Its wonderful to see that its not just the Lawn Maintenance business that is cut throat.


BEAT ANY PRICE and YOU WILL BEAT YOURSELF OUT OF BUSINESS!!!!!!!

Your prices need to be your prices, that you must make to cover your overhead, insurance, vehicle, pay yourself, and for the company to still make a profit!!!!!!! Too many people stop after they get paid, they forget that the company needs to profit too!!!!
Dont let someone else determine your prices. I am sick and tired of people being cut-throat and bringing all these industry standards down too.


p.s. thanks for letting me "semi-vent".

Gabriel I hope you take that in a positive way. It is something to think about. We'd hate to see you go out of business because of that.
