My wife is most likely quitting her job tomorrow. Corporate gig. Is a two weeks notice the right thing to do? She would prefer to just walk.

We did it. Our first $10K week. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! Finished at exactly $10,100 from 16 jobs. The crazy part? I didn’t even do jobs on Tuesday when the machine was down. The sales and networking that I did all winter is really starting to pay off. Let’s keep going 📈

Got a call today from a guy who’s been grinding stumps longer than I’ve been alive. He owns one of the bigger stump grinding companies in Utah. We’ve chatted a few times before, but this time he wanted to sell me his business. Quick rundown: •He’s been grinding since the

I can’t escape stumps. At a resort for my wife’s bday and they have 20-30 huge stumps on the property. Terrible looking on an otherwise well groomed property. Went to the office, tracked down their grounds guy. Told me that the tree company just charged way too much for stump

BIG NEWS! I’m still out here grinding stumps. I will always be proud to be “The Stump Guy.” But I’m also the co-owner of something new: Amelia’s Swedish Candy. The first ever Swedish Candy Truck. 1/5

June revenue: $24,380. Total costs: Around $7,200 Net profit = $17,180 Overall a great month. Not the busiest I’ve been but it felt smooth and in control for the first time ever. Mostly working 8-10 hour days in the field and no weekend work. Gotta keep pushing.

Job I just quoted: Customer: The bid to beat is $500 Me: You’ll want to take that then, it wouldn’t be worth it for me. Customer: Well what would you bid? (Very clear that he didn’t have another bid.) Me: $1,000. Customer: Can you do $800? .. Why do people lie like this?
