Dear Amy: I mow lawns as a side gig. Several months ago, my lawn mower quit working and one of the people I mow for (the “Smiths”) offered to let me use theirs.
I accepted their offer, and told them that as long as I used their lawn mower to mow other lawns, I wouldn’t charge them for mowing theirs. A few weeks ago, another client gave me their old lawn mower . It was a kind gesture that truly filled my heart with hope. Since then, I have not borrowed the Smith’s mower. I’ve told them that I have a good mower, now. They asked me to continue using theirs on their lawn, and I agreed.
With regards and much gratitude…” The more transparent and professionally you behave in this area of your business, the better it will be for you and your clients. If so, I predict that your business, like the crab grass in my own lawn, will continue to grow. Dear Amy: I was on an Alaskan cruise in September. On September 11 the ship made an announcement at about noon that we would have a minute of silence to commemorate 9/11. I was in the dining area.
