Most land‑clearing guys think they’re making money. Sit them down and add up: - Operator labor - Fuel - Teeth & repairs - Insurance, ads, yard, notes, admin, your own salary …and you realize they’ve been donating days to the universe. Let’s fix that. Texas Skid Crew – Reality Check For our new Texas skid‑mulcher crew, one full day really costs: - Operator + burden: ~$423/day - Fuel: ~$280/day - Major wear & repairs: ~$75/day - Teeth: ~$90/day - Overhead share: ~$1,331/day True cost ≈ $2,200/day If you’re charging $2,000/day and calling that a “good day,” you’re lying to yourself. The Simple Rule (Texas Skid Crew) We’re locking the Texas skid crew at: $3,000/day Baseline production: 1 acre/day in medium brush, flat ground, normal access From there, estimating is just: 1. How many acres are we really treating? 2. Brush density? Light ≈ 1.5 ac/day Medium ≈ 1.0 ac/day Heavy ≈ 0.5 ac/day 3. Terrain / access? Easy → acres/day × 1.1 Normal → × 1.0 Rough/Pain → × 0.7 Then: Crew‑Days = Acres ÷ Acres/Day (round up)Price = Crew‑Days × $3,000 Examples: - 4 acres, medium, normal → 1 ac/day → 4 days → 4 × 3k = $12,000 - 6 acres, light, easy → ~1.65 ac/day → ~3.7 → 4 days → $12,000 - 3 acres, heavy, rough → 0.35 ac/day → ~8.6 → 9 days → $27,000 (or you phase it) What To Do With This - Admit your real cost/day. If you don’t know it, you’re guessing. - Pick a real day rate (not charity). I’m using $3k/day on the Texas skid crew as an entry number. It will go up as demand climbs. - Estimate in days, not vibes. Acres → density → access → days → days × day rate. Full stop. - Track est vs actual. Every time you miss, log it. Tighten the multipliers. Your pricing will get sharper every month if you’re honest. Free Tool I dropped a simple Job Cost & Crew‑Day Estimator in the Classroom Replays: OPS REPLAYS → Week 6 – Job Costing & Profit Make a copy, plug your own numbers in (labor, fuel, overhead), and stop pretending “$7,500 feels right” is a real system.

Welcome to OWNR OPS 🤝 The mission here is simple: Help blue‑collar owner‑operators build 7‑figure businesses with real systems. Not more random tips. Not more motivational quotes. We've built a real operating system that turns Operators into OWNRS — and we're sharing it inside the Classroom Section to help you grow your own business 🤝 I'm going to outline your next steps so you can get the most out of this group based on where you're at right now. 1. What stage of business are you right now? Inside OWNR OPS we split people into three stages: - Starter – guys starting out doing $0–$20k/month - Operator – Doing roughly $20k–$80k/month - OWNR – $80k–$100k+/month with systems This group is built to move people up that ladder. 2. There are two paths inside this group If you’re a Starter (0–$20k/month): Your job is to use the Free Classroom Trainings to build a solid base. Go to the Classroom and complete OPS Kickstarter. This will help you: ✅ Dial in your pricing ✅ Set up your basic lead gen system ✅ Start closing jobs ✅ Build your basic weekly rhythm Use the tools and trainings in here to get yourself into that $20k–$40k/month Operator band. Once you’re there, we can talk about Accelerator. If you’re an Operator ($20k–$80k/month): This is who OPS Accelerator is built for. Go to the OPS Accelerator – Info lesson in the Classroom. I’ll walk you through the 16‑week implementation plan to install the OWNR Operating System in your business. If it sounds like what you need, fill out the application linked under that lesson or click here ➡️ https://start.ownrops.com OPS Accelerator is a paid, high‑touch program for Operators who are serious about moving toward 7 Figures Annually (or $80k–$100k+ months during busy season) with real systems and support. What to do right now: - Pick your stage (honestly) in the poll below: Starter, Operator, or OWNR - Follow the path above. - Use the free trainings, tools, and community. - When you’re ready for help building the full OWNR system, apply for OPS Accelerator
