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.

Where is everybody ordering replacement carbide teeth? I know it depends on the head, but do you guys buy from the manufacturer or do you buy aftermarket?

I’ve been refining an idea and realized it might be more than just an estimator. A simple, easy-to-use online estimator on my website—enter acreage and location, then tap through visual options (current property status, project size, terrain, desired finish) to match their land and get a quick price range, with the option to request a free in-person quote (maybe more options?). What I’m thinking about building is something that: • Gives a fast ballpark without a traditional form • Uses visual selections instead of long inputs • Keeps it low friction (no name required) • Captures location (town or address) But on the backend, it gives me data on: • Where demand is coming from • What type of jobs people are looking for • Which areas are “hot” vs “cold” So even if someone doesn’t request a quote, I still walk away with useful info to guide ads and targeting. I want more data… Basically turning an estimator into a lead intelligence tool. Curious if anyone else has tried something like this, or sees any blind spots I’m missing.

What app are you guys using on a daily basis? One in particular I’m looking for is how to check property lines while mulching?

The hardest part of building a real business is not what you say “yes” to. It’s what you have to say “no” to. If you’re like me, “shiny objects” are real. New machines. New ideas. New services. New side business. The toughest part? You could probably do most of it pretty well. But that’s what makes it dangerous. Discipline for guys like us isn't about “waking up early” or “working hard” — that's in our DNA Discipline is this: Being able to look at all the fun, new ideas and say, “No. I’m going to fix the one hard problem in my business first.” In your business, the thing you NEED to do almost always feels harder than the thing you WANT to do. Why? Because you don’t know how to do it yet. Or maybe you kind of know what to do… but you know it will take longer than you want. So instead of addressing the "hard thing" head on, most operators: Buy a new machine or attachment Research "better" machine upgrades or HP options Start a new service (like excavation) Switch to a new service area Tinker with new software to “optimize” the backend But the truth is, we just need to be honest and ask: 1. What is actually holding my business back right now? 2. Am I spending my time fixing THAT thing? If cash is your bottleneck, you fix your prices until you make real profit If leads are your bottleneck, you learn how to market better until more leads come in If closing is your bottleneck, you call/text leads faster until you start winning more jobs Not “another project.” Not “build a house on the side.” Not “add a second business.” Not “research the latest high-flow technology” The question is not, “What else could I do?” The better questions are: “What's the bottleneck in my business right now?” “What am I not doing because I don't know how?” Step 1: Tell the truth about the single most important problem in your business that is: - taking way too long to fix, or - you really don’t know how to fix Step 2: Bite down on that problem like a log in the grapple and don’t let go until it’s in the pile.
