What's your full time job bobby?Originally posted by bobbygedd
a word of advice. for any of you considering selling out and workin for someone else, think again. i worked for a company for 13 years, was on the verge of a nervous break down, started my lawn business, wasnt makin much, but it was enough so i wouldnt starve. i walked out on my job one day. i just decided that i was too good to be treated this way, walked out without saying a word. 5 weeks later i got a job with a major competitor. they were so glad to have me, and kissed my butt just to keep me. the money is good, but sometimes that dont matter. been there like 8 yrs now. it blows!coworkers are border line retarted, i have to punch a clock, im in the same 4 walls ALL DAMN NIGHT LONG. i really dont have to do much while im there, but i still need to muster up the energy to bring myself to go there every day. on the other hand, i jump out of bed in the morning to go cut my lawns. i have more pride and self respect while im sweating my arse off as a lawn boy, for half the pay, than when im at my job. if you are the kind of person who likes what he sees when he looks in the mirror, then stick with your business. make it work. do things to keep yourself from getting bored or burned out. start another division, with a related but different type of service. expand, cut them all with a pushmower if u have to if u need a change. what i do sometimes to break up the feeling of repetativeness is use a different set of mowers and trimmers and blowers every week. alternate trucks, whatever you have to do. but DONT, PLEASE DONT, get a job working for someone else.
