I’ve Been Quiet… Here’s Why
I’ve been a little quiet in here the past few months—but not inactive. Behind the scenes I’ve been: • Running my landscaping & construction companies • Building out a private money lending business • Working through real deals, real problems, real wins And honestly… that’s exactly what this group is supposed to be about. Not theory. Not motivation posts.👉 Real-world execution. So we’re getting back to that starting today. Over the next few weeks I’m going to start breaking down: • How I structure service businesses to actually make money • Real deal scenarios (what works / what doesn’t) • Simple ways to start with what you have right now But first—I want to hear from you: 👇 What are you currently working on or trying to figure out? Whether you’re: • Trying to start your first service business • Stuck getting consistent customers • Looking to grow past doing everything yourself Drop it below. I’ll start responding and building content around what you guys actually need.

Transitioning from residential to commercial
The residential market is starting to wear on me. The cost per customer is high and inevitably they want the world but don’t like the price tag. This leads to either negotiation of price and the only way I negotiate price is to drop services not quality. I’d like to actively pursue repeatable commercial work but I’m sure there are trade offs. I’ve retired once already and am not trying to set the world on fire with growth, I’d like to stay relatively small and agile, limiting the number of direct hires and bring on subs as necessary. What routes or methods have you found to make the transition doable?

I gotta say final grade is pretty big when it comes to paving and 1 of the paving subcontractors I use more frequently doesn’t do final grading typically just for the simple fact they don’t want to deal with it.

Me personally I’d prefer commercial over residential any day becuase like you said they want the best for nothing and that’s just not how you grow a business. In the other hand residentials are nice to have because it keeps guys paid until those bigger checks roll in which is really the only reason we deal with them. I’ve also worked for homeowners and commercial clients that I hope never call me again do to the issue I mentioned above though. trying to add certain items and expecting not to be charged for it or trying to get a discount after the job is done and the contract was signed on the agreed upon price
Who are we?
I want to start this thread by saying thank you to each and everyone of you for joining this group and its early stages and uneven greater. Thank you to everyone that’s taking time to contribute to the discussions and help create the little momentum with built. I have two things I wanna go over with you guys. 1. Is an extension of my appreciation above and has to do with the photo attached. We’re just a little over a weekend to the inception of this group and the first day that we were ranked as a community. We started around 17,500 and as you can see, we’ve already moved into the top 13,000. Small goal for us is to crack the top 10,000 by the end of the month. Keep coming back, keep showing up for others. They aren’t just posting for my feedback. People are commenting because they respect what this group can be 2. I came across another community with the exact same name as the one I chose. It looks like they started their community before me so I’m going to do the right thing and pivot to another name. Leave a comment with what you think our new name should be! Let’s all have a huge week! Good luck out there!
