Part time?

[Big Heath]

Has anyone have a full time job or have a full time job other than lawn maintenance? I want to get started in the biz but am only limited to 4 residential acounts as of now. How many do you or did you have when you decided it was cool to be full time. I am ready to get away from the factory!:clapping:

I just spent 35K and have no customers. That's one extreme I guess. I also know that I will make a profit this year regardless and I have a stash in the bank to get me through. It all depends on who you are and how you're positioned in life. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Keep your full time job until you get more established. I've been doing this part time for 4 years. Just recently went part time from full time on the job end. Had a few chances to grow but held back. This year I'm not.

Sorry but no pics. Most of it went to the truck. Add the wright standard and all the other equipment, tarps, barrels, ect. it adds up fast. Still need to get a plow, hoist for the bed, and leaf sucker. I know most don't make money the first year but I know my market extremely well and although I won't pay everything off the first year I will be able to pay all my bills and have a little left over to put gas in the boat and buy a few lobsters and beer. Can't forget the beer.:drinkup: :drinkup:
