Today we are going to make some money. Money, money, money. We've been sitting on our butt making videos. People haven't been subscribing, and it's time to make some money. We're out mowing today. Josh is behind the camera. We are in the trailer to set up. We got the 30x mower. I think we've got 16 jobs on our route today, and I'm getting a little rusty. So you gotta come out of retirement. Josh is getting lazy. Josh is getting lazy doing videos. And so we're gonna prove that we can do this still. And we're go make some money, baby.
30 minutes. Estimated time. 18 minutes. Stop. Job complete. Yes, sir. See how long they last in terms of energy. I don't have my air. AirPods. I don't know where they went. I lost them last night somewhere. So no music, no podcast, no books, stinks? No. Okay, next one. Chucking up builders includes two strips of grass along south side of building. Knock down weeds along base of retaining wall in front of most of the clippings. Do not go on the wall and building. Clean off the windows and wall from any previous wish. Okay. Sounds like we're janitorial.
Hi, Are you Vicky?
Yeah.
I just want to say I love your backyard.
Oh, thank you.
Beautiful. That little solar fountain is cool.
Oh, thanks. Yeah, I just. Well, when the COVID thing happened, I decided to work on my backyard.
Yeah? Yeah. It looks beautiful, the raised gardens. What's that little stove thing in the corner? Is that like a fire pit almost?
Yeah, that's a little.
That's awesome. Very cool. Well, you have a good day.
Well, thank you.
Take care.
If that doesn't deserve to subscribe, I don't know what does.
Oh, the difference four years makes. See, four years ago, I was teaching Josh how to mow. Now he sits in the truck videoing me working. Tell you what.
Foreign.
We're headed back to Fred Meyer. Josh gets tired around midday 12:30. He needs to take a little nap. So we're gonna drop him off. He's actually gonna go and film another crew, get some pictures and video for the Augusta Lawn Care website. So I'm gonna say adios to you. I'm gonna keep mowing and then at the end of the day, we'll connect and go over P for P. So I'll see.
Hey, everyone. About six and a half hours a day. It's not a super long day. I gotta hop on a couple calls with some of the franchisees as well as Josh. Need to get his back to Blaine with his hard drive. So we're going to run the numbers on P4P. See what I did today in terms of revenue for the business and how much I made if I would have been an employee. Unfortunately I make zero. But if I was an employee, what I would have made on P2P. But first guy take off the mower. We put it, put it in the storage boxes, empty out some of the cool things that we picked up today and we'll park the truck.
Everyone asks how we get clippings out. We keep them in the bins. You let us simply walk off the tailgate, into the ramp and off. Not that.
Go dump the fins off and we're done.
Let's go.
Okay, so now we're gonna see how much I made p4psystem.com, if you're part of the course, you have access to this with the login and password. Definitely going to want to check this out. So very, very simple. So we do a certain percentage of our revenue to the employees and all this is inputted and on landscapebusinesscourse.com go to the P4P section. So let's run the numbers for me day the revenue and it's a one day route.
All right, and now we're going to go to service auto file. All right, so now we're going to service autopilot and I'm going to go to our dispatch board.
And let's go to today. Okay, so we are on service autopilot. I'm going to select all the jobs that I did today.
So it looks like I did.
Looks like I did.
12. So in 12, it took about, we were out in the field about six, six and a half hours. Okay, so select those. I'm going to see how much money.
We made.
So total revenues.
$500.93. Okay, see here.
All right, so now in P4PSystem.com I'm entering in the budget hours that was completed and the hourly rate. I don't just enter in the revenue because you might be doing jobs where you have product costs and things like that and the employee does not get a part of that money. They only get a piece of the labor revenue. So enter that in. And if you have different labor rates, for example. All right, so now I'm going to put my name in here.
And clocked in hours. We can show those guys. That's fine. Let's go to my.
All right, so timesheets here.
And see how long I punched in for the day here. So I work from 8:01 till 2:16. So a total of 6 hours and 15 minutes. So 6.25 hours. So back into p4bc.com 6.25 hours. Next. No manual adjustments, although I felt like I was kind of training Josh today, so I really should get a bonus for that. But we won't. We won't do that. Alright, so this is the breakdown for me today. I made $166 if I was an employee. And that's the percentage of the revenue that we give to the employees. And our hourly breakdown, if you know, you divide 166.13 divided by 6.25, I technically made about 26 and a half dollars per hour. Now it's really dry outside. This is not average, by no means. We didn't have yellow slips and we go pretty quickly. But like it's dry right now. I think we had one bin of clippings. Sometimes you have four or five easily. So definitely a quick, fast day here in the middle. But that's kind of how it works. Really, really simple and hopefully the day was fun. Thanks for coming along for the ride. It would make me very happy if you would like this video and subscribe to the channel. It's completely free and you know Josh gets his feelings hurt because of all the mocking that we give him. So you better like and subscribe. It makes him very happy. And we'll see you next time. If you like me mowing and seeing out in the field instead of me behind a microphone, comment below. We'll see you next time.
