They got good income, but greater flexibility.</p><p>They like the outdoors and physicality of it all - ‘saves you going to the gym’ as Don says.&nbsp;</p><p>Don and Sue like to work together - sharing the load.

  <p>Garth had come from a very busy 9-5 career mainly in the hospitality and food industries. He grew closer to retirement age and decided to do something completely different - own a lawn mowing business. He said it is one of the best decisions he’s made in a long time. Not only has it given him more time for the family, it gives him more space to manage his day and call the shots in his own successful business.&nbsp;</p>
