About this course

Most lawn care startups die not from a lack of customers but from underpricing and windshield time that eats every billable hour. This course teaches the operating math behind a healthy crew, the contract structures that smooth seasonal revenue, and the upsell ladder that turns a $45 mow into a $3,000 annual account. Every module ends with numbers you can plug into your own market.
