Do I start with yard signs/door hangers? Or do I go FB Ads? Or both? What's your take?

@Scott Helms @Josh Rivers we rented t770 bobcat with a virnig forestry head, cost was $450 machine, $625 forestry head both per 8 hr of machine run time. We didn't know the machine rental price was based on 8 hrs wasn't told to us, found out it was in the rental agreement that we didn't read.... our bad. Was shredded the pressure release hose for the hydraulics and that also resulted in breaking the casting for the quick connect for that hose, along with a headlight, That was $830 repair. now being that this was for my dad we may have got alittle carried away with what we were trying to mulch. We found the limit to the machine. Result was it took us 11 operating hrs to complete. 4 hours over time charge on that machine which was an extra $470. 1254- machine 830- repair 470- overtime on rental 2554- total with tax Now based on our hourly cost and expenses we calculated when we get up and running (this job was a test) We were charging 2500 per average 1 acre running 8hrs, with making payment on a new machine, we did not base this off rental. So we've talked with more people on this matter and found that we charged wrong for using rental. What's your take? I would like more feed back on anything you feel were missing?

@Josh Rivers foresure got faster as we went, but tried to mulch to large of dead fall and to many stumps, this was a mostly oak forest.
START HERE: Stay Booked Out For Weeks With Profitable Jobs
Welcome to OWNR OPS 🤝 If you own a land clearing or forestry business and you want to stay booked out weeks in advance with profitable jobs using simple systems, not shiny objects, you’re in the right place. This group and trainings are built around my simple operating system - Revamp your pricing so you generate profit on every job - Make the phone ring consistently with a simple 3‑Step Lead Engine - Track a simple weekly scorecard so you know if you’re winning or losing and exactly what to fix next I use this same playbook in my own $1.4M land clearing / forestry business and it’s what guys like Colby used to go from roughly $400k to $850k while staying 4–8 weeks booked out. Step 1 – Introduce yourself (do this now) Comment below with: - Your name - Where you’re based - What kind of work you do now (land clearing, forestry, fire mitigation, etc.) - How many weeks you’re currently booked out - Use the photo template I posted Step 2 – Unlock the Free Kickstarter Training Go to the Classroom tab and follow the steps to unlock the “Free Kickstarter Training" Video series module In it, you’ll learn how you can copy the simple operating system behind my 7 figure business: - Revamp your pricing so every crew‑day makes profit - Build a 3‑Step Lead Engine (how to make the phone ring) - Use a weekly scorecard to see if you’re winning or losing and what to fix next week Watch these lessons this week so the livestreams & posts inside here actually click. Step 3 – Book Your OPS Onboarding Call If you want my eyes on your numbers and a clear plan to stay booked out weeks in advance with profitable jobs, book an OPS Onboarding call here: 👉 [Book Onboarding Call] On that call we’ll: - Look at your current revenue, backlog, and weeks booked out - Find the biggest bottleneck in your business - See if you’re a fit for OPS Training, my weekly training program for land clearing and forestry owners

-Hi my name is Mike Friesen -Brook Park, Minnesota -My Brother-in-law and I are selling brush, land, forestry mulching services -revenue tbd -we want to be at 1mil in revenue -whats stopping us?, Getting going on ads and getting leads, also we want to get some leads generated so we can go purchase our equipment. once we are up and running we want to transition one of us at a time from our full time jobs we currently have.
Process wins!
Just wanted to share what following the process looks like! If people in here are on the fence about making this their full time job, I made the jump in early March to go full time into this. We had our first baby in October and my wife was very skeptical/nervous, dare I say excited, about the whole idea of me quitting. I have been bouncing between jobs about every 8-10 months, and this last job was 90k salary with killer benefits, but I was battling depression, low energy, and just wasn’t myself. I sat down with my wife, showed her my plan, and I went all in. In Austin’s starter scorecard I had a goal of my first 3 months going 10, 20, 30k in revenue. Currently, around 3 weeks into April I will hit 60k in revenue, which is 6 weeks ahead of my plan. Long story short, it works. I look in this group every day for motivation and I see some great people doing amazing things. Asking questions. Taking feedback. Moving forward. Generating results. @Austin Gray ’s community here is fantastic, and I can’t help but feel thankful and alive this Easter weekend! I feel that we are all hard nosed, hard working individuals, and I pray that we all find peace, success and something to pour our work ethic into! Big things coming in 2026 for this group!
