Lawn Care Business
Recently I had decided it was time for me to go out onto my own and plunge into the world of business. Even though I had only been working in the corporate world for a decade, I was getting fed up with my job. I had felt trapped most days and and the company I was with was smaller, meaning I had already made it to the top of the short ladder I was climbing.
The industry I had worked in did not allow me to start a business of my own without having very deep pockets. And it was time for a much needed career change.
After talking with my significant other I had decided that the business with the least amount of capital required for start up, and something I could do was to start a lawn care business. I already had a truck, push lawn mower, riding lawn mower, rototiller, and an aerator. With this in hand I felt that I could be making money in a lawn care business in a very short period of time. Of course, not as much as I was making with my current job, but enough to pay the bills. And with all the write offs, I would be closer to my old income after taxes.
The first step for me to get started was to make sure all of my licensing was in place and getting myself a company name. This was the easy part. The came the harder part, and I had no idea just how much harder this part actually would be. You see, I had no real idea on starting a lawn care business. Yes, I could do all of the work, and quite well in my opinion. I had been taking care of my three and a half acre lot for nine years now, and this was my pride and joy. Making money at this was a different can of beans though. I very quickly learned that I needed to learn something about marketing if I was to succeed.
I quickly dived into the subject and discovered this was to become one of my most enjoyable hobbies ever. Of course the marketing I had learned helped me to build my one man company into five empoyees very quickly. I would highly recommend for anyone that is thinking of leaving the corporate world to find a niche they enjoy, learn to market, jump in, and never look back.
