Troy here is a possible marketing direction.

Troy,

As I did a little research, I thought of you on this.

Have you ever heard of Greg Wittstock

Check out his site here (http://www.aquascapedesigns.com/about/pondguy.php).

He founded Aquascape Designs. He is totally a self promoter. As you can see in his book http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00069UEJ2.01-AN2GJJAXKHGZY._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

And a video of him here (mms://cfo-pro.com/cfo-pro/gregwittstock.wmv). http://www.cfo-pro.com/images/incpondguy.jpg

What if you positioned yourself and your company as your local lawn guy or something? You already use your name as your company name, what about promoting your likeness more to set yourself apart?

Yup, heard a lot about him. They actually just built a huge indoor place recently.

You know, I think it would work for you too. The more you built up the brand now, the easier it would be in the future for you to sell the concept to others that might want to buy into your company.
