Quick update: Colorado is humming. Josh and Josiah are set up to run Bear Claw. I’m back in the seat I like best: building from scratch as owner-operator So I’m launching another Texas market from absolute zero this year with a goal of hitting $100K/month (again) Here’s the kicker: I’m using the same OPS Accelerator system I’m teaching… and this first cohort (starting Jan 31) gets behind‑the‑scenes access as I launch: - Offers, pricing, and minimum job sizes - How I book the first jobs and reviews - How I build the first crew to transition out of the seat - Weekly Trainings, Q&A, and real time feedback from my launch  If you want to copy my launch in your own market, drop “Texas” in the comments or hit the link to apply for OPS Accelerator 👉 https://start.ownrops.com P.S. same system i've used to build Bear Claw to 7 figures (and 1 hr per week time commitment) same system I used to grow another land clearing startup from 0-$150k/mo in 2025 same system Owen implemented to hit $37k in his first month land clearing biz same system @Colby McArthur used to double his tree business from $400 to $820k in 2025

Most land‑clearing guys think they’re making money. Sit them down and add up: - Operator labor - Fuel - Teeth & repairs - Insurance, ads, yard, notes, admin, your own salary …and you realize they’ve been donating days to the universe. Let’s fix that. Texas Skid Crew – Reality Check For our new Texas skid‑mulcher crew, one full day really costs: - Operator + burden: ~$423/day - Fuel: ~$280/day - Major wear & repairs: ~$75/day - Teeth: ~$90/day - Overhead share: ~$1,331/day True cost ≈ $2,200/day If you’re charging $2,000/day and calling that a “good day,” you’re lying to yourself. The Simple Rule (Texas Skid Crew) We’re locking the Texas skid crew at: $3,000/day Baseline production: 1 acre/day in medium brush, flat ground, normal access From there, estimating is just: 1. How many acres are we really treating? 2. Brush density? Light ≈ 1.5 ac/day Medium ≈ 1.0 ac/day Heavy ≈ 0.5 ac/day 3. Terrain / access? Easy → acres/day × 1.1 Normal → × 1.0 Rough/Pain → × 0.7 Then: Crew‑Days = Acres ÷ Acres/Day (round up)Price = Crew‑Days × $3,000 Examples: - 4 acres, medium, normal → 1 ac/day → 4 days → 4 × 3k = $12,000 - 6 acres, light, easy → ~1.65 ac/day → ~3.7 → 4 days → $12,000 - 3 acres, heavy, rough → 0.35 ac/day → ~8.6 → 9 days → $27,000 (or you phase it) What To Do With This - Admit your real cost/day. If you don’t know it, you’re guessing. - Pick a real day rate (not charity). I’m using $3k/day on the Texas skid crew as an entry number. It will go up as demand climbs. - Estimate in days, not vibes. Acres → density → access → days → days × day rate. Full stop. - Track est vs actual. Every time you miss, log it. Tighten the multipliers. Your pricing will get sharper every month if you’re honest. Free Tool I dropped a simple Job Cost & Crew‑Day Estimator in the Classroom Replays: OPS REPLAYS → Week 6 – Job Costing & Profit Make a copy, plug your own numbers in (labor, fuel, overhead), and stop pretending “$7,500 feels right” is a real system.

Going live this morning to fix the #1 thing that keeps land‑clearing guys busy but broke: You don’t actually know what one day of work costs you. On today’s livestream we’re going to: - Calculate your true cost per crew‑day(labor, fuel, teeth, repairs, overhead) - Set a real day rate so you’re not rolling machines for charity - Show a dead‑simple way to estimate days off acres, brush, and access - Walk through a live example from the new Texas skid crew - Give you a Job Cost & Crew‑Day Estimator sheet you can copy for your biz Who should be there: - You own/operate a mulcher, dozer, or excavator - You’re throwing out $5k–$15k bids based on “feels like” - Some months look good on paper, but the bank account disagrees 🕒 Time: 7am MST / 8am CST / 9am EST 📍 Where: https://youtube.com/@theownerop If you’re tired of working for free (or close to it) and want a clean system: be on this live. P.S. Bring your questions and Jacob & I will answer live!
