Just wanted to share what following the process looks like! If people in here are on the fence about making this their full time job, I made the jump in early March to go full time into this. We had our first baby in October and my wife was very skeptical/nervous, dare I say excited, about the whole idea of me quitting. I have been bouncing between jobs about every 8-10 months, and this last job was 90k salary with killer benefits, but I was battling depression, low energy, and just wasn’t myself. I sat down with my wife, showed her my plan, and I went all in. In Austin’s starter scorecard I had a goal of my first 3 months going 10, 20, 30k in revenue. Currently, around 3 weeks into April I will hit 60k in revenue, which is 6 weeks ahead of my plan. Long story short, it works. I look in this group every day for motivation and I see some great people doing amazing things. Asking questions. Taking feedback. Moving forward. Generating results. @Austin Gray ’s community here is fantastic, and I can’t help but feel thankful and alive this Easter weekend! I feel that we are all hard nosed, hard working individuals, and I pray that we all find peace, success and something to pour our work ethic into! Big things coming in 2026 for this group!

Do you guys price these out and still use your regular skidsteer. Since im still in the renting equipment phase, should I buy a smaller mulcher for these types of jobs? Or skip them entirely. Thanks. 🙏

I just watched the Youtube video from Austin on systems & AI for Land Clearing. They showed an estimator for building job estimates quickly. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9Z38EPF_74 My point is, with just my phone I created my own version. Shown below https://go.chazmoore.net/brush Why is this relevant: I am moving from Alaska to Oklahoma and working to get my CDL to get started. While I have this time where I cant be productive, I am learning all I can about the systems. This took me 40 minutes to build. Its not accurate yet since I have no idea what my numbers will be or how much overhead I need to plan for but my point is this: anyone can do this. It was so easy and uncomplicated to create. I did this with Claude and my prompt was this: "I’m starting a forestry mulching business called brush bison I want you to read below and come up with a web app calculator for pricing. Example, 10 acres on mild brush density on rolling hills will cost this much. Assume monthly overhead is 10k. The note on the machines, teeth, grease gas etc." I then gave it the inputs of a business plan that I bought for $9 from brushwork co. The guy who quoted a project with Meta's Ai Glasses. It gave the differences in terrain and density of the brush. Thats it. Again, I dont own a machine or know the rental prices yes to factor in accurately. But for those who are afraid to start using Ai to help build out there systems its quite easy to get started. Think of Ai as a friend and your just talking to him. if something doesnt look right just say exactly that and the ai will attempt to fix it. 2nd point. For those with experience what am I missing? Is my calculator it too high - low? (I understand each market is different) I do not have a minimum day rate established yet in this. I put a general monthly overhead at 10k, divided by 16 working days a month to come up with the price. (Owner/Operator)

I am never able to watch these live as I coach Friday mornings until 0730, but I would love some feedback! I’m running these 3 video creatives, have had 23 leads and have around a $70 cost per lead (avg of 2 campaigns). Quoted 72k and have closed 29.9k on 6 jobs since mid Feb. Spent around 1600 on FB ads. @Austin Gray

Gotta get a quote out tonight. Going to all be done with a mini ex and an fmx36. There's about 90 yards of a small creek, not more than 15 feet of width off the bank I need to clean up. How do I price that. Area is very small, but cannot get it with a skid and will be tedious. Any help appreciated but need asap!
