Think Ill get that book looks interesting to read.

Heres a must read:

Pricing For the green industry 2nd edition by Frank H. Ross
Available only from our friends at the PLANET network
they also have a ton of green industry books and certification programs.
This book wont tell you to charge X for service.
This book teaches you to look at your business as a whole and how to figure out direct and overhead costs and teaches you the formulas for adding a profit.

My review of this book doesn't give the justice it deserves - thats why im a landscaper ;}
Read it - study it, and learn

Forum member JohnB suggested these books

Some other books are "Magic of Thinking Big", "Power Publicity" (great info on promoting yourself) and "The Secret"

[Johnb]

Magic of Thinking Big
Manage better, earn more money,
learn how to get the most out of your business
Believe you can succeed and you will

Power Publicity
Use the media to get free publicity for your business,
press release and *interviews. *I have never paid for any advertising other than business cards in over 20 years.
I still turn down more lawns than I take on.

I download audiobooks from ArrowAudioBooks.com
put them on mp3 orCD

This is my favorite book ever; "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. *New way of thinking for some. Its a very interesting book.

Oh, and I can't leave out this book;

"Think And Grow Rich" By Napoleon Hill

Great book also but I recomend getting the audio version its 11 cds.
