Many owners of lawn care and landscape businesses found their companies on the belief that they would make more money working for themselves than they would as employees. Dedicated to the maintenance and beautification of properties, they believe that their hard work and their expertise in softscape, hardscape, irrigation, or snow plowing will guarantee their company's success. But technical knowledge alone won't generate profit or help a company grow. In fact, the owners of lawn care and landscape companies often find themselves sacrificing their personal health and family life as they struggle to stay afloat and turn a tiny profit.

It doesn't have to be this way. By decreasing their expenses, managing their cash flow, and planning for strategic growth, these business owners can transform their companies into profit-making machines that reward them generously for their hard work, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Profit First for Lawn Care and Landscape Businesses provides a comprehensive, industry-specific toolbox, not available anywhere else. The Green Profit Toolbox(TM) was created to help owners of lawn care and landscape industry businesses ensure strong profits and long-term growth. Christeen Era has identified not only key business models and best practices in the industry but also the hidden bleeds that kill your profit margin and destroy your bottom line. She helps you see what you never saw before with assessments that provide a clear, accurate snapshot of your current operations. She's mapped out a road to success that helps you identify your best customers and most profitable services, allowing you to smash through the unseen obstacles that stand in your way. Best of all, she's your biggest supporter. When you use the Profit First for Lawn Care and Landscape Businesses program, you pay yourself first, and you pay yourself well.

Do you want more income and more time to spend with your family? Do you want to stop worrying about making your payroll and paying your taxes? Do you want to grow your business without taking on crushing debt? Profit First for Lawn Care and Landscape Businesses explains how to achieve these goals, helping you achieve long-term business stability, strategic growth, and (just maybe) the life of your dreams.

"The Eight Concepts" is a clear and concise description of the basic concepts of Bowen family system theory. Beginning with the fundamental concept of the nuclear family as the emotional unit, the other concepts -- differentiation of self scale, triangles, cutoff, family projection process, multigenerational transmission process, sibling position, and emotional processes of society -- are explained as they evolve out of the fundamental concept of the emotional unit. The emphasis is clarity of presentation and purity of presentation of theory. Numerous citations to the writings of Dr. Bowen and experts who studied under Dr. Bowen are used to present the theory in as pure a form as possible in a short and easy-to-read book. The special sections in each chapter for parents, coaches and leaders bring each concept home for different roles readers bring to the book. An index is included.

Would your family survive in lockdown if society were to collapse? Learn how to prepare your home now.

Three quarters of Americans say they're worried about serious incidents, natural disasters, and terror attacks affecting their communities, yet many of them are completely unprepared.

We are used to a world in which our homes are supplied with fresh water, gas, and electricity. We're used to having our waste removed and our sanitary needs met.

These are all things we've come to expect, but what would happen if they were taken away?

Flooding, hurricanes, and pandemics are affecting areas we once thought were safe from disaster--we shouldn't take anything for granted.

Prepping is no longer just for preppers; every family needs to be fully equipped to hunker down at home in case the unexpected happens.

• Do you have enough food to see you through months without a grocery store?
• Have you thought about what you'd do if you had no access to running water?
• Are you able to live comfortably in your home without power?

These are things you need to think about. Now's the time to ask, "What if...?"

Your home is the perfect place to shelter and keep your loved ones safe in case society were to collapse, but you need to know how to use it to its fullest if the luxuries we're used to are no longer available. Your home should always be your safe space--not just when the electricity's running.

In When Crisis Hits Suburbia: A Modern-Day Prepping Guide to Effectively Bug In and Protect Your Family Home in a Societal Collapse, you'll learn exactly what you need to know to prepare your home for an emergency. You'll find:

• The 6 key priorities of survival and how to make sure you have them covered
• A clear guide for knowing when it's time to stay in, and when it's time to evacuate
• Top prepper survival secrets so that you always stay one step ahead of the rest
• A toolbox of information that allows you to choose what works best for your family
• Practical tips for preparing your children for worst-case scenarios without frightening them
• How to make sure your water supply is 100% safe at all times
• Comprehensive checklists for everything you need to stock in your home
• Essential administrative tasks you should have sorted in advance before a disaster strikes

And much more.

You might have thought of filling your cupboards and checking the first aid kit, but have you really considered what would happen if you didn't have electricity?

The ideal home is not only the home that keeps you and your family safe in good times, but it's the home that keeps you safe no matter what.

Preparing your home to be just that doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require you to think outside of what you're used to.

When was the last time you asked yourself, "What if...?"

Did you know how to answer?
