Nothing wrong with being part time, I think almost everyone started out that way, at least I did, after I got layed off I worked part time and did landscaping and lawncare part time I now am full time landscaping and lawncare and part time clock puncher about 8 hrs a week on the weekends, keeps me out of trouble. Most of the military is now part time people, National Guard and reservists, I had to train them when I was on active duty as a DI.Doesn't really affect performance in any field I don't think. If your good your good.

I'm part time as we'll. Never tell my customers unless they ask. I'm a fireman, so I work 24/48 shifts. So basically every week I either get 3 or 4 full days not including one weekend day as well. So you may as we'll say it's full time for me. Plus when they do find out they always like that

not knocking part timers, but most of my high end clients would not accept working on their properties late afternoon, evenings, and especially on the weekends

I can't speak for others but for myself I don't work wkends.

As far as evenings I'll leave the full time job early depending on what I'm cutting that day to get home by 7:00 everyday that I cut.

Haven't had a problem with any clients about cutting late afternoon or early evening. That would be for high end clients and developements.

I guess you'll have those situations but I haven't and I keep my customers long term.
