with unique ideas and secrets. Through this manual you can start and run a successful lawn mowing business and if you do have any questions after reading it, you are invited to call the author himself and get your questions answered. O.K. now we're getting down to the nitty gritty. In this section you will find every method I have ever used or heard of for quoting. Ch 16: Costs & Charges Part 5 The Job As my mother used to say to me ‘It's not what you do it's the way you do it!' Anyone can mow a lawn, but the trick is to do it well! Ch 19: Lawns An actual contractors b/plan with notes and explanations. As they say: Businesses don't plan to fail, they merely fail to plan! Ch 23: Example Business Plan Ch 24: Contacts & References Departing Note Doing The Job Ch 21: Forms & Such Second Edition We have just finished updating the manual and you will receive the 2 nd edition of Lawn Mowing: Fastrak to success. Along with a lot more information on the industry, machinery, tips and tricks we have also included an example business plan, written by a lawn-mowing contractor, with a guide to writing your own. Why The 2nd Edition? Now that is a question we have been asked quite a bit over the past few months. The feedback from our first edition was great; virtually everyone loved what it contained and how it was written. To be honest with you, the responses we were getting surprised the heck out of me. I am a lawn-mowing contractor, not an author J . While we were and still are happy with the first edition of our manual; however, there is always room for improvement. As in life, you are always learning in business. No matter how much experience you have, or how many books you have read, you are always learning new things. While I have had over 20 years experience in lawn mowing, I now also have over 3 years experience starting contractors up in lawn mowing. I have learnt their fears and I now know better then ever the problems that they may face, questions they will ask and problems we will face as a team. As an independent business I could never have got the insight that I have by helping contractors Australia wide, from the beginning and sometimes to the end. Even states and suburbs can be different in this country, we are a diverse nation, there's no doubt about that. |
