    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Why are you guys offended? Because I was honest and straightforward with you and told you my motives? Arent you glad that there are people out there that respect your industry enough to ask you guys for help? Instead, most of you just started questioning my motives, offered no help whatsoever...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Sure we can go with that. But this character here is gonna make bank scaling this type of business. Judging by what I've seen so far there's a huge opportunity to take advantage of in this industry.

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    I apologize for calling you ignorant. I should not have thrown out any name calling. Having said that, what you are showing me does NOT indicate that I have to be an ISA certified arborist in my area. What that is telling you is that to perform work on public rights of way, the companies need...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Done I have a dump trailer and pickup truck plus all the cleanup tools. Initially I would be doing all the cleaning. As my job scales I would hire ground workers. This is something that I will learn the hard way. So far, I have guessed right. How do I know? I ask customers to tell me how much...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    I agree with you. Thank you for taking the time to even tell me all this. My timeframe is 5 years. I am starting this business slowly, no rush, and looking to do things right. This is exactly why I am here. If I didnt give a fuck and wanted to be just a hack, I would just go out there and do the...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Thanks man. I will actually follow the advice given today and next step is to look for a good climber. Not gonna be doing the work myself. Last thing I want to do is endanger myself and others.

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Your passive aggressive comments aren't appreciated. Wishing me luck and feeling bad for the 'suckers' that hire me is disingenuous. Suggesting that I know more about climbing than tree service is ignorant. But I imagine that if this is the way you treat strangers on the internet, you probably...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Yes. Here in my area you don't need to be ISA certified. I wish there were a way I could show my knowledge. I have read up on tree biology, anatomy, etc. I don't do pest control because I don't know much about that. But that's OK since I can work with someone on that. I feel many here are...

    Uhmm yeah dude I don't know what to tell you. Ultimately you will believe what you want. To everyone else that has genuinely tried to help I really appreciate it.

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    OK no offense but half of what you said is simply not true. I like pruning trees and have before. But to say that I need to love the work is bs. My joy is building processes and building businesses. Helped my dad build his. Now to say that you will always be a monkey is also not true. I...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Why would this be a trolling post? I came here to ask for help not troll. Anyways I agree with everything else you are saying. Sounds like I need to find a climber

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Because I'm not curious about that. Tree work catches my eye. There's a huge opportunity in this line of work.

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    I don't think I'm communicating correctly. I don't plan to do this work for more than a year. I plan on building systems, building a business and having others do the work. I'm passionate about building businesses and I have worked in landscaping for 10 plus years. It's not tree work but I...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    I guess it caught my eye and curiosity along with the fact that it' brings in bank once you scale it

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Agree with everything you just said. It's crazy to me that they pay 18 an hour here in my area. I would be down to pay 30 for someone that could do the work in a safe manner. Definitely can't do 50 as of yet but maybe in the future. The more I pay the better talent I will attract

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Heres the thing, I have invested heavily these last 3 months in training. Here is what I have done so far: Bought the Tree Climbing Course from WesSpur that I will be attending next week. Its a 24 hour course on just climbing. Will try to see if I can go up with chainsaw and all gear. Have been...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    Yup totally agree. Ideally I'm starting this out as a side hustle. The trees that I have estimated look easy to me. I have turned any down that look complex. But again, do I even know what easy is? These trees are all under 50 feet, not around any Agreed 100%. Any advise on how to find a...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    That's the thing. I can't get a job because my circumstances are different. If I could work for a company that pays me 60k plus to cover my current lifestyle then yes I would do it. But unfortunately that's not possible. In regards to climbing, I don't want to climb. I want to work on my...
