Got the first paying yes
A neighbor paid for the lawn work instead of it being a favor.
L1▸ StepOurs
Wrote down exactly how it felt to get paid
Fifteen minutes alone with the honest version, not the version for other people.
- Why it matters
- Money that arrives because you asked for it feels different from money that arrives because you were owed it. That difference is the whole point of this phase.
L1▸ StepOurs
Reinvested half of it into better equipment
A second mower blade and a decent pair of gloves, bought with the job's own money.
- Cost
- $18
- Evidence
- A receipt, kept.
L1▸ StepOurs
Started a real monthly income and expense sheet
Not the scrap-paper version from before — one sheet, every job, every cost, reviewed on purpose.

L1◆ MilestoneOurs
Set a real number for next season
Not a hope — a number, written down, that next season's tracking sheet gets checked against.
- Goal

L1▸ StepOurs
Set up one simple place to track what comes in
A single sheet. Every job, every dollar, the date. Building toward something is worth measuring, not just guarding what's left.
