Two Guys and a Mower Update:
This door to door knocking continues to pay off! A lot of people are scared to do the door to door scene...but if you can simply put that fear aside and plant the seed with your client directly...you're more then likely to get more favorable results because the client then knows not only what they are about to get...but when...and who they will be receiving the service from.
With all success stories comes the failure that precedes that success. If you constantly visualize what it is you are wanting in your business, you will only succeed. If you visualize the fear and risk associated with starting your business....You will notice those aspects more and more.
We managed to get a new truck! This was the only piece of equipment that we didn't have a back up on so we found it crucial to have one. It wasn't necessarily in the budget but considering we are only 6 weeks away from mowing our first yard...it had to be done.

Incredible news! We are up to 17 yards thus far! It's amazing how fast a business can grow if you can simply take a little time and effort and apply it toward the marketing. I only handed out around 100 fliers this week but in the process of doing so knocked on around 100 doors. Face to Face contact is EXTREMELY important when starting a business. Everybody hands out fliers....nobody cares about them anymore. People inherently want to do what you tell them...and when you tell them about how important it is to have your service...they will listen and consider it every single time! Not only do we currently have 17 yards...but we have at least another 4 coming because of the door knocking.
So remember to:
1. Face to Face Contact will bring in better results then lame ol' fliers!
2. Always follow up with your future potential clients!

It's the small and simple things that can make or break a business...and when you're at your starting point you want to efficiently make all of the right decisions that put you in the right direction to most effectively grow your business as quickly as possible!
This week we purchased
our final piece of equipment that we needed...the oh so awesome HRC 216 Honda Commercial Grade Mower! We currently own 2 of these mowers which is great for a few reasons: 1. They are $1,200 dollar mowers and the best in the industry 2. We got both of them for less then $800 dollars through constantly searching Craigslist.com, and 3. They are extremely durable and made to last years and and years at a time! So my advice when buying equipment for your business....don't waste your time by purchasing inadequate equipment and always look around for the best deal!
We've started the marketing process
for growing this business and acquiring more clients. Thus far this year we have handed out around 800 fliers and as of yesterday I went and knocked on some doors! Now do know that I did this with 12 inches of melting snow on the grass! Strangely...through simply knocking on doors I managed to get two new weekly clients and two new bi-weekly clients. The end result of this will be thousands of dollars of residual income all by simply taking two hours out of my day and knocking on some doors. When people would turn me away...instead of dwelling on the rejection...I would just focus on getting to the next door! And getting to that next door in the long run had a greater outcome then that of giving up when rejection was there.
If you're interested in saving some money.....
I just did my taxes recently and have six $20 dollar off coupons for getting taxes done with Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. If you want one let me know and I'll mail you a coupon in the mail!
