Almost every week I get an email with pictures of smiling Yellowstone Landscape Professionals attached to it...
A safety rodeo in Bradenton.
A team building event in Houston.
A golf outing in Atlanta.
Someone recently shared an interesting observation with me about our company LinkedIn and Instagram pages. She told me that, to her, it looks like all we do is celebrate, and she wanted to know if that was okay. She was worried that people might think we’re not a hard-working company.
I suppose that’s a fair concern, but the truth is there’s a lot to celebrate in our company right now.
Yes, summer is almost here, and summer is the hardest time of year for commercial landscaping companies. Our service crews are gearing up for long, hot days. In some areas, we’re dealing with drought, while in others we’re scheduling around daily rain showers.
But when you’ve been in the commercial landscaping business for a long time, it’s what’s to be expected.
We expect to grind it out all summer. It will be hard, but it will be worth it when we see the difference we make with each service visit.
If all we ever focused on was how hard this work is, we’d never have any fun. And for those of us who’ve chosen to be Landscape Professionals, our job is supposed to be fun.
So, through the summer, we’ll continue to find reasons to celebrate.
When a branch improves their Safety Score, we’ll celebrate.
When a new client signs on with us, we’ll celebrate.
When a long-time client renews their contract, we’ll celebrate.
When one of the properties we serve is recognized with an award, we’ll celebrate.
And sometimes, just making it to a Friday afternoon will be a good enough reason for us to celebrate.
