I am rewriting this because yesterdays when I wrote it I lost the scope of what I wanted to do. That was to show some of the newer people that something other than writing a book or having an online business can also have fastlane potential
My Company is a standard landscaping company, cut grass trim bushes that kind of thing. Where this sets me apart is that most landscapers are booked months in advance and you cant get anyone in right at this moment if you need it. This allows me to set up a pricing system pretty much like FedEx and UPS has where I offer Overnight, next day or standard landscaping.
I started my business about 2 weeks ago working part time while being a miner full time. My clients are mostly upper middle class that work all day and want to entertain on the weekends but come Friday they realize that they have this beautiful Mc Mansion but the lawn looks horrible and the hedges are over grown. So they call me and before Saturday nights dinner party there property looks amazing.
Now the $1000 in profit was made Saturday 6/4/17 I had a customer that called me up at 5pm on Friday wanting to know if I could get his yard ready by Saturday afternoon because his daughters wedding was that day. I went and looked at his property and it was about a 5 hour job. I left his property pulled into the Mc Donalds parking lot made up a bid for about $700 in about 10 min emailed it. By 530pm the customer called me back and asked what it would take to get it done that night I told him $1500. he said done and by 730pm me and my crew were starting work. the original bid had about 350 profit built into it with the customer wanting it done NOW and willing to pay for it put me over $1100 for 5 hours of work
I home this is a little better and less confusing, and while I haven't been doing this for long I would like to help others in any way I can
