Try to get your customers on a yearly aggreement. Take the total cost and divide by twelve to give them a fixed monthly price.<p>EXAMPLE: $30 per visit.<br> 30 visits per year.<br> $900 total yearly cost to customer<br> 900/12=$75 per month
Work your butt off in the summer and save your money to make your payments in the winter. <p>Yea I know it's hard to save money but if you want to take 3 or 4 months off in the winter Use that as your motivation to save.<br> <br>It's worked for me now for several years<p>I do plow snow in the winter but I don't plan on getting any, so what little we get is gravy.
All seasonal businesses have to charge enough money on each job to get them through the off season. Yea I agree you have to sacrifice your spring and summer to make it through the winter and through droughts. Same with contracts. You need to charge top dollar if you have a high overhead to meet your monthly bills and put money into savings and pay yourself. You can't compare being self employed like you would being in a factory working 12 month out of the year. You may make 35$ hr working this job. But depending on the weather you may only work 9 months out of the year.
