Okay, so today I'm going to be talking about Robert's landscaping and remodeling,
- 00:04 - 00:08
which is my business that I plan to open.
- 00:09 - 00:13
So first off, let's talk about the market. The market for landscaping is like
- 00:14 - 00:16
landscaping. There's gardening.
- 00:17 - 00:18
Uh, thanks. Odd mowing,
- 00:19 - 00:22
um, and stuff like that. And I plan to have
- 00:22 - 00:28
all of that in my company because it gives more of an opportunity
- 00:28 - 00:32
for people to see that I can do more than just one thing.
- 00:32 - 00:33
So
- 00:33 - 00:34
I would like to
- 00:34 - 00:38
incorporate all of them into my business.
- 00:39 - 00:43
Um, next is the competitive edge is
- 00:44 - 00:45
I have to that
- 00:46 - 00:48
I would like to do. And that's
- 00:49 - 00:53
Like I like to work longer hours from, like, 6-5,,
- 00:54 - 00:58
and it so I can get more hours throughout the day so I
- 00:58 - 01:01
can get the job done as fast and as good as I can.
- 01:01 - 01:05
Um, I would like to work to customers approval,
- 01:06 - 01:07
which means
- 01:07 - 01:08
I would like to
- 01:09 - 01:13
work, and I am going to ask them questions like, how does this look?
- 01:13 - 01:19
Or how would you like this? So therefore they are involved with what I'm doing,
- 01:20 - 01:24
and it helps me, you know, that when I'm done with the job, they will like it too.
- 01:25 - 01:28
They will like it at the end of the project.
- 01:29 - 01:35
So from a market size, a normal market size for landscaping is about 90% of
- 01:36 - 01:37
uh huh,
- 01:37 - 01:41
The stuff that they do and I want to have about 75% because
- 01:41 - 01:46
I would like to stay at a small but not very small company
- 01:46 - 01:54
Which will help me out in the long run. Um, I would like to have 75% because it gives me
- 01:54 - 02:00
opportunities to do different jobs throughout the time I'm working. Landscaping.
- 02:00 - 02:04
Um, so for my customers,
- 02:04 - 02:09
I want to have a small business I want to have in neighborhoods, peoples and elders.
- 02:09 - 02:12
And I want small businesses because I'm gonna be a small business.
- 02:12 - 02:14
So I would like to help small businesses,
- 02:15 - 02:22
um, in the future with open. If they're just now opening things or if they are
- 02:22 - 02:23
just now
- 02:24 - 02:28
or if they're trying to get ready for a big event and they need something done,
- 02:28 - 02:29
I can do it.
- 02:29 - 02:31
And small businesses
- 02:32 - 02:38
tend to not have very high value of money, so I like to do cheaper things.
- 02:38 - 02:42
But as well as I do it to their approval.
- 02:42 - 02:44
Um, I want neighborhoods because
- 02:45 - 02:47
people in neighborhoods, they have friends,
- 02:47 - 02:51
family people drive by in the neighborhoods, neighbors.
- 02:51 - 02:53
They all can see what I've worked on and what I've done
- 02:54 - 02:56
for the job. And
- 02:56 - 02:57
I can get,
- 02:57 - 02:59
uh, customers from them.
- 02:59 - 03:02
And it just helps me in the long run with neighborhoods,
- 03:02 - 03:05
because more people and more people will get to
- 03:05 - 03:07
see it as they move into the neighborhood.
- 03:07 - 03:09
They're driving to a friend's house or
- 03:10 - 03:12
they just they can just see that what I've done.
- 03:12 - 03:17
So for my growth, I would like to stay in the Butler County lines,
- 03:17 - 03:22
which is like El Dorado, Augusta, Wichita and over Towanda
- 03:22 - 03:26
because I would like to be able to travel a little bit.
- 03:26 - 03:30
But I don't want to be able to travel so far where I can't just run home,
- 03:30 - 03:32
grab a tool if I need it.
- 03:32 - 03:36
So I would just like to stay in that kind of area, so I have.
- 03:37 - 03:42
I can make sure I know I can get to the job. I know if I can forget something. I get it.
- 03:42 - 03:45
I know if I need something, I'm in the area. But I get my stuff from,
- 03:45 - 03:50
um and I don't want to be global because it's hard for
- 03:50 - 03:53
landscapers to do global things because they have to get their tools,
- 03:53 - 03:55
materials and all of this, too.
- 03:55 - 04:01
They come or to the other part of the country to do it, and it's just hard
- 04:01 - 04:02
and
- 04:02 - 04:05
it's hard to get all of that stuff over there.
- 04:05 - 04:07
And if I forget something,
- 04:08 - 04:10
therefore I would have to go buy it again
- 04:11 - 04:15
because I couldn't just run home and grab it, so I'd have to buy it again.
- 04:15 - 04:18
Even if it's I just bought it there, I'd have to buy it again.
- 04:18 - 04:21
So then I would have to and I would just be wasting a little bit of money.
- 04:22 - 04:23
So I would like to stay
- 04:24 - 04:26
with the not global company.
- 04:26 - 04:28
Um, I'm gonna be a small landscaping company,
- 04:28 - 04:31
but I don't want to be too small and I don't want to be too big,
- 04:31 - 04:32
so I'd like to stay somewhere in the middle.
- 04:33 - 04:33
Um,
- 04:34 - 04:36
I would like to be in the middle because I don't
- 04:36 - 04:38
want something that will take me a day to do,
- 04:38 - 04:40
and I don't want something that will take me two months to do, which
- 04:41 - 04:46
I will do both of those if I absolutely have to, or if I'm willing, if I have time,
- 04:46 - 04:47
I will do it
- 04:47 - 04:53
because it gives I have more money for this one, or it's just a little quick job.
- 04:53 - 04:55
I need real quick, so I will do them.
- 04:55 - 05:01
But I would like to stay with jobs that take a week to two weeks and not have to do
- 05:01 - 05:02
stuff that's
- 05:02 - 05:05
either really big or really small.
- 05:06 - 05:13
Um, so, for my advantage is, um, I like to work every weekday hours from 6-5,.
- 05:13 - 05:16
Like I said earlier, um,
- 05:16 - 05:20
which it just gives me more of a time to get more work done that day.
- 05:20 - 05:24
So I don't have to do as much the next day, or I can finish what I'm doing there,
- 05:24 - 05:26
and I move on to the next thing the next day.
- 05:26 - 05:27
Um,
- 05:27 - 05:31
I'd like to work customers approval, so that means
- 05:31 - 05:34
they'll always be involved. They always feel like they're involved.
- 05:34 - 05:37
They have a say in what I'm doing. They know how I'm doing it.
- 05:37 - 05:41
They understand that I have to do it. This way or I can't do it this way that they
- 05:42 - 05:43
that they've asked.
- 05:43 - 05:49
So I I like to talk to them so they know what's going on and how it's going to be.
- 05:50 - 05:53
Um, I use high end materials, which,
- 05:53 - 05:56
because I don't like to use materials from like WalMart
- 05:57 - 06:01
because you'll have to repay them or re buy them multiple times.
- 06:01 - 06:04
So therefore you have to.
- 06:04 - 06:06
You have to waste money on it.
- 06:06 - 06:11
So I'd like to use this Johnson gardening, and it's they make their own mulch,
- 06:11 - 06:12
and it's easier for them to.
- 06:12 - 06:14
You don't have to re buy it.
- 06:15 - 06:17
You just fluff it and it looks like it's brand new.
- 06:17 - 06:21
But you have to change it every three years, not every year or every season. It's
- 06:22 - 06:24
You have a long time to do it
- 06:25 - 06:27
or to just keep using the same mulch.
- 06:28 - 06:32
Um, it gives it give a three months
- 06:33 - 06:35
re fixed policy, which
- 06:36 - 06:38
so if something breaks on the project I've done or
- 06:38 - 06:41
so you need something a little changed or something that's like
- 06:42 - 06:44
point and you have kids or something and I become
- 06:44 - 06:46
fixed that real quick I will come and do it,
- 06:46 - 06:51
and I will have money paid off or I'll hunt them, pay off a little bit of the money,
- 06:52 - 06:58
Um, as of a reflux or re fixed policy, so they have to pay a little extra just for that.
- 06:58 - 07:03
But I would like to do that for them so they don't have to hire someone completely
- 07:03 - 07:07
new that makes them pay even more money when I could just come and fix it.
- 07:07 - 07:10
And they just have to pay a little more money and
- 07:10 - 07:12
the process of me actually doing it.
- 07:13 - 07:13
The project.
- 07:14 - 07:19
So, for a total revenue, this is all just a little estimation, because
- 07:20 - 07:26
it's not a set income or revenue that you have for every year,
- 07:26 - 07:29
because it just depends on how many jobs you have, how big the jobs are.
- 07:30 - 07:31
Um,
- 07:31 - 07:38
So for your one, it's approximately about $100,000, which once again it's not 100
- 07:39 - 07:46
right, because it's just an estimation. Um, Year two, you have a year around 2500,
- 07:47 - 07:48
And there are 3", roughly
- 07:49 - 07:50
325,000.
- 07:51 - 07:51
Yeah,
- 07:52 - 07:53
so
- 07:53 - 07:54
that gives you
- 07:55 - 07:58
or that will give me a little money to when I get going.
- 07:58 - 08:01
And after a few years that I might have a little more money,
- 08:02 - 08:06
and it's so it's easier for me to pay things off.
- 08:06 - 08:10
If I still have to pay a loan off, they'll have money to do that.
- 08:10 - 08:15
I have money to get new tools if I need them. I have money to do other get materials.
- 08:15 - 08:16
If I run out or,
- 08:16 - 08:23
uh, if I need to rent a giant skid steer or something, I can I have money for that.
- 08:23 - 08:26
So it, uh, landscaping pace
- 08:27 - 08:33
pays decent, and it just always depends on how many jobs you have, how big the jobs are
- 08:33 - 08:34
for the year.
- 08:35 - 08:37
And so for this, it's
- 08:38 - 08:39
I want a service.
- 08:39 - 08:42
Come, I have a service company, an agent or a broker and a consumer, So
- 08:43 - 08:47
I'm going to be the service company because my company will be because
- 08:47 - 08:51
I will provide a service of the landscaping to do that for them.
- 08:51 - 08:55
And then the agent and broker is my dad because he helps me.
- 08:55 - 08:57
It's his business that I'm going to buy off
- 08:57 - 09:00
so he'll help me with the financial stuff and
- 09:00 - 09:03
stuff that I'm going to need help with because he understands to do that.
- 09:03 - 09:07
So it will help me in the long run with having
- 09:07 - 09:10
him to be able to talk to and ask for assistance.
- 09:10 - 09:15
And the consumers are obviously the customers that I'm doing the job for.
- 09:15 - 09:18
So for my team,
- 09:18 - 09:21
it's me as the owner, and my brother is the owner,
- 09:21 - 09:24
um, which will be co owners.
- 09:24 - 09:26
And he will own the landscaping or the
- 09:26 - 09:29
construction part where I do the landscaping part.
- 09:29 - 09:33
Um, my dad obviously, is our broker and the consumers. So
- 09:34 - 09:37
that will be the customers that I'm doing the project for,
- 09:38 - 09:43
um, for my capital. All I need is a startup loan,
- 09:43 - 09:45
and that helps me pay off for the equipment
- 09:46 - 09:51
and then some materials to do some things around my house and so I can have a little
- 09:51 - 09:55
show like I can take pictures of what I've done in a little bit at my house.
- 09:55 - 09:59
But the startup plan will help me more with getting the equipment, the tools,
- 09:59 - 10:00
ready for
- 10:00 - 10:04
the stuff that I need to do to be able to be able to be
- 10:04 - 10:07
as a company, er, landscaping company.
- 10:07 - 10:11
So I could always have a little, and it helps me get just
- 10:12 - 10:14
get up on my feet and I'm trying to start.
- 10:15 - 10:17
So for my closing is
- 10:18 - 10:23
for Robert's landscaping is it's going to be a big benefit for other
- 10:23 - 10:27
people because I'm not going to be too expensive like other landscapers.
- 10:27 - 10:32
And I wanted, like to say towards the mid range of price and not make it expensive,
- 10:32 - 10:36
and I'm not going to make it really, really short, really, really cheap.
- 10:37 - 10:39
So it's going to stay towards the middle of it
- 10:39 - 10:41
and it will help me with
- 10:42 - 10:43
getting customers.
- 10:43 - 10:44
And it's me help getting there,
- 10:44 - 10:48
doing the service for the people because I don't help or
- 10:48 - 10:52
I'm not extremely expensive and I'm going to have to make.
- 10:52 - 10:54
I don't want to be extremely cheap because it helps me
- 10:55 - 10:58
if I stay in the middle because I won't make as much money as if I'm cheap.
- 10:58 - 11:02
I won't make enough money if I'm expensive because nobody will want it
- 11:02 - 11:05
or I'm just gonna have a lot of jobs, but
- 11:06 - 11:08
it won't help or pay off.
- 11:08 - 11:13
Um, so if you guys have any questions, actually, time to ask
- 11:15 - 11:17
and there's my reference
