Update: My landscaping crew landed a huge job in Royal Oak last week
Got a call from a property manager for a full commercial lot cleanup. They needed it done in three days. We worked 12 hour shifts, but the crew was solid. Client paid the $8,500 invoice on the spot. Anyone else get a surprise big contract that just made the whole month?

Totally get that feeling. We had a hotel chain call us out of the blue for emergency storm cleanup. That one check covered our slow season. Makes all the long days worth it.

Sounds like a burnout trap to me.

Point out how "making all the long days worth it" sounds like a SCRIPT for a company cult meeting, not a real business strategy. A big check doesn't fix being dead tired and missing your kid's soccer game. People act like one payday erases months of running on fumes. Sure it pays the bills but at what cost to your sanity? I'd rather have steady work year round than chase one giant storm check like it's a golden ticket.
