Sharing the Ad
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1abHit8Vpw/?mibextid=wwXIfr Been few weeks but finally took Austin’s advice from his look he sent me while back, and from @Josh Reaper @Corey Adams and came up with this. I had to do some cutting editing don’t know how well it gonna do yet but published it yesterday

Looks good, the cutting does make it a little but choppy but all your points are getting across just fine!
Mulching VS. Gravel
Hey Everyone! I have been operating based on just boosting posts and word of mouth and have been somewhat steady. I am looking to run an actual campaign here shortly to load up my calendar. Main question I have is that the majority of my jobs have been gravel driveways with a few mulching jobs here and there. Any recommendations if I should hit heavy on the gravel advertisement since it is what has been keeping me busy, or should I go heavy into the mulching and build more clientele for that? I am just not 100% sure which route I should specialize my business towards, or should I keep offering both services? My initial plan was to only offer mulching, but without much advertising I have been doing mostly gravel.

@Zach Taylor for sure. I enjoy both but do like mulching more. I suppose I'm just curious if others have seen a correlation between organic lead numbers to the number of qualified leads that occur when running ads. Would gravel end up being busier than mulching from ads since there has been more organic leads for it?
FOCUS
The hardest part of building a real business is not what you say “yes” to. It’s what you have to say “no” to. If you’re like me, “shiny objects” are real. New machines. New ideas. New services. New side business. The toughest part? You could probably do most of it pretty well. But that’s what makes it dangerous. Discipline for guys like us isn't about “waking up early” or “working hard” — that's in our DNA Discipline is this: Being able to look at all the fun, new ideas and say, “No. I’m going to fix the one hard problem in my business first.” In your business, the thing you NEED to do almost always feels harder than the thing you WANT to do. Why? Because you don’t know how to do it yet. Or maybe you kind of know what to do… but you know it will take longer than you want. So instead of addressing the "hard thing" head on, most operators: Buy a new machine or attachment Research "better" machine upgrades or HP options Start a new service (like excavation) Switch to a new service area Tinker with new software to “optimize” the backend But the truth is, we just need to be honest and ask: 1. What is actually holding my business back right now? 2. Am I spending my time fixing THAT thing? If cash is your bottleneck, you fix your prices until you make real profit If leads are your bottleneck, you learn how to market better until more leads come in If closing is your bottleneck, you call/text leads faster until you start winning more jobs Not “another project.” Not “build a house on the side.” Not “add a second business.” Not “research the latest high-flow technology” The question is not, “What else could I do?” The better questions are: “What's the bottleneck in my business right now?” “What am I not doing because I don't know how?” Step 1: Tell the truth about the single most important problem in your business that is: - taking way too long to fix, or - you really don’t know how to fix Step 2: Bite down on that problem like a log in the grapple and don’t let go until it’s in the pile.

My biggest problem has been offering any service possible with a skidsteer, just to keep the work coming in. I need to market just mulching or gravel and hit it hard! Bottom line, my bottleneck is marketing/ lead flow. It's time to start running ads and really bring in the leads.
