He I got caught up in the wrong crowd in high school after Tommy John Surgery ended his dreams of playing professional baseball. He still managed to get accepted into the University of Cincinnati's Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning Program which he ended up completely blowing.
His uncle got him his first job in the green industry at a commercial lawn care supply warehouse after he dropped out. He bounced around working at a couple restaurants but always ended up back at a lawn care or landscaping business of some sort. When he got hired at a small family owned lawn care and landscaping business he realized that is what I wanted to do.
He started his business, Loyal Green, with hisparents' lawn equipment and even their vehicle to haul the equipment around. He literally had nothing and didn't have the money to buy it either. He also did not have a clue how to run a business at that point!
He kept working at the local business until he built up enough clients of his own...Ryan would do his customer's lawns in the evenings or on the weekends around his full-time work schedule. In March of 2011, he had to tell his boss that he was sorry and could not put in his 2 weeks. He had to handle his customers' lawns full time.
After 1 year of running the business full-time as a solo operator, he hired one of his friends and his brother in the second year running the business full-time. He kept adding trucks, equipment, and employees through 2015 which was his lawn care company's biggest revenue year ever. The problem was the profit margins were terrible and the number of hours he was working was not sustainable!
So, in 2016 he made several changes to his business model. 2016 and 2017 were the most profitable years of his business and the best part was, he was only working 8 hours a week on his business! The systems Ryan had created allowed his employees to handle most of the daily operational tasks. 2018 is poised to be Loyal Green's best year ever. Ryan just wants to see more people succeed!lihat lebih sedikit
