Russ, before we start I would like to Thanks you for taking the time to sit down with me to find out more about yourself and your company, Parrish Landscaping.
Q1) Russ, Start off by giving me a brief overview of yourself?
A1) To start, I graduated from NC State University with a Degree in Agricultural Business Management and Biological Science, with a minor in Economics. This is where I really found my passion for horticulture and explaining my small grass cutting business. I started out many years ago with a push mower, a weed eater and a blower. Now I have a very profitable business with a lot more overhead and equipment.
Q2) How did you set up your company?
A2) I basically set my company up very cautiously, testing the market before investing too much capital. I used what I had and worked on the side at first, but once I saw the customers where pleased with my work and were recommending me to other people, I began making my company “more legitimate.” I bought new equipment, invested in insurance, spent money on marketing ideas.
