I was one of those guys that started a tree company 20 years ago on a shoe string and a prayer. Through my own experience and through the experience of many whom I have watched, the following is a common pattern:
A climber is tired of making money for his employer, and is convinced he can do better on his own.
After months of doing secret side work he makes the leap.
He offers his services to other tree companies as a hired gun.
He finds himself working in multiple unsafe work environments doing the biggest baddest trees, that no one else can do, multiple times per week.
He begins signing more of his own work to avoid the above situations.
Finally, he hires his first employee, and the road to self employment begins to turn into a slippery slope to business enslavement.
His first year of taxes reveals that record keeping is not his skill.
He finds out almost too late that employees do not work nearly as hard as he does and all of his bids are seeming low.
Finally, the third party money lenders get to him and he buys in to one or more no money down leases, because he's convinced that better equipment will bring more work. He finds out too late that equipment only completes work, he must find a way to get the work.
The end scenario, all too often finds a man enslaved to a ball and chain that has him doing everything but what he thought he loved to do.
I have seen it, I have experienced it and I believe I have solved it. Follow the link below if you are interested. http://hammsarborcare.com/recruitment/
