1 in every 3 requests for help from those in need across the USA were taken care of last year with free lawn services via non-profit org: I Want To Mow Your Lawn, Inc. Looking to improve that lead to conversion time this year with expanded coverage and an expected lift in requests!

Am looking to my network for individuals or organizations to volunteer their time auditing for inefficiencies. Burnout is real. Been a lot of work day after day the last couple of years and can use a fresh set of eyes.

Please reach out regarding interest so I can share all the tools and systems in place. Ideas are nice… but really looking for hands-on help implementing actual process improvements.
