Why I Chose Lawn Care
Set Your Own Income
Reaching $5,000+/month in recurring monthly revenue is simply a matter of taking on enough monthly customers (40-50~ depending on your average price)- and maintaining them from there! The mows are locked in for every month- and any other services you offer is additional income on top. No chasing & quoting new jobs 24/7- land your customers once & keep them!
Work From Your Own Schedule
You tell the customers when you can be there- not the other way around! Create your ideal work week on paper, and once you begin getting your quotes- you work backwards & begin telling the customers what day you will be in THEIR area. Fill in your work days 1 by 1 until each day is filled, and now you're maintaining your $5,000/month recurring revenue by staying within the workday parameters that you laid out.
100% Fully Provide For Yourself
With the skills you learn from this business, you will NEVER have to rely on another person/company/job to feed you & you family. You will learn how to operate a business anywhere in the world, and all the skills you learn here will translate into ALL your future business ventures. Registering, marketing, branding, labor, invoicing, scheduling, scaling, customer communications & retention, etc. (Lawn care business model = "lemonade stand" on steroids)
I went to college and got a bachelors degree in Communications- but like many others I had no desire/direction/any idea on what I wanted to do after school. It wasn't until applying for jobs in the "real-world" right after graduating that I soon realized:
- I did not want to spend all day inside 4 walls under artificial lighting, or staring at a computer screen all day. I wanted to be mobile and have the ability to explore the outdoors of my city each & every day!
- I did not want to be surrounded by "default" co-workers where I had no say on who I was going to be working with/next to- I wanted to pick WHO I worked with at all times.
-
And no matter how much I would be getting paid- it would never be worth losing the freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted- just like you would usually give up when working for another person/company
- I thought, why not just post an ad for some basic lawn care work in the meantime for some quick money while I figure all this out. From that one single ad- it brought me to the position & YouTube channel that you see today!
More reasons why I love the lawn care business model:
-
You do not need a brick & mortar storefront- you can operate out of your home with only a vehicle and your lawn equipment! You are extremely mobile & light on your feet at all times
-
You do not have to deal with people on a daily basis! (Unless you want to.) The only time you will really talk is when landing a new customer- after that they are locked on the schedule. Around 99% of my customers pay online, so I simply slice through all of my routes each day without having to stop or talk to anyone. If you choose to have a helper- then that will be the only person you talk to! I like keeping to myself, and I like working at my own pace so I choose to mainly work solo.
-
When running full capacity, I have 40-50~ paying customers that all have a small, equal stake in my income- vs one hourly/salary job. If a customer lets me go- I have 39-49~ OTHER customers still paying me + 1000's of surrounding houses to replace that customer with!
- Is it perfect? No- as is nothing. There will always be a pro & con to what we pick in life. But, lawn care in itself has shown me that I am fully capable of providing for myself & those around- and that is itself is worth more than any amount of money.

About Zach
I'm 27, an only child, and was born in San Francisco before moving to San Antonio around age 2. Growing up I didn't play any sports- I just spent all my time skateboarding & always enjoyed being in nature. After high school- I began realizing how introverted & analytical I was becoming, so I had to think of a career/way to make money that would allow me to cater to my strengths. I liked being outside, I liked working on my own, and I wanted to make a ton of money while still being able to control my schedule.
Growing up- my parents operated (and still do) a good size tree trimming & landscaping business & use 3-4 workers at a tine. They make great money, and wanted me to take it over when I was done with school. I never quite felt right "taking it over"- I always wanted to build something on my own. On top of that, money or not- I didn't want to be completely reliant on workers at all times. I just wanted a simple way where I could make my own money & ride off into the sunset!
I had observed enough of their business over the years, I've mowed yards for some of their customers when I was 16 (against my will lol- my mom made me do it), so I knew how to mow a basic yard. I had their old beat-up tools sitting in the garage, so I decided one day just to post an ad for basic lawn mowing on Craigslist. I posted that ad while I was sitting at a table in the Vietnamese restaurant I was working at (server was my last job before going all in on lawn care)
From that ad, I got a call the very next day for my first customer! It was a lady across the neighborhood from mine, she had a small overgrown yard w/ shredded dog toys all over the yard. She asked how much to mow it- I said $45 because it was a foot tall. She said "great let's do it!" Then she asked how much to clean up the dog toys- I said (caught off-guard) "Uh.. $20 additional? She said "perfect can you do it tomorrow?" I said I sure can and boom I was there the next day.
From that job, I made $65 in around 75 minutes and the 💡 moment went off. I just made what took me 5-6 hours cleaning the noodles off of tables in almost one hour... and I had FUN while doing it. I got to pull up in my parents truck, I got to use these badass power tools, and I controlled the entire job! My priority became getting more customers- and within a month I matched my monthly serving income & quit that job in a heartbeat. Ever since then I have spent the past 5 years operating my lawn care business- learning something new each & everyday. This business has taught me more & given me so much more confidence than my entire time spent in college. I have real-world skills from first hand experience, I know how to provide myself, and I know how to build & maintain a business from scratch. That's where this program comes in- I'm here to teach you how to do the same learning from my own journey! Become your own boss forever 👍
