Bamboo
Anyone have any experience with a bamboo forest? I've got three acres of really dense bamboo. You can barely squeeze through it. The stalks are about the size of the base of a baseball bat, 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. I have no idea what a rate could be on this. I'm thinking a half acre a day, but again, no experience. Anyone who has any insight, I would appreciate

I have worked bamboo on a couple of jobs. Its not the worst to mulch but make sure those teach are fresh (knives). The main thing is drop the boom from high and grind all the way down. Thicker bamboo stalks can cut up your tracks if you don't grind it all the way. The other thing is to make sure you blow out your machine every so often because of the dust they create
My 1st 3 full weeks of business running Facebook ads
I'm writing to you guys about this win, because I think some of you need to hear it. You need to hear that this business is real and you can do it if you follow the plan that @Austin Gray laid out so perfectly for us. Follow it and do exactly what he says. You just need to act. Cowboy up, and start buckin. Disclaimer: I have a full-time management job in aviation, so any of this new business idea stuff has to be weekends and afternoons. So keep that in mind while you read this. 5 weeks ago, I had nothing but a plan. No machine, no mulcher, no money. Nothing. I knew i had a small bonus from work coming, so I'd use that as ad money and operating capital. But I started with nothing. But I knew I could do this. I came across OwnrOps on YouTube and started soaking everything up. And I mean I watched it all. Luckily I didn't join any fb groups first, because I probably wouldn't have taken the leap. Most of that crowd is made up of losers and dream busters anyway. I watched all of Austin's starter info and got more excited and pumped the deeper I dove. I finally messaged Austin and asked him if he thought running ads without a machine and booking jobs was a good idea to test my market and my resolve. Well... the first 3 days of running ads, I booked 3 jobs from 4 leads. I was HOOKED. It was thrilling. Here I am... no machine and I'm scheduling jobs. Crazy, right!?! 😆 I needed to see if I could prove my business case to myself, and if it was worth me going and buying a machine. I thought, well... if I can book 3 jobs in 3 days from 4 leads, I'm good to go! So I did. I got financed (easier than financing a 30k car, which was scary) and bought a machine that costs more than my first house. Nuts, right?! It was going great for the first 5 days, then boom! I got stalled by fb- I started running ads 5 weeks ago, but Facebook shut me down for 2 weeks due to card verification problems. So truly my ads have only been spending for 3 solid weeks. Since they started spending, almost everyday I've been quoting jobs after my 9-5. Sometimes 3 and 4 in an afternoon.

This is awesome, and is such a motivator. I am in the same boat right now. 4 weeks ago we started the business and I am launching my website this week. I am going to rent a skid and do some work on my own property to create additional content for our ads so that we can have multiple creatives running. We have a baby on the way and I am working full time but my plan is to get some quotes done over the next two months and maybe some work on the weekends. Once the baby is here that's 6 weeks of time off I can use to work as many jobs as I can to prove this is the path so that I can quit.
