A successful landscape contractor once said, “No one ever went out of business because they didn’t know enough about plants.”
While this might be an exaggeration, most people would agree that a little business knowledge can go a long way. Information is valuable, and one piece of new knowledge can drastically change your future. If you find yourself working hard and not making enough money, you might want to learn more about the business end of the job.
