Originally from England and now based in Australia, Matt Lee of the Tree Fairy Arborist brings excitement and solid growth advice to this episode!
Matt has spent the past two years running his own tree business and loves it. He knew he wanted to branch out on his own when he was in Australia and the opportunity presented itself. After chatting with the wife, he embarked on his own venture.
Show Highlights:
- Matt saved over several years and also went to the bank and convinced them to help him start his business.
- The first year was a challenge, mainly with staffing. How do you convince someone to come work for you when you can’t guarantee a solid income?
Advice:
- Don’t get “flashy” by spending $$ on brand new equipment or shiny trucks when you’re first starting out – stay smart!
- Don’t listen when other people tell you how hard it is to run a business. They will only slow you down.
Marketing:
- He started his IG as a way to gain staff and get them excited. It wasn’t initially for marketing reasons.
- Word of mouth has been huge in growing the business.
- He plans to scale soon but wants it to be an organic and natural development.
