There are a lot of misconceptions about flat rate pricing and one is that you don't need to know your hourly rate if you charge flat rate. While you may be charging flat rate, knowing your hourly cost is still essential for goal setting (and how you're going to meet that goal via investment in ads, more efficient equipment, etc), tracking, and goal achievement.  If you're looking to really build a business and not just do the work and hope the numbers work out at the end, you NEED to know your hourly rate.

The lawn industry, specifically mowing, has been littered with failed business models since I got into it in 1979. From low balling to get tons of work, low balling then raising prices, and more, it seems that the same bad ideas get recycled, repackaged and now resold as great ideas. Sadly, people think these ideas will create a successful business when in reality, it's a pipe dream built on tons of work and headache and little real reward besides a lot of cash flow. What we are here to share today is that there is a better way. A way that doesn't require a "growth phase", insane price increases, working with everybody who just wants a cheap service, working dawn to dusk and missing out on family and pesonal time, and being just another cheap lawn guy willing to undercut instead of sell on real value. This better way isn't a get rich quick scheme, it does require hard work, learning about your company's real cost per hour, how to properly and professionally bid, how to advertise and sell, and more. It is actually learning how to be a business person and business owner instead of another cheap lawn guy. What I will say about this way is that it led me out of nearly 6 figure debt in the 80's, led my business to be ranked as a top 10 small business by Landscape Management magazine, and has led me here to my 46 season in the lawn and landscape industry. If you're looking for a sustainable model that is time tested and will help you build the business to help you live your dreams, check out Profits Unlimited and the products and coaching we offer to help you earn what you deserve.

I see it all the time, the flyers in the neighborhoods and online Facebook ads from mow and blows advertising $25, $30, $35, and $40 lawn mowing. They want to scoop up all the mowing they can get and do it for as cheap as possible because the more work, the more money! WRONG! It doesn't matter how much work you do, if you're not making money on the job, you're LOSING MONEY. Cash flow is great but it only can take you so far especially when you are actually losing money. I know because that was my business model for almost a decade and it landed me $90,000 in debt before I had my realization that there is a better way!!  Comment the word "Profit" below if you're tired of the "grind" and finally want to earn what you deserve!

With 45 years in the lawn and landscape business, it never fails to amazing and frustrate me when I see low ball bids, however, now it's even coming from companies who should know better.  This video is not to call out for the sake of calling out, but to call out in hopes of getting some answers. I would love to sit down with Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care with locations all over the country, and talk about how he can sincerely sell franchises to people and let them sell mowing for $39. This particular property is one that we actually do and I would LOVE to be able to sell it for $39, but I have ran our numbers and theoretical numbers through our cost calculation system and I have no idea how it's possible for this size property.  Mike, please reach out and let's have a conversation about this because I'd love to have you explain to my audience, me, and the entire industry how you came up with this $39 price.

This is not an exaggerated story, a friend sent me a screenshot of a post some had put up in a popular job listing platform. The lady said she was looking for a lawn service and she had already had 10 lawn services this year.

I got an email in my inbox the other day from a well known industry franchiser talking about revenue from their franchises and it got me thinking about revenue and profit. Which is more important? I know there was a 10 year span in my business where I obsessed over revenue and it put me nearly $90,000 in debt without the ability to pay myself even after 80-90 hours of work per week. That's why I made the change within my lawn business to also make sure profit is at the top of my mind when setting goals and not just revenue.

Have you ever pulled up to a job and saw that work was either being completed or was already completed that you did? A service more profitable like mulching and trimming, landscaping, or fert and weed that you offer but your clients didn't know so they hired someone else to do it. You have been doing the hard part for weeks or months or years (mowing the grass) and this other company gets the good stuff! It's easy to get mad at the other business or the client, but in reality, it's your fault that you didn't properly inform them and do it consistently.

Too many times we think how great it would be to add a huge lawn maintenance client. We think of the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per month they would add to our income. This leads to the question, "am I big enough to do it?" The easy answer is yes. It's not too hard to add equipment, trucks, and people. The question we should be asking is "am I big enough to lose it" because what happens if they fire you? You're stuck with a bunch of added expense and less income to pay for that added expense.  For more on Profits Unlimited check us out all the places below!

In this video, we dive into the world of "hit-a-lick" lawn and landscape contractors who take on sporadic jobs just to make quick cash. These contractors don't run legitimate businesses, often using hand-me-down equipment, avoiding taxes, and failing to invest in proper business practices like insurance and pricing. We discuss how their lowball bids and lack of reliability impact the industry and why it's crucial for professionals to understand proper pricing and business setup.

In this video, I share a story from our lawn and landscape business that happened just a few weeks ago. We had a client remain loyal to us for over a decade and decided to fire us after another contractor came in about a third lower than us. This video is not me crying about losing a client, it's really about how contractors like this have destroyed and continue to destroy the industry by low balling prices so bad that they set the industry back YEARS. As a lawn and landscape business owner for the past 46 years, it's not new, but it is frustrating and as a business coach I see it as an opportunity to help you realize the negative impacts of doing this and why it's SO important to find your breakeven point, calculate your desired profit, and charge at a rate that is sustainable for both your business and the industry.
