As I read in ArborAge (decades ago when it was still a good magazine) "the general public has us rated a notch above garbage pickers."

That was encouraging for a young man bitten by the tree work bug!

Yeah, some of us did not read mags back then.

Somebody should start a "top reasons why you sometimes consider getting out of the biz" thread., winter is always a good time for #####ing.

Don't forget paying big money for yellow page ads like the other 100 tree services, that will have you wasting your time and fuel bidding against each other... which will result in little if any work at all.

I wanna hire a bunch of hot and tan college girls to do clean up. But they have to wear a uniform.
Hot pink wife beater,1/2 shirt, with my logo. Belly ring. Daisy dukes, gray and red socks, tan work boots, pig tails. Optional red flannel, unbuttoned of course!
They will not be aloud to bend their knees when picking anything up.
That should help pick up some customers!

I worked with a guy who "had" a nipple ring on while dragging brush on a hot day. Was not a pretty sight.
