A short YouTube video by Mike Andes offering practical tips for solo operators. Key recommendations in this segment: (1) set up automations for follow-up billing and collections so you can schedule time off and avoid burnout, and (2) build a support network—locally and online—to share workload and get help when unwell or overwhelmed.
Alright, Number five is you've got to have automations running for follow up billing and collections so that you can schedule time off to actually recuperate and refresh your body because you're gonna get worn out otherwise. Alright six and final thing is get support. Be part of a community. It can be very lonely being a solo operator because everything falls on your shoulders. All the physical stress of working outside falls on your shoulders. There's no one else to delegate or give things off to. If you're not feeling well I recommend locally and online. Get part of a community and get support. Get someone else that's willing to jump in and help you when you don't feel well. When you need help on a project that's gonna be a huge thing for you. Stop with the whole like oh it's competition, there's so much work out there. Go get support. Go talk to other people, help them. You can get that from your local landscaping and business owners that can absolutely create that support network for you.
