True Wind speed and direction, is the actual speed and directional flow of the wind as it passes over land or the surface of the sea.
Apparent Wind speed and direction is the wind you ‘feel’ on you as you sail. apparent wind is a false read, it will not get you where you want to go.
the True Wind speed and direction, will determine sea state, allow you to plot your course, arrive at your destination, and make your voyage successful.
Running a Lawn or Landscape business has a lot of similarities to blue water sailing…
…Think about the following expressions commonly used in everyday business life just to name a few:
To run a tight ship, all hands on deck, to be at the helm, to chart one’s course, to show someone the ropes, to lose one’s bearing, to go with the flow, to swim against the tide, to make a headway, to change tack, to barge in, to be in the doldrums, to stay on an even keel, to sail close to the wind…
During a sailing voyage, you can’t control which way the wind blows, which direction it will shift next, or what the underlying current is doing.
But you have to consider these factors—the boats that best anticipate changing conditions are those that come out ahead.
What better metaphor for business?
Those who have navigated the business waters can intuitively sense when conditions are about to change, can anticipate changes and plan for them effectively. New business owners are still too busy handling the boat to recognize these changes, and stay on the wrong tack when conditions have turned against them.

You “The Boss” will have a “sounding board”, someone you can talk to, bounce ideas and plans off of or share your dreams.

“Being a part of the Leaders’ Peer Group has proved invaluable to me and my company. The sharing of information, knowledge, and experiences in everything, ranging from marketing strategies and retaining employees to compliance matters and financial advice have aided me in Majestic’s growth and health. Fred Haskett and my peer group have become my “go to” people and my sounding boards. In a stressful, fast paced industry such as ours, it’s comforting to have such a great group to share with and lean on.”
– Joe Holland
“I was skeptical to join the Leaders’ Peer Group at first. My business partner was in a larger landscape group and encouraged me to give it a chance. Making the decision to join the group was one of the best things I could have done for myself and my company. We are close group of like-minded people that help steer each other towards continually success. Fred does a great job facilitating the group and provides us with some great resources that saves us time and money.”
– Richie Thurman
“Few things give both a good return of your time and money. My involvement in a peer group has done both. I've had the opportunity to bounce ideas, share struggles, and celebrate success of both myself and with others in a noncompetitive, supportive, challenging and enjoyable atmosphere”.
