I have always enjoyed working outside. I like working in my yard so much that I started to help out the neighbors who didn't have a running lawn mower, or certain tools to meet their needs in the yard. One afternoon in October 2010 I was watching a neighbor across the street who was knee deep in leaves. I went to my garage and got out the blower, walked across the street and asked if they would like me to help. They were astonished that I offered and said yes! While they continued to work at packing bags full of leaves I was happy to blow the leaves into piles. It cut their work time by hours. I noticed that my wife was watching me and smiled. She knew I was having a good time she was happy that I was helping our neighbors. When I got back into the house she came to me and said, "You know, I think you should start your own business." She went on to tell me she could see how happy it made me and that I was good at it so why not start a small business.
