Starting a Grave Care Business: Your Personal Declaration of Independence!

Starting your own business is your own, personal Declaration of Independence.

Good morning! Today is Sunday July 3, 2022. We are in the middle of the July 4 weekend.

Do you ever think about the founders of our nation? Do you ever think about what they must have felt as they drafted our Declaration of Independence? It must have been an exciting time for them; a scary time.

The easy choice for them would have been to maintain their status quo. It would have been much simpler to remain under British rule. However, they wanted a better life for themselves, a better future for their families.

If you think about it, starting a business allows you to have a better life for yourself and a better future for your family. Yes, starting your own business is scary, but it is also exciting

Starting your own business is your personal Declaration of Independence.

If you are motivated to start your own business, we can help.

Our passion is cemeteries and our goal is to help you start your own Grave Care Business (properly, profitably, and respectfully).

Please read through our website. We have a lot to offer.
The full business course is only $259.95.

Sunday Encouragement – You Can Do This!

Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to get started.

Have you ever wondered about the philosophical differences between giving up too early vs. never trying at all?

Is a person who gives up too early better than a person who never tries at all? Or, is the outcome the same? How often have you looked back on your life and regretted the times you never tried? How often have you looked back on your life and regretted the times you gave up too early? For you, which of those two regrets is worse?

Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to get started. Other times, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to keep going.

This is true in all aspects of your life. It’s true in your personal life (your relationships). It is true in your work, your hobbies, and your academic pursuits. However, sometimes it is difficult to find the motivation to get started. It is also sometimes difficult to find the motivation to keep going.

The reason I’m writing this today is because it is a Sunday at the end of June. Summer days make us lazy because we just want to lounge around and enjoy summer activities.

If you have ever thought about starting your own small business, I want to give you the motivation, the encouragement to get started. Yes, it is easy to be lazy during the summer but, NOW is the time to take action.

This website is all about cemetery maintenance and proper upkeep of cemeteries and gravesites. If you have ever thought about this, I want to encourage you. I want to give you motivation. You can do this!

We are passionate about cemeteries. We are also passionate about helping people achieve their goal of starting their own business. Read through our website, we have a lot to offer.

Grave Care Business – Autumn 2021

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, our company has developed a professionally produced business course to help you start, operate, and grow your own business.

Autumn Cemetery Grave Care

November is here and Grave Care is especially vital right now.

Does it seem to you that we have been dealing with this Covid nightmare for far too long? The world changed in March 2020. We are now in November 2021 and things are still askew.

As we approach the winter months, no one really knows if the Covid pandemic will re-strengthen causing increased shutdowns again this winter..

If you enjoy visiting cemeteries in your local area, you have probably noticed an increase in the number of under-maintained and neglected cemeteries. One of the reasons for this is that maintenance companies are having trouble finding reliable workers for general grave care duties.

Although this is bad for cemeteries, it is good for anyone wishing to start their own Grave Care Business. Right now is a perfect time to start. Pre-winter maintenance, plot maintenance, grave flowers for Christmas, gravestone cleaning, and many other services are in demand right now.

We find there is an untapped demand. Families are desperate to have their loved-ones’ gravesites maintained in a professional manner.

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, our company has developed a professionally produced business course. This course is designed to help you start, operate, and grow your own Grave Care Business.

Grave Care Entrepreneurs are Straining at their Slips

This morning, one of my Facebook friends posted the following quote:

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

Straining upon the start.

The game’s afoot;

Follow your spirit:…

The original context of the Shakespearean reference was a message to soldiers preparing for battle. But, this morning I was thinking of it in terms of entrepreneurs who are “straining upon the start” to become business owners.

As I write this, it is early on a cold crisp February morning. The world is still sleepy but soon the sun will rise and everyone will come to life. Likewise, the year is still early. We made it past January and the year is beginning to come to life.

The year is still new. Maybe your New Year’s Resolutions have begun to fade. However, if you are an entrepreneur who thinks about starting your own business, I want to give you encouragement to start RIGHT NOW.

January passed by in a flash. If you let it, February will pass by just as quickly. And then March…and then April…and then May. Don’t let the whole year pass you by. Seize it right now!

If you have ever thought about starting your own business and if you have a love of cemeteries, a Grave Care Business is a wonderfully rewarding business to start.

By starting a Grave Care Business, you can choose your own hours, perform your work in beautiful surroundings, and operate a profitable and fulfilling business.

We have developed a professionally produced business course designed to help you Start & Operate your own Grave Care Business. To learn more about the course and order it, visit our main webpage: https://GraveCareBusiness.com

I love the line “straining at the start.” I think most entrepreneurs can relate. We’re all straining like greyhounds in our slips…barely able to contain our excitement. I understand it. I’ve been there. I’m excited to help you get started.

Let me know if I can help or answer any questions. – Keith

Grave Care Business – July 2017

Grave Care Business owners should understand the power of increasing their businesses and building their client lists during July.

July is a pivotal month for Grave Care Business owners. It’s important for you to understand the power of July in starting and/or expanding your business.

2017 is flying by. Six months are down and there are another six months to go before the end of the year. While the first day of July is a milestone (halfway through the year), the importance of July comes from the fact that your efforts this month will guide your business for the rest of the year.

Grave care maintenance is in full swing right now. Grave site maintenance (mowing & landscaping), floral placements, and gravestone cleaning are in big demand right now. However, the end of summer is right around the corner. Then autumn will follow closely behind. I have always found that efforts I make in July to develop my client list for end-of-summer services have a big and positive effect in the coming months. However, I’ve found that if I delay until August, it’s difficult to build the same excitement in a customer base than if I started in July.

I do not know why this seems to be true. However, it’s something I first noticed many years ago when I was studying marketing and human psychology in school. I theorize that by mid-July, people are beginning to tire of summer. However, they don’t realize it yet…it’s subliminal.

Why is this important for Grave Care Business owners? This is an easy answer. End-of-summer grave care and Autumn grave care is very important for this business. There is a lot of money to be made during this time and this is a great time to increase your client base.

The take-away is this: the efforts you make in July will have very positive effects for your business in the coming months and for the rest of the year. “Don’t delay. Start today.”

The Grave Care Business package is packed with information to help you start and expand your business. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Cemeteries Face Budget Pressures – Good News For Grave Care Business Owners

All cemeteries are under constant budgetary issues. Starting a Grave Care Business is a win-win solution.

Shrubs need to be trimmed, grass needs to be mowed, and general plot maintenance needs to be undertaken. Cemeteries, ALL CEMETERIES, require constant upkeep. Likewise, ALL CEMETERIES face budgetary issues.

Cemeteries – low on money

While researching a cemetery in Dayton, Tennessee, I found a newspaper article with pleas from the Perpetual Care Organization (PCO). This cemetery is in dire need of funds. To continue upkeep of their cemetery, the PCO is requesting $40 annually from every family who has members interred there. The newspaper article does not mention the number of different families. However, Find-A-Grave lists over 3,000 burials. Multiply a percentage of this number by $40 and you can see for yourself there is a lot money in cemetery maintenance.

I have been a firm believer, for almost 2 decades, that the answer to this problem lies with private Grave Care Business owners. Grave care business owners take care of plot maintenance, mowing, floral decoration placement (and removal), tombstone cleaning, basic upkeep, cemetery mapping, and many other services. Business owners contact family members with lists of services and they bill those families on an “as-needed” or on a “contractual” basis.

Make money offering Grave Care Services

An independent grave care business owner alleviates the pressure on cemetery management. By shifting a portion of the workload to the business owner, cemetery management resources are freed up to take care of the larger maintenance items.

Families are relieved too. When hiring a Grave Care Business, family members can cater and request services based on their needs and desires. The work is performed to their standards. They get personalized care for their loved-one’s grave site. They are willing to pay good money for these services.

Grave Care – A Rewarding Small Business

Grave care is a rewarding business. It’s beneficial to cemetery management. It’s beneficial to families who want the best of care for their loved-one’s grave site. And, it’s beneficial to the business owner who makes good money providing these services.

You can start and operate your own grave care business with our professionally produced Grave Care Business Course. Learn more about our course by clicking the link below:

Personal Goals Advance Your Business Goals

This blog post is longer than my normal post. Read it through to fully see its importance. I convey the idea that personal goal setting has broad and positive implications in your life. Work toward your goals with positive enthusiastic energy. You will be rewarded.

Choose Your Goals Carefully

Personal goals advance your business goals. I’d like to share a perfect example of the way a seemingly unrelated personal goal will greatly advance your business goals.

In January, I outlined my goals for this year. I wrote a blog post briefly discussing the idea of goal setting at the beginning of a new year. I am a strong believer in making goals. WITHOUT A GOAL YOU CANNOT SCORE.

I am a strong believer in writing goals down on paper.
I am a strong believer in writing the reasons behind the goals.
I am a strong believer in plotting courses to achieve the goals.

Writing goals down on paper establishes a physical connection to your goals. The physical act of holding a pen in your hand and writing a goal on paper causes a physical investment on your part. Have you heard the term “you must have skin in the game”? Writing your goals on paper is the first part of having “skin in the game.” The goal is not just a passing thought if you make the effort to write it down.

Second; writing down a REASON for the goal helps you establish a “bigger picture” of the goal. For example; if your goal is to start your own business, you might write down that you want to start your own business to have more money for retirement. The idea of more money for retirement supports your efforts of starting your own business.

Third; plotting a course gives you a direction to travel in attaining your goals. You cannot begin a journey without having an initial course. Likewise, you cannot start a business without an initial business plan or business model. Yes, your course will change and you will make adjustments along the journey but you MUST have a course to travel before you start.

As I shared in an earlier blog posting, my goals for this year included:

1) Do a better job researching and exploring cemeteries.
2) Learn about the culture of cemetery care in every cemetery I visit.
3) Improve my ability to travel so I can visit cemeteries in a wide range of geographic locations.

Anyone who reads this blog and keeps up with my Cemetery Exploration channel on YouTube knows that I love being on the water. As you might have seen in some of my Cemetery Exploration Videos, I use my abilities of sailing, power boating, and kayaking to visit hard to reach cemeteries and cemeteries in foreign lands.

When I developed my goals for this year, I tried to develop a method by which I could increase my skills on the water and put those skills to use in my cemetery research. I did this through education. In the first quarter of this year, I completed a 56 hour licensing course on becoming a ship’s captain. Now, I will admit that a 56 hour course, by itself, does not give me the ability to captain a large vessel. However, having my Captain’s License improves my knowledge and increases my ability to travel on such vessels.

I’m happy to announce that I passed all my exams and I am currently awaiting final paperwork for my Captain’s License.

Here’s the beautiful part:

a friend of a friend who knows I have earned my Captain’s License needs help moving a large sailing vessel from Key West, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina next week. Because of the Captain’s License I earned this year, I have been invited to work as crew during this trip.

Now, how does this relate to cemetery research? Well, Key West, Florida and Charleston, South Carolina have amazing cemeteries. The cemetery in Key West has hundreds of fantastic tombstones and I will be able to study the care that is given to them under the harsh south Florida sunshine. The innumerable cemeteries of Charleston require special care of their own. Those cemeteries are packed into nooks and crannies of Charleston’s small church yards.

This opportunity of sailing from Key West, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina and having the ability to visit the cemeteries in each of those towns would not have presented itself if I hadn’t been active in advancing my education of driving boats.

The Law of Intended Consequences

When I wrote down my goal to “improve my ability to travel so I can visit cemeteries in a wide range of geographic locations” I looked for a skill that I already possessed (sailing) and thought about how I could use that skill to increase my ability to visit cemeteries. I had no idea earning my Captain’s License would pay such quick dividends. I could not have envisioned that improving a skill I already possessed would allow me to study cemeteries in two fantastic towns within one month of completing the Captain’s License exams. However, I knew that working hard to earn a Captain’s License would present unimagined opportunities. I believe the Universe works that way….I believe when you work hard and put your energy into work that you love, you are rewarded with unforeseen opportunities.

So, I’ll ask YOU:

What are your goals for this year?

Just because it’s not January anymore does not mean your goals are at a Dead End.
