Short excerpt from a July 14, 2025 YouTube video titled "SCARED of Raising Prices? Watch This ☝🏼" by Mike Andes. The speaker describes raising lawn-mowing prices (roughly a $30 increase per lawn, bringing prices to about $37–$40 — about a 20% increase), observing only a small drop in customers (from ~110 to ~100) and keeping a cash buffer of about $30k–$40k as a result. The passage emphasizes financial peace of mind after the increase and minimal customer loss.

Chapters

After raising prices, I just consistently kept 30, 40 grand in the bank. So it's a peace of mind thing where if something goes wrong, it's not like I'm trying to scrape together $500 to fix a mower or something. How many mowing customers we have before that? Off the top of my head, probably like 110. And we probably went down to like maybe 100. What was the percentage that you kind of raised it? $30. Lawns probably went up to around 37, 40. Right. Depending on 20% increase. Right. Around 20. Definitely raised prices on everyone and didn't lose. Didn't lose very much.
