Learning to Charge What You Are Worth

Asher grew Messer Lawn Care from a wheelbarrow start at age 12 to a business serving about 50 to 65 clients by age 16. I speak with him about how he scaled the work, bought a truck and trailer, and expanded beyond his neighborhood. We discuss the importance of defining a service area, sticking to core services, and avoiding saying yes to every request. I ask about pricing, calculating true job cost, and the profit potential of upsells like core aeration and fertilization. Asher shares how he sets boundaries with customers, charges for extra work, and tracks both variable and fixed costs to stay profitable. We end with practical advice on setting a man-hour rate, using systems to collect payment, and building a business that can run without him.
