Mike gets the best one be can with his credit, $10K 50" cut 10mph max speed. Joe gets the best his credit can, (doest spend any of the 100K in his bank) gets a $30K 80" cut 25mph beast of a mower. > > They both cut grass the same way, the job isnt hard. They both start off in the same town, with the same type of customers and land. > > Mike doesnt stand a chance. All things being equal, your correct, as you often are. Mike just has to work harder and do better… Weather that mean be nicer, be cleaner, market more etc. Chances are you can always “outwork” the competition if you choose, in many different ways. We all know life isnt fair, some will have to work harder. Thats what we call life, and reality, and i know you know that, just stating the obvious. Working harder and smarter can even the playing field. If mike cant reach the level of success he desires, Mike should choose something else, or add a service Joe doesnt offer. Never accept 2nd if 2nd isnt good enough for you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/everyone-enjoying-their-tax-hikes/265914)._
