  1. Dear John: All industries reach a saturation point. Moving to other areas may help with more work but not higher pay. I believe you should continue to keep up with your schooling and focus on the things you are really good at and really work hard on improving those skills.

    Remember no one can pimp yourself or your service better than you. At least that is what I have done.

  2. Dear Rob: As an inventor I know of your concerns. I believe that anyone you work with needs to sign a non disclosure agreement with you. This will protect you and your idea to a point. If whoever you want to deal with refuses to sign such an agreement my advise would be to thank them and leave at once. Your idea is only as good as the people you know and trust to work with you and not against you. You may wish to contact some of your local schools to seek advise and or assistance. If you have the funds available a Patent att. might also be a good idea to perform a Patent search for your idea or product. FYI If you try to secure Patent rights to protect you all over the world, I hope you have pockets 50 feet deep. You will need it!. Remember the patent rights will not protect the inventor, that is up to the attorney and the court to decide. I wish you the best since the Inventors road is very long and not for jack wagons or the faint of heart.

  3. I agree with Timber Cutter unless mowing of turf is part of your core business you may think twice before making the additional investment of time/material cost before you see a return on investment. The fact that you have a much shorter growing season for your turf should also factor in to taking on this job.

  4. Here in the states I would provide a discount off the job est. if I was the winning bider. Working for nothing in any industry much less the tree industry is ok if you or your employer can afford it. There are many hidden cost and benifits from hiring someone for the sake of getting started in ones job. I prefer to hire someone fresh out of school and pay according to knowledge and desire to make something better of ones self. Working for nothing still pays the same problem is it's hard to pay the bills from experience.

  5. Dear Mark: We have people here in the US that not only expect but demand the status quo and if there is no funding available to support their life style than everything must come to a halt,or so they think. I come from a very hard working family much as I believe most people in the Arborcultural industry. Mainly self reliant by nature and willing to help others willing to help them selfs.
