Will be working in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne

Cheers

Welcome to the madness mate :welcome.

Use the search section to go through the old threads and fire away with anything thats not there.

Has Dean updated the prices in that manual yet? Dean (head Honcho) are you to blame for all the underpriced stuff thats going on at present :whipit .

Good on ya Tom

You are in the right direction, any blockers read through & post in the forum or keep in touch with Dean.

Now is also a good time to get into garden cleanups & mulching.

It will help towards new customers for spring & summer mowing.

:newbie Well here goes i guess i should jump straight in, been at this for about 5 months now at Woolgoolga NSW finding it a bit tuff to get started got about 18 regular customers at the moment,
but otherwise am really enjoying it,
Tried the local paper for a month waste of time not 1 call,
sent my second lot of flyers out last week only received 1 call so far,
Dropped of business cards to local shops, been to seen all real estate agents,
Just finding it a bit hard to get my name out there i guess all i can do is keep trying and learning off this forum.
The gear i use,
Toro G3 zero turn mower,
Proscape mower ( no problems yet but blocks up to easy in wet grass )
Echo blower, Wipper snipper, Polesaw.

Cheers Phil

Tom,

Welcome to our splendid stress free outdoors lifestyle,

I set up last year during winter and fined tuned it all for the coming spring launch.
I love my carreer change and free gym membership that came with it.
All the best in attracting all those Mitcham/Ringwood/Donvale/Doncaster and surrounding clients.
Ask the questions, I did and I asked some real dumb ones tooo. But it helped me to make appropiate personal decisions moving forward.
