Green Way Lawn Care Service

Provide quality lawn care for people who don’t own the proper equipment or don’t have the time or the ability to care for their own lawns.

3. Goal and Objective
Earn money
Have fun

4. Today’s Situation Too many lawns for me to mow by myself
I want to continue the business

5. How Did We Get Here? Last year’s customers asked for the service again
Neighbors of last year’s customers have asked about the service
I already own two mowers and other equipment that I used last year

6. Option #1 I can mow all the lawns myself Advantages Disadvantages
I would get all the profits
Disadvantages
I would risk injury, overextending myself
I might not do a good job, and customer satisfaction could suffer
I would have little free time
I would have to keep up with all billing and collection

7. Option #2 I can ask Marcus and Julia to join the business Advantages
Together we can complete jobs faster
We would share the profits and work.
Disadvantages
Are there enough lawns to mow?
Who would keep accurate customer records?

8. Option #3 I do not mow lawns this year Advantages Disadvantages
I would have lots of free time
Disadvantages
I would have little spending money
I would need to find a summer job that might not pay as much
I would not be using the equipment I own

9. Recommendation Recommend I ask Marcus and Julia to join the business
We could work together to earn money and satisfy customers
Marcus and Julia, will you join the business?
