Magnificent Mowing

I love Lawn mowing and running my small business. I'm a college freshman who started mowing about 3 months ago. I mow about 7yards & do Brushwork. I make more than my friends who make sandwiches but I'm using alot of my money reinvesting in equipment. I'm using my 2001 Honda civic to transport my tools. I can fit two lawnmowers in the car. I could have all the jobs i want. I know how to market and have found great customers. However i have really bad equipment, mostly residential stuff. I have a logo and have the whole passing out fliers thing down. My gross revenue has been just over $1000. I have about $600 in cash. How should i go about moving forward. Give Me a like on Facebook

I would suggest you contact a local chapter of SCORE. Set up an appointment and meet with the councilors with specific questions and goals. Prepare to have some homework and continue to work towards your goals. The service is free and the investment in time
and effort should prove very rewarding. All the best.

I would say saving your money would be the best way to move forward. The Civic is kind of holding you back mower wise so save up and if you feel you want to take things further than you are able to with your current setup than dropped the saved money on a small truck and the equipment that would best suite the yards and other work that you mostly do. Best of luck, good to see you starting early and as long as you like what you do it really isnt a job.
