Mike Andes (YouTube video) warns that many service business owners mismanage the spring rush by taking new customers on a first-come, first-serve basis, which creates a large spring workload and inconsistent work later in the year.

The biggest mistake service business owners make is mismanaging the spring rush. They operate on a first come, first serve basis for new customers. This creates a massive spike of work in the spring followed by inconsistent work the rest of the year. Instead, they can make more profit and have better cash flow year round if they focused only on recurring jobs during the busy season and then pushed off all the one time projects to the off season.
