Do you want to start your own business, but aren’t sure how to do it right? Getting a mentor to guide you can be a huge help. Nic Reed’s mentor Mike Andes is teaching him how to start a lawn care business, and he’s sharing his lawn care business tips with us in this video.

Nic made a smart pick choosing Mike as his mentor. Mike paid his way through college mowing lawns, then used that experience to start a landscaping business after he earned his MBA. Today, he helps other business owners succeed through his work as a consultant and his podcast, Business Bootcamp.

A lawn care business is a great choice for a first-time entrepreneur because you don’t need a ton of money or experience to get started. A lawn care business start up has a high revenue potential, too.

Nic’s goal is to reach $160K in revenue in his first year. In this interview, we’ll learn how he plans to market his new lawn mowing business and build his client list to hit that benchmark.

There are a lot of steps to opening any successful business. We’ll walk through them with Mike and Nic and find out which step they’re on. Part of starting a lawn care business is getting the right equipment to do the job. In this video, we’ll find out which tools Mike recommends and how to source them to get both quality and a fair price.
