I have been in landscaping for 20 years I started knowing nothing... I was greatfull to have someone teach me everything...
I saved And purchase my house at the age of 27. Paid in full with cash as we currently live in now. Living debt-free and mortgage-free in our house has been extremely liberating.
I was tired of working for other people when I was in the industry that I learned from the ground up and I started my own business.
I started landscaping and took matters into my own hands and now am an owner operator for my own business. I will say however, with the way things are in society and economics that I could potentially be earning more working for somebody else. However, owning my own business has allowed me to give me the biggest freedom of all and that is time I can dictate when I want to take time off of work, control my workload and be able to be in control of everything.
I operate my business completely debt free. Everything we do is pay for in cash.
