he is very qualified to be helping and giving business advice.

Retired guy with an MBA here. If you're thinking of entering an industry where a 16 year old with a $500 lawnmower can become a competitor............think again. It's called a barrier to entry; and in landscape maintenance there isn't one. Also, (ahem) if you think joining a landscape maintenance franchise is going to make you more successful.....think again. Every single healthy male and female in the USA can become a landscape maintainer within one week....if they want to. That should scare you straight. Get a skill, become a SKILLED tradesman. Then you can start a business that is potentially lucrative. "I own a $1.9 million company". Wowee. Show us your bottom line; if you even know what that is. Landscape maintenance is a dumb business to own...a dumb industry to be in.
