How to Start $58K/Month Landscaping Business (Pt. 1)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Do you love landscaping? Have you ever considered it as a career? Brian Linson turned his passion for lawn care into a $700K/year landscaping business-and so can you, if you follow the advice in this video.
Here's the link to Part 2: • How to Start $58K/Mont...
Brian founded BL Landscapes six years ago based on his 25 years of experience building and maintaining landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. The company has grown consistently year after year, and is on target to do so again in 2020 with sales nearing $800K.
One big key to their success is their reputation in the community. They have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and were voted Best of Whidbey for 4 years straight, testament to their popularity in the region.
In this interview, we talk to Brian about starting a lawn care business. He’ll tell us how much it costs to start a landscaping company, what equipment you’ll need, and how he’s grown his crew to accommodate increasing demand.
Delivering quality work is crucial to success as a landscaping company, but keeping costs low is just as important for profits. BL Landscapes uses just one crew and that helps keep margins high. We’ll find out how Brian manages his team to maximize both morale and productivity and keep his business on track.
Even if you’re not in landscaping, Brian’s entrepreneurial advice can help people across industries manage their business better.

I had this passion make the company bigger with more work but figuring out if thats the best thing long term. heard from many people to not to labor work for the rest of my life. should i go collage and go into a field of something or should I work to expand the business and or branch out doing other stuff. I would appreciate some feed back as im stuck in this moment

@@UpFlip no music would be much better - it takes away from the genuine feel you produce while interviewing these folks - IMO - I find the music to be way louder than the audio of the actual video and find myself adjusting audio on your videos. I feel like it takes away from the message the channels trying to convey. Just some constructive criticism - I’ve watched at least 25-30 of your videos since I found the channel! Hope it doesn’t come off as a dig - I appreciate your content.
