Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Many, many, business owners love the biblical book of Proverbs and for good reason. It isn't called the book of wisdom for nothing. But, if you read the reast of the bible, especially Jesus life in the Gospels, you will see that Jesus basically goes against everything our human nature would do in business. Proverbs leaves room for taking someone to court or even revenge, but Jesus leaves no room for either of those things. Jesus says, "turn the other cheek" and "do good to those who persecute you". So how are we suppose to think of these two differing pictures we see in the bible? Let's talk about it.  Book: It's Not Your Business by Gary Miller https://amzn.to/4g3d17O    **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Technology has consumed our culture in America and it is only getting worse. Recently I found myself down the social media rabbit hole and it consumed my life.

IT is amazing how freeing it feels to be doom scrolling on facebook for hours at a time. I sleep better, I am more present with my family, and I am way completing more business tasks than ever before.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Today I was listening to the Fullerton Unfiltered podcast and something Brian said got me to look back on my first year of business as Sutter Brothers Lawn Care. If you didn't know I had a business in Lansing, MI for the last 10 years and shut it down when we purchased my childhood home that was located 50 miles away from Lansing. I started this lawn care season with just two lawn mowing clients. Now that we're in August I can say that I have 15 clients (these are very big lawns, 3-5 acres) and I am about half way to where I was when I closed down my business in Lansing. If you want to hear the rest of the story listen to the podcast. It is an amazing story.    **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

I had an enlightening conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight, the driving forces behind Turf Tamers Landscaping in Fort Collins. Brian shared how he acquired Turf Tamers, initially a tiny business, and grew it from the ground up starting with a few clients in 2001.  Brian shared his background, and the drama in moving from “trendy” California to “cowtown” Fort Collins in high school - but how he soon fit right in and found summer work in landscaping.  Mary, on the other hand, came to CSU from Indiana and studied global tourism. They met at the Rio, and their shared passion for adventure and travel led to a quick connection, and soon jobs and business opportunities in Chile.They bought property in Chilean Patagonia in 2008, and over the years developed both the property and deep relationships with the neighboring families.  Despite travel challenges and lack of infrastructure - their valley finally got electric power in 2016! - they've developed an amazing fishing and recreation property in one of the most unique glacial valleys in Patagonia, and we spend a fair bit of time exploring their valley and the local culture.   Brian and Mary also shared extensively about their business evolution, particularly how incorporating systems and focusing on quality customer service has been their key to success. Brian appreciated how Mary's involvement sped their evolution, and how his membership in LoCo Think Tank has broadened his and their perspectives.  For young  people, they emphasized the importance of travel and entrepreneurship, and shared how their focus on values informs their business and family decisions. Our time together was an exploration of building a business and a life with intention and an adventurous spirit, so please tune in and enjoy my conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more
