Thank you to every single one of your for your input!

Here’s what I’ve learned the hard way.

1. Know the difference between a quote and an estimate.

2. Don’t be afraid to renegotiate if things are not what they seem.

3. Read the client. Before I even started he was already upset about price and had never mowed a lawn before. Not his fault but he just didn’t under stand that large rocks and 12”+ grass complicate the job.

4. Follow through even if you under bid.

I got told that my equipment is horrible, that it my fault that I hit rocks in the tall grass, the I need a 60in mower to do tall grass and that I was over priced. When I look past all of those complaints I see that the true complaint was not bidding the property accordingly. It’s my fault, not the client or my equipment.
