Anyways, it’s been a pleasure.

Hey y’all, Shani here.

I was looking over my cash flow spreadsheet and lookin’ at my billable hours and thinking the way the time I spend on the different products will wax and wane throughout the year. There is a cyclical pattern to this work flow, especially because it’s seasonal. So I went over to the KidZone and made a free graph, with my hours on the y axis, the month and year on the x axis and the data points with the amount of hours I spend on a different product each month.

Check it out.

I hope it’s not too grainy on y’alls’ ends. Well, there it is. There is an obvious cyclical pattern. I do more maintenance and installation for my 6 month subscribers, which increases dramatically in year 2. I rely on consultation and design work for established clients (projects) to take up the bulk of my time, especially in winter. I install and maintain landscapes for the clients who aren’t subscribers mostly during the growing season, with very little recruitment in the winter months. And I give myself mainly 10 hours a month to consult and design for new clients  as part of the recruitment process. 

I like how my work flow slows down just in time for tax season.

Lemme know what y’all think!

Mar 05

Just gotta have a contract when you’re dealing with long term projects. Here’s two versions of when I’ve come up with for my edible landscaping business “Soulful Soils”. Let me know which what you like best and what can be improved!

Advice one) Skip the “Legalese”.

A2) Say what you gotta say.

A3) Think of the top ten things you care about and keep it to that. For me it was liability, crop performance, payments, and project termination clause.

 

See ya next time~
