What have you learned from running your own business?
Getting a business up and running takes a lot of hard work and dedication
Challenges
challenge was finding business so late in the season. Most people had already arranged lawn
Can you share 2 or 3 experiences you have gained as an entrepreneur?
Basic bookkeeping/journalling was a new skill I learned. We also discovered that we needed to change with the market and expand our services. In order to find enough jobs, we also weeding services, running errands/doing local deliveries, and took on handyman/maintenance ended up offering jobs (ie. wallpaper removal, vehicle cleaning, pool vacuuming).
What was the best part of being your own boss?
We can't work in a job yet, so it was a way to earn money, also we were able to schedule our jobs around our commitments with other things
Will you continue your business after the Summer?
Yes, i can move into raking leaves and possibly snow removal
