Last time we checked in with New Visions Lawn & Landscape, the company had grown at a rapid rate, but co-owners Michael Mould and Tiffany Tucker had no idea how profitable their jobs were or how they were generating revenue. Mould also needs to get out of the field and focus on selling jobs instead of working on them at the Panama City, Florida-based company.
Latest updates: Mould has struggled to remove himself from the manual labor aspect of the business, but an ankle injury has forced him to do just that and has left him with more time to work on the business instead of in the business.
“It’s challenging because I feel a lot is at stake and if I have my hands in something, everything is OK,” he says. “But for me to have a better quality of life I have to be able to count on people.”
So, he has counted on a couple of longtime employees who are coming through for him on jobs like a recent hardscape project Mould couldn’t be on site to do.
“The job didn’t go exactly how I wanted it to, but it got done,” he says. “We got paid and the guys learned something from it. Mistakes are going to be made from time to time, but if we grow through it, it’s worth it.”
