I would love to hear your stories or advice on growing your business. I am a sole prop. I have a friend that helps me out with groundwork when needed, so I am like a 1.5 man show right now. I own my equip. ( I do have a truck note) I have a 6" chipper, saws, rigging gear, a grinder etc. I can do jobs soup to nuts. I carry insurance and I am part time (2-3 days a week) I am booked a few weeks in advance all the time (keep in mind 2 days a week only) I have enough marketing to keep me busy the way I am.
I am frustrated with having to turn down the larger jobs requiring more equip.
I am really interested in how any of you went from my situation to a full time operation with 2 other employees or so. What did you do for equip? How did you finance the growth? Etc. I am a new home owner, married two years now and have a full-time job that is so-so. The tree work has been a nice supplement to our income. The bennys are through my wife's job. Ok enough about me, what are your stories?
