Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good lawn is very often the central feature of a modern garden, whether in town or the countryside. It therefore needs much more care and very often extra expert care than many of the other plants in the garden. The properly maintained lawn is no longer just an area of grass but the backdrop or canvas for the rest of the garden. If the lawn looks good, so will the rest of the garden. Although this manual has been written with the professional gardener or aspiring lawn care specialist in mind, many of the aspects of lawn care within the volume are no more than practical advice which will be of interest and use to both the professional and amateur. This manual is business-oriented and in fact starts with generic questions about starting up a business plan and focuses down to launching a properly constituted lawn care business. It also outlines all the pitfalls of not only being in business for yourself but the implications of employing people, as well as all the anticipated issues which can result from contracting. It is constructed in such a way that whether you are thinking of starting a lawn care business or whether you are already involved, there will be something of use to you. Everything is included from how to go about your accounting to making your business legal...with even a section on the correct tools to acquire. It is written by an experienced gardener who has created a successful lawn care business and who is now passing on his experience by highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of not only working within the horticultural industry but how to go about building a business from scratch. The manual is written in a very readable and sympathetic way rather than in a technical and prescriptive style, so that it provides both an informal and informative reference source for all professional and semi-professional gardeners, without ignoring the amateur!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Cracking the Code to Profit? Cracking the Code to Profit is the complete, start to finish blueprint for building a REAL BUSINESS in the lawn care and landscaping industry. The author, Ryan Sciamanna, shares all his knowledge on how he went from a solo operator to six crews in three years. Who is the book for? Cracking the Code to Profit is for anyone thinking about starting a lawn care business to companies trying to break through the $200k to $300k gross revenue barrier. If you would like to, but are not already, making $100k per year as the owner of your lawn care company, you will benefit from reading this book. Why Ryan wrote the book: In 2016 Ryan narrowed his lawn care companies service offering down to lawn mowing and lawn treatments only. Prior to that, his company was a full-service lawn and landscape service provider offering all of the typical services including mulching, pruning, cleanups, leaf removals, hardscapes, landscape design and installation, and snow removal. He made the change in his business model to increase profit margins and reduce the amount of time required of him as the owner of the business. Naturally, he needed to find referral partners for his lawn care customers because they still had other lawn and landscape needs his company no longer performed. He contacted several other lawn and landscape business owners in his area and told them he wanted to send them referrals for the work his company no longer performed and only asked they don't 'steal' his customers for the services they were still providing. After shooting off the first several referrals, Ryan quickly realized that a lot of these companies needed help and until they improved their business operations, referring his clients to them was only making him look bad! He has since stopped referring work with the exception of a couple companies that proved they would provide his customers quality work at fair prices and actually be reliable. Ryan says, "I think most lawn care business owners started their business just like I did...they enjoyed the work and were good at it, so they said, why not work for myself. In the beginning, it usually goes pretty smooth, but as they add more and more customers and eventuallyneed to hire employees, they get in over their heads. I did the same thing, but quickly educated myself on how to run an actualbusiness and not just be self-employed." He organized all of his knowledge into Cracking the Code to Profit in hopes it will save new business owners years of frustration. Ryan read a similar 'book' before he started his business that his father had bought for him online. It was actually just a word document that someone had written on starting a lawn care business and his dad printed it off for him. It cost his father $79.95 for that! Ryan still has that 'book' and even though it was overpriced, terrible quality and a lot of the information was not good, he still credits that book towards helping him get his business off the ground. What you can expect from Cracking the Code to Profit - How to Start a Lawn Care Business: The book flows in chronological order from starting your business to your exit strategy. Ryan put every detail he could recall from his own experience. You can see the book chapters in the book preview. After each chapter, action steps are included so you know exactly what you need to do. At the end of the book, you will find the resource section for continued learning and execution. You can expect to have a much better understanding of how to start and grow your lawn care business is a healthy, profitable way. Ryan's contact info is also included in the book. He would love to hear from you after you finish it!

This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I first got my business started, I didn't really know anyone who was an entrepreneur. I had no one I could bounce ideas off of or compare my crazy stories with. For all I knew at the time, I was the only one who ran into problems with my business. Later when I got the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum started, I began to realize that everyone who runs their own business, has issues they have to deal with. Whether they are business, personal, family, mental, financial, medical, or whatever. This book takes a look at the issues business owners from The Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum have dealt with. It shines a light on topics not often talked about. As you read this book, you will learn about issues you can outright avoid, issues you can try your best to avoid, and issues that will just sneak up on you. Once they happen, you will learn the best ways to minimize their damage so you can move forwards quicker. Ultimately you will learn crazy things happen to all entrepreneurs. If you find yourself dealing with some heavy issues, you are not alone. I wish there was a book like this to read when I was getting started, so I didn't feel so alone and lost, worrying if I had what it takes to make it. Wasting my time worrying was time I could have spent being more productive. So my message to you is, don't sweat the small stuff. Crazy things will happen. Read this book, learn what to watch out for, and be more productive. Some of the topics discussed in the book include: - Customer problems. Watch out for these customer warning signs. - Equipment issues. - Theft! Learn how others got their equipment stolen! Could you ever imagine it happening at a red light? - Money. - Estimating jobs and underbidding them. - Personal problems. Your wife wants a vacation! - Contracts and lawsuits. - Labor problems. How to find good help. - Disasters. What to do when you break a customer's window. - On the job injuries. You won't believe how many business owners get carpal tunnel syndrome. - Life lessons. - Finding balance. - Success!
