A lot happening on this day out mowing lawns. I deal with a typical "complaint" from a client when the yard isn't looking its best... "It's being mowed too short" No, mam. It's not being mowed short enough, actually... We need to go to a weekly mowing service. Also, I run out and do yet ANOTHER landscaping estimate (I am doing what seems like dozens of these right now), and I share a tip for using video to document all the things you and the client talk about when on site. This helps me when I am preparing an official estimate to send to the client... I can remember all the little details... the things that were very important to the client this way. Finally, I run into another frustrating situation where yet another lawn care company is paying their employees by 1099 instead of putting their employees on payroll. Look, I'm not going to cause grief over this, but I can tell you this... My accountant said 100% you can not 1099 employees if they don't have their own business license, and are using ANY of your equipment; truck, trailer, mower, stick equipment, shirt... OR if you tell them what time to start each day... Man... I would always feel like I was having to look over my shoulder if I ran my lawn care business this way... When I put my head down to sleep at night I want to know we are by the book. Do it right, guys. Do better.

MY STORY:
In 2016 I had been in law enforcement for 7 years.
I was not in control of my schedule, I was hardly making any money, and I was away from my family working nights and holidays. I was capable of more, and I was silently suffering. I knew I was selling myself and my family short.
I started Florida Turf Pros as a side hustle in 2016 before going full time in 2017.
My lawn business changed my life.
I control my own schedule, control my own income, and I am proud of what I have built; a business that supports me, my family, and some employees.
If you are a lawn care business owner, this channel will be a valuable resource for you.
This really is a great industry to be in, and I hope that by documenting my journey it will help you.
