Question Q.10 How have competitors effected you?

Here is the 10th question of the lawn care business documentary I want to put together. Consider making a video of yourself answering them so I can include your viewpoint in my documentary.

In a hundred years, we will all be dust. All the grass that was mowed will not remember who mowed it. But hopefully your story will live on with this documentary! So please answer the questions and take part in the documentary.

10. How have competitors effected you? Did they play any dirty tricks on you and how did you overcome it?

Question #9 - Question #11

Lawn care business tips
I have never cared what my competitors are doing. I offer my services to people and they either take it or they don't. I know what I can do work for and that is the only thing I worry about.

I haven't had a trick played on me...yet. Mostly my competitors are friendly. There are some douche bags at the green depot but most are quite friendly. Even had a guy come help me shovel out my truck box the other day as he saw I broke my rake & broom.
