Send us a textIf you're running a $1M lawn care business and want to grow it to $10M, this episode breaks down what actually needs to change to make that leap. Dan and Miranda talk through the mindset shifts and leadership habits that separate stuck operators from confident CEOs. They explain why focusing only on top-line sales can hold you back, and how shifting your attention to profit and efficiency changes the game. You'll hear how moving from daily problem-solver to system-builder frees you up to lead, and why developing leaders inside your team is one of the most important things you can do if you want to scale. They also cover how personal growth is tied to business growth—and what happens when you ignore it. If you're aiming for long-term growth and a business that can run without you, this episode is for you!Got thoughts or questions? Email us at info@ceocoach.biz

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Recently I did a driveway project and I had bid plans for how this thing was going to go. I had it all planned out. I had the time of everything perfect in my mind and everything was going to run on schedule includng the delivery of 27 yards of crushed limestone. The only problem was that nothing went to plan. It was 104 degrees out side. My geo textile fabric got wrapped around my power rake drum, twice, and the limestone that I scheduled for 3 pm came at 12:30. This project did not go as planned.  **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

Originally from Simcoe, the pair spent years working side by side at Norfolk Golf & Country Club before making the move north.

This episode features a security guard forced to be “seen and not heard” at a bank, leading to some creative silent treatment and a perfect case of contract-based compliance. We also hear about a manager who demanded a lawn be mowed in the rain, a warehouse worker who dressed far too professionally to move boxes, and a new hire who took a “no questions” policy to the extreme. From workplace pettiness to policy-driven rebellion, these stories prove that when management gives ridiculous orders, employees find a way to follow them literally.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your ultimate guide to making good homes better! We're here every week, ready to take your calls and tackle your home improvement dilemmas, whether you have questions about painting, plumbing, home safety, security, your roof and gutters, electrical work, energy efficiency, or even curb appeal ideas. Coming up, we'll cover some essential topics to keep your home in top shape, including: - Smart Summer Lawn Care Tips: Learn how to water wisely, mow like a pro, and keep your yard green without wasting time or money, making it easier than you think to win the battle against the summer heat. - Metal Roofs: If you're thinking about replacing your roof, find out why metal roofs aren't just for barns anymore. We'll discuss their styles, incredible storm protection, and the surprising ways they can save you money, energy, and maintenance for decades. - Storm-Proofing Your Home: Get simple steps to prepare your home and yard for storms, plus how to build an emergency kit so you're not caught off guard when the thunder rolls. - Summer Heat Safety: We'll also cover crucial tips to keep your home cool and safe during dangerous heat waves.   Q & A: - Alex from West Virginia has a question about grading the lot of his 1926 American Four Square home, which has a significant 10-foot drop. He wants to level out his front and back yards, so we recommend building a retaining wall, but emphasize the need for proper engineering due to the project's size and scope. - Helen from Montana was on the line with a bubbling paint question. We suggested the paint might not have adhered because the wood was too wet or the correct primer wasn't used, and advised her to contact the painter to resolve the issue. - Kevin from Rhode Island asked about keeping his basement dry after replacing a 3-foot downspout extension with a 2-foot cement one and noticing his basement became damp. To keep his basement drier, he needs to move excess moisture away from the foundation, extending downspouts at least 3 feet away, and consider a dehumidifier for the space. - Debbie from Ontario called with a question about cracks in her concrete patio that appeared shortly after it was poured. We identified that there's no structural repair needed, so she can cosmetically seal the cracks with a suitable product. - Doug in Florida inquired about rust stains on his concrete pool deck from patio furniture and pool ladders. We explained that the rust is likely from iron deposits in his water, and there's likely not much he can do to stop it long-term. - Gail from Massachusetts suspected mold in her den because it smelled after it rained. She should focus on ventilation and dehumidification, plus addressing external drainage issues like clogged gutters, downspout placement, and sloping soil around the house to reduce overall moisture.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

From a bold decision to buy a weekend curbing business off a neighbor to growing it into a full-scale landscaping operation, Kirstin shares her unique entrepreneurial journey. You'll hear how she went from hands-on curb installation to managing crews, balancing family life, and stepping in and out of the business as it evolved.
