Why Most Landscape Owners Burn Out

Reach Out Via Text! In this episode, I sit down with Jesus “Alex” Nieto of Highland Landscaping in Texas to unpack one of the most honest entrepreneurial journeys we’ve had on the show. Alex walked away from a six-figure refinery career with two young daughters at home to start mowing yards with a residential mower, a Ryobi weed eater, and almost no savings. After burning out and nearly shutting the business down in 2024, he made a pivotal decision to invest in himself, change his leadership style, and rebuild his company from the inside out. We talk about culture, burnout, integrating family and business, getting in the right rooms, and what it really looks like to scale from $300K to $750K the right way. If you’ve ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure whether to keep going, this one’s for you!Support the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/[email protected] Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/
