• $100 use: Buy heavy-duty rakes, yard bags, and gloves.

• Path to $1k/week: Charge $100 per yard. Just 10 houses a week and you’re at $1,000.

(As usual each business will have it’s own setbacks, and it’s all about the execution and consistency rather than just having the idea)

It’s a great day to be great!

Love, Mike 👋
