I agree. This is great information. Too many people want to take shortcuts, which do not pay off in the end.

Great question! There are many ways to study both business and leadership. One way is to go to school for it. Another is to read books or listen to audiobooks on each. We have a list at treebusiness.com/recommended-books-1 We also have several videos on various subjects on this channel, and we are continually adding more. There is a bunch of free information on the TreeBusiness.com website. And there are courses there as well. And we are working on adding more. These are great resources, but the list is not exhaustive. Keep pushing forward.

You certainly have that choice. But it is always better to have a realistic idea of what venturing into another realm looks like.

Thank you. There is plenty more coming, and the content will improve.

Very possibly so, but it isn't simply about charging more for the same service. If you can provide greater value, you can demand higher rates.

@@thetreebusiness I fail to see how getting certified will increase the value of taking down a tree for a customer. I wouldn’t pay a plumber 50% more just because he had a degree.

@@small-town-southern-man3573 the video does a great job of explaining this. Did you watch the video?

Awesome!

Different tasks are divided up, but ultimately our general manager oversees the whole thing. You can structure it however you like.

Your best resource to start with is still going to be the Arborists' Certification Study Guide, the ANSI Z133, the ANSI A300, and the accompanying Best Management Practices. There are plenty more resources available, many of which are on the website www.TreeBusiness.com under Recommended Books: treebusiness.com/recommended-books-1 There are several other great business and arboriculture books on that list.

Get an arborist certification…bro trust me…it will pay off…climbing and being certified is all I have to separate me from your everyday tree guy and I’m able to take any job regardless of what is required. So man the ISA has courses they put on through their website,that is directly what will be on the test.its like 500 bucks for every course and its an interactive self paced deal…

@@ginotrees711 Arborist Certification is definitely worth it.

@@thetreebusiness thank you. I will check out your website. Thanks again for the great videos.

@@ginotrees711 thanks for the comment. When you say arborist certficfication, you mean for a certain category? I have to go see what is available.

As long as it is professional and ethical.

It says in the video. This was not a real injury, but the crew did not know that. They treated it as if it was a real aerial rescue and real situation.

The rescuing crew was a ways away. From where they were, they could not see the victim very well, but if they did, they would see movement, which made it appear more realistic.

Thank you.

Best of luck. Don't be surprised when you get pushback. Just remind everyone that their regular pay is not affected. This is a bonus for doing things right. It won't take long for people to figure out how to earn extra money and do things right. Some people will never get it though.

thank you

Thank you! Glad you got something out of it.

We can do that. There will be more as we move along and dive into greater detail. Please be patient and continue watching. Thanks for the feedback.

@@nate4684 thank you. It definitely opens a lot of doors.

😁

@Drewdrewdrewdr that's fair. I still think there is some solid content here, but this is mostly describing the "Roadmap for Growth" Course.

@@protreeservicetally yes, absolutely. Everything goes on payroll.

@@thetreebusiness thanks. This might be an easier way. I was thinking about implementing paid for performance which would based off a percentage of each job.

@@protreeservicetally that is not a bad way to do it. We chose this method because it was easy to keep up with. One of the problems with paying for profitability is that it may encourage speed, which could create an unsafe environment or lack detail. We want safety to be #1 and customer satisfaction to be #2, so we do not ever want those compromised.

Implementing this performance pay this Tuesday. Just one question on the double time pay. We have a hurricane heading our way. Will the double time be from when the storm hits? Or is the double time on there OT pay?

@@protreeservicetally you can do it any way that works for you. The way we do it is that emergency jobs are paid double time, 2X the normal wage. This is not on top of overtime or anything else. If you can afford to pay double time on top of overtime, then by all means, go for it. But it does add up very quickly.

@@StevenMathers thank you for the comment.

@@LiberteEgaliteFraternite1 thank you for the feedback.

@@LiberteEgaliteFraternite1 absolutely!

The cost of certification is NOT tens of thousands of dollars. The Study Guide is not required, but it is highly recommended. It is not very expensive at only $98.95 for members or $139.95 for non-members. The application to prove eligibility to take the exam is free. The exam fee is $170 for ISA members or $280 for non-ISA-members. ISA membership is not required, but it is only $135. If you elect to take the computer-based exam, there is an additional fee of $125. You could buy the material and take the exam for around $400. And it will open doors to projects you have previously not had access to. There is no scheme. The video will explain many of the benefits of becoming Certified.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Definitely need equipment.

There probably are some, but none that we are aware of at the moment. We will be covering some of that in later videos. We have a lot of business and leadership material we are planning to cover first. Stay tuned.

Thank you. Let's do it again very soon.

Thank you.
