Off-Season Cures, Performance Incentives, and More: Growth Strategy for Home Services | Mike Andes

Описание: #761 What if growing your home service business slower is actually the fastest path to profit and freedom? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, to break down how home service businesses can grow without getting crushed by seasonality, overhead, or the “bigger is better” trap. Mike shares his origin story (including starting college at 13!), then dives into his practical “off-season cures” (from winter services to inverse-demand add-ons like holiday lights), how pay-for-performance compensation can drive speed and quality with the right guardrails, and why open-book management + profit sharing can align the whole team like owners. They also unpack Mike’s “Copy + Paste” growth philosophy — focusing on profitability and smart capacity limits before scaling locations — plus why many operators would be better off raising prices and reducing ad dependency than endlessly chasing more revenue!
