269: "You can't hide passion" & that Porsche Tycan colour you'll probably miss.

269: "You can't hide passion" & that Porsche Tycan colour you'll probably miss.
“You can’t hide passion” Enzo Ferrari knew. Ettore BUGATTI knew. Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars knew. They all started with the intent to produce the best. That starts with an obsession with the goal. Be the best. To be the best it takes relentless focus. Resilience to the ups and downs. I’ve recently found a small group of clients committed to owning one of the finest lawns in the UK. A small group of people who look forward to owning a piece of art, English garden art. A fine English lawn. I’m looking to find a few more. Why art? To grow the finest lawns in the UK it takes an understanding of art and science. I look at everything with an eye for detail that seeks out perfection. Growing the finest lawns is simple. But, simple if different to easy. So few do. If owning one of the finest lawns in the UK is something you might want to know more about, the first step, a small one is intent. DM me. I’ll share with you an new service I’m working on, The Green Letter club. The club opens on the first day of spring 2024. 100 members, never more. I’m seeking those that think different, but, and most importantly see value in owning something that is simply the best. And as I've said before, whilst growing grass might be simple, running a business that does it is not easy. So few do. Join me Phil Argent as I open up my mind and share some thoughts and insights into Growing All Gardening and anything else that comes to mind.

267: Peloton, and the 7 hours workout.
You may think that a guy who is growing a fine lawn business is fit (very), well the truth is I’m fitter than most, but not as fit as I could be…. This got me thinking about fitness habits and what options are out there. I also got to think about how they run their business model. When I started listening to a podcast called Acquired, I got an idea that would not only make me fit but also my lawn service Lawn Plan. It’s amazing what you can learn if you travel up and down the M1 as often as I do. My dyslexic and ADHD mind thrives on “sound bite learning” #SBL. I don’t read books, I’d go so far as saying I probably have read only a handful of books in the last 10 years, but listening to others talk about business, history, politics, and much more is how I do learn. I didn’t think Peloton was a business I should learn about, but learn I have and so much to focus on for Lawn Plan. Building a business can be fun, but you have to be super focused on getting so much right. And as I've said before, whilst growing grass might be simple, running a business that does it is not easy. So few do. Join me Phil Argent as I open up my mind and share some thoughts and insights into Growing All Gardening and anything else that comes to mind.

266: Why is All Gardening growing?
I wanted to book mark a significant change in thinking. For so many years the period from September to January has been hard, for my mind. I always thought it was a school thing, to do with my ADHD and Dyslexic ways, I'd run off looking for new things, or was it I was looking for a way out. Well 4 weeks ago, I was held onto, and given the chance to start doing the one thing I never thought I could do, which was focus on my lawn service Lawn Plan during a period when everyone said you can't get customers. I focused hard on finding a solution to the seasonality of my cash flow and business. And I started to think about how I go about pre-booking the 2024 season. Building a business can be fun, but you have to be super focused on getting so much right. And as I've said before, whilst growing grass might be simple, running a business that does it is not easy.

264: November 2023 - Thinking Time
264: Thinking Time: How one entrepreneur builds ideas into action. I've been thinking, that's how things start... But how do entrepreneurs build ideas into actions, this is something I've been studying as I go along Growing All Gardening. In my case, which is how I'm going to explore this, I'm going to share some insights into the dynamics and fragility of it all. I've always found ideas are delicate, but most recently I've also come to learn I have to have supreme confidence, but for that to work to my advantage it has to be balanced by a few other factors that move around in terms of their priority. Here's the full list of the 6 things that are part of my ADHD/dyslexic mind that I use to open an idea, explore it, and then make it become something of action. THE THINKING 6. The order of the list changes every day.... not many have the ability to do that, but an ADHD mind does. Today's THINKING 6 list and order: Confidence Focus Value Uncertainty Doubt Anxiety It's been a progressive day for Lawn Plan and Growing All Gardening.
