Chasing high profits as your number one goal satisfies your ego's need to prove that you could do it, and do it on your own.
But, it's the systems, key people, and overhead needed to create a legitimate business that will keep you in the game for the long haul. Pursuing the wrong things in the wrong order can put you out of business in a heartbeat, or at the very least have you chasing your tail and wasting years without improving your business.
Having made the mistake of chasing growth without being systemized, Derek has recently taken a step back, reduced the size of his company, and placed the focus on running a much tighter ship. It's a multi-year journey but one that is essential to your business and personal survival.
Join this online seminar to gain a high-level view of the key systems, protocols, and strategies needed to operate a successful landscape business.

OL080: Plant Choices: Nativar, Exotic, Invasive. Working toward Environmentally
Let’s play a game. Where in the world do the plants you choose for gardens come from?
One garden, two gardens, three gardens full of exotic species… What are the impacts of our plant choices? One impact - horticulture is a primary source for the introduction of invasive plant species. How do we avoid these costly mistakes? Quite simply, we can encourage the use of more site-appropriate native species to create gardens with a unique Ontario flare, a unique “Sense of Place.”
There are growing opportunities for the eco-conscious landscaper to become a leader, advocate and innovator and to capitalize on the growing interest in gardens that support healthy ecosystems.
Let’s get inspired and explore how we can meet the challenge of developing beautiful, environmentally sustainable, spaces that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
