Key Takeaways

Consider attending industry trade shows like the National Farm Machinery Show to network, learn about new equipment, and gain insights into broader industry trends, even if they aren't directly lawn care focused.

If starting a new business or expanding into a new area, actively advertise and get your business name out in community groups to attract new clients.

✦

Diversify your service offerings to prepare for potential seasonal slowdowns or limitations in growing your primary business, such as adding brush hogging or driveway repair.

✦

Investigate new equipment like compact tractors that could improve efficiency or expand capabilities for specific services, but take your time to research and decide without rush.

✦

Understand the importance of professional online presence; a well-designed website can attract quality leads and help your business stand out from competitors.
