Part-time executive ownership still requires work and a moderate time investment once it's up and running. Many part-time executive owners think of these as side hustle businesses, used to generate semi-passive income. The key to executing this business model is hiring a Sales and Ops Manager to run the day-to-day aspects of the business. You will Manage the Manager and will also serve as the face of the business in your community, maintaining a visible presence at community events that draw your key client base. While your manager will hire installers to handle windowbox installs and quarterly plantings, and assist with that work as necessary. This business strategy is usually a long-term play to build a more expansive empire., item_19_highlights=$4,501,272 top line revenue is based off of 3 corporate territories in the Cincinnati market.
