Competition survey.
On one of the other Ownr Ops pages I was reading they recommend seeing how many other companies offer forestry mulching / fire mitigation, as a service, with 50 miles of your location. How many of you did this and what did you find? I'm trying to figure out if my area is oversaturated. Thanks in advance.

@Matt Lohrey nope, Lol. I wanted to rent a machine first, but i could not bring myself to spend that much, when a monthly payment on a new setup was half of what a week's rental fee is. I just scheduled them for a month out. The very first day I went out to do job estimates and I booked 3 in a row after running fb ads for 1 week. That was good enough for me to go buy a machine. I thought... if i can book jobs after only that much time, then I could really hit a home run with this if I put effort into it. Since then, I can't keep up with all the work.

@Matt Lohrey smart move
2wk Update.. I resigned from my W-2 đŸ˜±
2nd Week Business Update! TL:DR Metrics Ad Spend $400.67 Leads total - 18 CPL - $30.12 Closed - 4 Sales - $8,300 đŸ™âœšïž Potential Client of 40 Acres And my current client waiting for me to do the 1 Acre job before giving me his 9 acre property to do! Long story short, by the grace of God I quit my job today. I promised them I'll finish my 12 hr shift and I resigned. I love the people I worked with, I really do. But I love my family more and I had shifts that switched to days then evenings then back to days and it seemed very unstable for my family's schedule. Also I have made more money for my family in 2 weeks worth of business than a job has ever given me! The goal now is to reach capacity where I can focus on my next 3 steps: 1. Buy basic equipment (chain saw, cutter, chipper) + rent forestry mulcher 2. Work 4 days and have 1 day estimates / admin 3. Buy the forestry mulcher (Kubota + loftness) Ive been so dependent on the Lord these past 2 weeks of business because he has really showed me his Glory and his greatness time after time and I needed to see him work in this in my weakness, and as always he shows up! Praise the Lord oh My Soul! How did quitting your job go over when you jumped full time? And how was the change?

March 29th - Apr 28th Leads - 36 (cost per lead : $21.48) Quotes Sent - 21 Jobs Won - 10 Revenue - $22,350 5 Star Google Reviews - 3 and waiting on the others (I need to do better following up on this) Proof Posts - put them in my ads, but haven't posted them to social media yet. Been too busy working: quoting, selling, operating lol. Bout to get Mrs Reaper to handle my social media 😉 I was gone for 10 days in April 9-19th to Europe to take my daughter on a senior trip, so I'm sure it could've been higher. Wins and work for this week: This afternoon l sold and scheduled 2 more jobs ($5200) for May calendar. Yay! Work scheduled for this busy weekend: Tomorrow: 1/2 acre mulch ($2200) Thurs: 1/4 acre mulch ($1500) Fri: 3/4 acre light mulch ($1800) Sat: 1/2 acre mulch ($2000) (7500 total for the weekend) Y'all don't sleep on the small jobs! Everybody wants a big fish, but these little guys pay the bills and get you high profit margins per acre while you're waiting on the big pig. These 4 jobs this week will average out to $4200 per acre. That's closer to full clearing money than mulching. I'm not posting this to brag. I'm posting this to encourage my risk takers to cowboy up and act. I'm loving it and glad I finally just sacked-up and did it. Here's my jobber snapshot so you know I'm not faking it.

@Austin Gray Realistically? I wanna hit 35k for my 2nd month. I got some guys underbidding me on some 5+ acre jobs, but i don't care. I'm busy with more profit on smaller jobs until bigger ones bite.
My 1st 3 full weeks of business running Facebook ads
I'm writing to you guys about this win, because I think some of you need to hear it. You need to hear that this business is real and you can do it if you follow the plan that @Austin Gray laid out so perfectly for us. Follow it and do exactly what he says. You just need to act. Cowboy up, and start buckin. Disclaimer: I have a full-time management job in aviation, so any of this new business idea stuff has to be weekends and afternoons. So keep that in mind while you read this. 5 weeks ago, I had nothing but a plan. No machine, no mulcher, no money. Nothing. I knew i had a small bonus from work coming, so I'd use that as ad money and operating capital. But I started with nothing. But I knew I could do this. I came across OwnrOps on YouTube and started soaking everything up. And I mean I watched it all. Luckily I didn't join any fb groups first, because I probably wouldn't have taken the leap. Most of that crowd is made up of losers and dream busters anyway. I watched all of Austin's starter info and got more excited and pumped the deeper I dove. I finally messaged Austin and asked him if he thought running ads without a machine and booking jobs was a good idea to test my market and my resolve. Well... the first 3 days of running ads, I booked 3 jobs from 4 leads. I was HOOKED. It was thrilling. Here I am... no machine and I'm scheduling jobs. Crazy, right!?! 😆 I needed to see if I could prove my business case to myself, and if it was worth me going and buying a machine. I thought, well... if I can book 3 jobs in 3 days from 4 leads, I'm good to go! So I did. I got financed (easier than financing a 30k car, which was scary) and bought a machine that costs more than my first house. Nuts, right?! It was going great for the first 5 days, then boom! I got stalled by fb- I started running ads 5 weeks ago, but Facebook shut me down for 2 weeks due to card verification problems. So truly my ads have only been spending for 3 solid weeks. Since they started spending, almost everyday I've been quoting jobs after my 9-5. Sometimes 3 and 4 in an afternoon.

@David Whitcraft Video ads only. I've never done a still ad. I asked a friend to borrow some footage until I had my own, then quickly reshot it with my equipment. My secret sauce is using the simple format that Austin laid out in all the material. Stick to it and don't deviate

@Matt McGowan the first thing I did, was build a website with squarespace. It's not great, just ok. But it's there. I drove the ads to a Facebook form. If they filled it out, I got all the info via text using Napier. I use jobber for all of my business side paperwork. Their AI stuff can help with that, or draft one up using chat gpt. @Austin Gray is developing an AI tool that may be useful for that. We'll see tomorrow morning on the live stream. Maybe log in and ask him that question.
AI
Wondering how to use AI in your land clearing business? here’s what @Jacob Neffendorf and I have been working on behind the scenes... This Friday morning we’re doing a live session to show you ClearPath – the first AI advisor built specifically for land‑clearing and mulching owners. Between the two of us, we’ve: - Built 7 figure businesses in this niche - Worked directly with 400+ land‑clearing / mulching companies - Had 15,000+ calls/training videos, quotes, and conversations in this niche - Run millions in ad spend and built the systems to scale operators throughout the U.S. ClearPath is trained on that data plus the exact systems we use every day. You’ll be able to sit down, type in your question, and get an answer that actually makes sense for our world. Examples: - “How should I price my jobs?” - “What should I text a homeowner who ghosted me after a site visit?” - “I’m booked out 5 weeks
 should I raise prices or add another crew?” - “My phone slowed down this week. What’s the fastest way to fill the pipeline again?” What’s happening on Friday's Livestream Date: Friday, April 24Time: 7:00 a.m. Mountain / 8:00 a.m. Central Where: https://youtube.com/@theownerop On the live, we’ll: - Show you how the AI tool actually works - Ask ClearPath AI real questions from you so it can answer in real time - Open up 100 Founding Seats for the first guys who want in (with a Fast Action Bonus) If you’ve ever wished you could text someone who’s seen hundreds of land‑clearing businesses and just ask “what should I do here?”
 that’s what this is If you want the live link and first shot at a Founding 100 seat... post "AI" in the comments below Talk soon, Austin OWNR OPS P.S. Jacob from Rise (the guy running all the land‑clearing ads you see) and I trained this AI together so you get both sides: operations + marketing in one brain.

@Jeff Shelton it's super exciting, huh?! I still can't believe I own a machine and I'm actually doing this successfully. I'm literally living this dream. @Austin Gray is a blessing to hard- working American men, that are risk takers and mulch makers.
