A short YouTube discussion (Mike Andes and others) offering practical hiring advice for people running a lawn care business from their home. The speakers emphasize separating personal and business spaces (parking, shop location, daily routines) so employees feel they are coming to a workplace rather than into the owner's home.
All right, hiring, but especially if the equipment and shop is located at your house and working a full time job. Buddy Morgan.
So he's asking specifically about hiring.
Yeah, this is hiring, comma, but especially if the equipment and shop is located at your house and working a full time job.
Okay, so my two cents on this is you got to separate the business and your personal life for your employees sake. Because if you're working from your house every day and you're coming out every morning with like a donut in one hand, a coffee in the other, and your kids are running around, it just kind of blends, in my opinion. Too much the business and your household. Too much. And the employees become so common with that, it kind of feels weird. They feel like they're coming to your house instead of a place of work. So I would, if I was you. Try to separate, like have a different area for parking the trucks instead of like your front garage where your wife and kids park, for example, and where all your kids are getting picked up for the morning from school.
Try to separate it as much as.
Possible so your employees feel like they're coming to work and they're not coming over to your house for a midday tea.
