What does it take to build a thriving business that runs like a well-oiled machine without losing sight of your people?
In this success story, we hear how one entrepreneur turned a one-man lawn care startup into a multi-location operation built on faith, family, and smart systems.

The early grind, from flyers to long days and "working scared"
Investing in growth and mentorship through strategic consulting
How structure, process, and people fuel scalability
