Here’s a quick lesson I learned the hard way
I thought I’d save a few bucks by loading all the old lava rock from a landscape renovation onto my standard open-bed trailer instead of renting a dump trailer. Loading was a breeze—gravity did half the work. Unloading? Different story. Without a hydraulic lift, every single rock had to be shoveled out by hand. Four hours later, I finally rolled away—sore, sweaty, and wishing I’d spent the extra cash. Take it from me: the right equipment turns a back-breaking afternoon into a five-minute button-press. Think twice, rent once, and keep your profit (and your spine) intact.
Looking for a grant
Looking for a grant to fund my lawn care business I already have over 35 customers. Both my mowers have broke down and left me basically stranded having to borrow one from my dad to get jobs done . It's something I love to do help people give great prices it's not about the money it's about helping people for me . I hope to get this grant it would grow my business significantly.

There are days when the money’s slow, the rates are lower than expected, and the funding seems just out of reach. On those days, the dream feels distant, and the weight of it all can feel heavy. But every entrepreneur knows: this is part of the journey. What many don’t tell you is that the hard times are what shape you, and every ‘no’ brings you closer to the ‘yes.’ The struggles are temporary, but the lessons they teach you are forever. If you’re struggling right now, keep going. The breakthrough is just around the corner.”

Hey everyone! I live in the west suburbs of Chicago and run a handyman business. Would love to connect with others in the area that use Jobber for their businesses, perhaps share some best practices, build some referrals between one another, chat about business, etc. I'm also an Army veteran, so if there are other veterans and first responders outside of Chicago that want to connect and share some of our unique entrepreneurial challenges, I'm here for that as well! Drop a comment if you're interested in connecting... perhaps we can start a Slack/Discord channel or meet up for coffee if you're in the #Chicago area.

In today’s world, some of the most impactful mentors are people we’ve never met. Through their content, they share their wisdom, experiences, and strategies, guiding us from afar. For me, one of those game-changing figures is Alex Hormozi. Alex’s straightforward advice and no-nonsense approach to business have completely reshaped how I think about growth, discipline, and strategy. His ability to break down complex ideas into simple, actionable steps has helped me make better decisions, even when things felt overwhelming. What makes distant mentorship so powerful is that it’s always there when you need it. On tough days, revisiting Alex’s videos or insights gives me the clarity and motivation to keep moving forward. It’s a reminder that even without meeting someone in person, their work can profoundly impact your path. Who’s been your distant mentor?
