Location Eastern Massachusetts. It's all good. Location Fitchburg, MA. Kumi LawnSite Member. Location Mobile,Alabama. Location zone 7 CA. It might be the worst part for you but it is THE most important part.. Location here. Waking up in the morning, be better if it was a night job. Gatewayuser LawnSite Bronze Member. Location Ohio. What sucks is putting a lot of money into a landscape job including payroll, supplies and equipment and then have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to be payed but its worth it in the end.
Location northeast. I chose "It's all good" out of the list. Customers don't bother me. If someone seems like a potential pain in the butt when I am giving them a quote, I'll just jack up the prices, so they likely won't hire me lets just call it the "Pain in the azz fee".
But if they do hire me, dealing with them is worth the extra money going into my pocket. And Older folks can either be really good people, or miserable pains. I can deal with the pains.
If they want to fire me, fine. I only buy things when I know I can afford it, want a low overhead, so whenever I get something new, I get all excited to use it for probably a month after I buy it.
Sometimes I get a little irritated when I have to buy an expensive new part for repair, but I just get it done to get it out of the way, then I kind of look at it as "Good, this part will last me a while, now it will be a long time before I have to worry about this part is ready to break".
Hiring people, even though for the most part I work alone, whenever I need an extra helper it is a buddy of mine, but when the time comes when I need to hire someone, I am a patient man with training and such. But if right of the bat they are lazy and just show up for the sake of showing up, I'd try to make things unpleasant for them so they would quit.
But really, the only thing I really don't care for is doing paperwork, taxes, and such. I want to be working outside! I can't wait for when the day comes when I can afford to hire a secretary. Oh, and one other thing gets me really PO'ed. Doing fall cleanups in the wind!! Man, does that frustrate me! It really does waste a lot of your time.
When you have a backpack on and you're blowing a pile of leaves and all of the sudden the leaves blow in your face, I pretty much feel like hurting someone or something, but there there is nothing to hurt, so that makes me even angrier.
You should see me when it happens, you'd laugh. But still, everything is good. Right now, I love what I do. Location Plainview NY. Location Bensalem, PA. When it rains day after day after day, it also sucks but it keeps the grass green and growing. I don't have a problem fixing equipment or doing maintnence on it! Call me crazy, but I kinda like the degree days Drinking tons of water helps a lot. Especially the hot days that have a nice thunderstorm at the end of the day to cool you off Windy T-storms can bring some good cleanups afterwards also.
Rain does put me off, but most of my clients understand if I am late to cut. Yeah, like mentioned before, cleanups in the wind sucks. Something you can do nothing about gets me PO'ed. Guess there's nothing we can do about that neither, unless if we become in charge of an oil company. I guess I am a "glass half full" kinda guy. You must log in or register to reply here.
