Hi Rob i did 30 years in the motor trade, it does sow a seed in the testers head that its a well maintained vehicle if its spotless inside and out 👍.
Hi Rob, I contacted all my customers last week. I've had one drop out, but all thr rest have confirmed with a yes. I find the earlier you contact them the better. I think some forget they have a garden🤦♂️ I'm now booked up for the season with regular mowing, treatments and spring renovation.
Good luck for the season 👍 and keep up the great videos 👏
Nice to see a bump in subscribers Rob. It starts to snowball the bigger you get 👍🤞
Great content as always maxwell answering questions nobody dares to ask.
Great video Rob. You come across very well in the videos, and speak with clear intent. I am finding your videos useful. I hate the financial side to business. I'd graft all day but put off the housekeeping.
Do you think you’ll invest in a bigger van this year ? Hope all is well
On 13 feb will say hello by message to all ex customers
3.47 you mean 2023
Hi Rob, I know you have touched base on advertising before I am starting my own garden business and am currently doing the weekly posts on Facebook I would like to get some flyers in some doors but when do you think the best time to do this would be I want to get the timing right not too soon not too late.
Cheers
I would tell everyone who’s self employed to save 29% of the monthly takings put in a building society account min 30 day notice or premium bonds I got caught out when I had to pay the tax because I didn’t get the whole payment on account thing😢 if you don’t save it you will alway feel like you are working to just pay tax and that’s how some fail
What's the earliest you've done your first cut rob .? I was working in grangetown Sunderland passed through a industrial estate checked the length of grass as we do in the trade then saw a large block of grass had been tip cut ? Grass cutting in January is a thing I've never done butttttt looking at the grass we may be cutting really early this year …good vid rob keep em comeing
It may seem very quiet at the moment, but it will all kick off soon. I know exactly what you are talking about pal.
It’s 2023 Rob..😂
I've just became self employed in the North East mate Northumberland even and just managed to get my first few jobs of the year managed to bag 2 regular fortnightly grass cutting jobs in the book and just quoted a leylandi conifer removal and in total 84ft of fencing to put up hoping that comes in and it will be a good start to the year so far
Still enjoy your vids pal…. Starting to move away from day to day profession as an engineer and into gardening. Luckily my shift pattern allows for this
Thanks for all your info over the winter months about your marketing and going through my PA1 and PA6.
😂All well and good ,But if I had feathers sticking out of my arse i would be a chicken😂 Great content though 👍
Build up the maintenance, its regular and guarantted, I am 57 and am dropping customers with borders and weeding etc,
Still doing hedges and shrubs but will be cutting down on them.
If i switch to cut and edge totally there will be no hassle , lose some customers but can replace them tomorrow.
I will do hedges for certain customers only.
Love the mot comment Rob.. i do exactly the same and its my pal who does my mot 😂…i tell both my daughter's to do the same but they look at me as if I was stupid 😂
Great video, enjoyed listening to your thoughts as always. Keep up the good work.
