Pittsburgh.

Hey, everyone. My name is Mike Andes. I'm the founder of Augusta Lawn Care. We have over 150 locations around the world. Today we're in Pittsburgh working with Jimmy Patterson from a hydro seating business.
Not, you know, easy running a business and a lot of money going out and not enough coming in.
Last year, he was actually a full service landscape business, but he had a bad business breakup.
He just kind of said that everything was a little too stressful for him.
Let's get jobs on the schedule. Put the fire under your butt and be like, I must get this fixed.
Honestly, just mentally, it drained me. I took it out yesterday for the first time and had a terrible day. It made me want to quit my entire business.
So let's see if we can turn this thing around and get a rebrand done.
