I've been crazy busy.
My lawn care business took off pretty well. I'm getting my papers in order to open a legitimate lawn care business next year. I still have 2 part time jobs in addition to doing yard cleanups. We're also more than halfway through the semester.
I should probably post to this blog more.
In other news: I downloaded and installed microsoft's bootleg quickbooks (accounting express 2007 or something), because using a spreadsheet to handle business transactions is a drag. It looks and functions amazingly like quickbooks. I can now make really professional looking invoices. Even though I prefer to collect cash or check as soon as I finish the work.
On site collection doesn't work for out of town landlords. And I just landed a job for an out of town landlord. She owns a real estate company and has some rentals here. I think this will lead to more work down the road.
So far I've been doing all the work by myself. On one job my wife came and helped me out. But I got a big cleanup for Saturday and I got a helper lined up. The next step would be to get somebody else to do all the work and I just do sales and supervision, but that doesn't seem likely.
Dang. This post was kind of scattered. Oh well.
