Topline to The Moon Goals with Growing Green Landscapes
I'm always eager to learn from other successful business owners in the green industry. In our latest episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Jeremiah and Savannah Jennings of Growing Green Landscapes on The Kid Contractor Podcast to discuss how they're navigating the current economic climate and chasing their ambitious "topline to the moon" goals. Jeremiah and Savannah shared some invaluable insights that any landscaping business owner can learn from. Despite the economic headwinds, their business has remained resilient, thanks to their focus on diversifying their service offerings and client base. They've strategically expanded into areas like irrigation and design-build work, ensuring they're not overly reliant on any single revenue stream. What struck me most was Savannah's perspective on the role of equipment purchases in their business growth. As the spouse not directly involved in the day-to-day operations, she initially had reservations about major investments like their mini skid steer and excavator. However, after seeing the tangible benefits these machines brought to their efficiency and productivity, she became a strong advocate for making strategic equipment upgrades. This highlights the importance of clear communication and alignment between business partners, especially when it comes to significant financial decisions. Jeremiah and Savannah's willingness to have open and thoughtful discussions ultimately strengthened their business and their marriage. As we navigate these uncertain times, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Jeremiah and Savannah's experiences. Their commitment to quality, diversification, and intentional growth is a testament to the resilience of the green industry. I encourage all my fellow landscaping business owners to tune in and take notes - the insights they shared just might be the key to recession-proofing your own company.
