For Ex-Marine, Front Lawn is the New Battlefield

He served his country. Now he’s fighting a different battle — building a business that’s taking over his life. Jacob is a Marine veteran, husband, and father with another child on the way. He started a landscaping company to support his family — but instead of freedom, he’s drowning in work. Working late nights. Answering every call. Chasing every lead. The truth? He didn’t build a business — he built a job. And he’s not alone. There are over 33 million small businesses in the United States — making up nearly half the private workforce.
