Life in the Fastlane

The thing that drives us here at Dawson Manufacturing. We all see a dream of a standalone Dawson Manufacuring facility and wages at the facility that we won't want to lose. Most of all its working with the BEST team in the industry. One day Nick will be in his dream Lamborghini and Kyle and Sam will be out of their boats with the money they worked for at Dawson Manufacturing working day in and day...

Some of the best lessons are learned from failure. Society has learned unfortunately from school that if you fail you can't succeed. But the best lessons are actually learned from failure. Take Elon Musk for example, Paypal isn't what it is today without failure. He had to constantly change and evolve it to get better, same with Tesla and SpaceX. Read Issac Waltersons book on Elon and see how many...

Kyle working at Dawson MFG took a 4-year relationship with not only Nick, but Craig, Sam, Justin and the rest of the team at Dawson MFG. Relationships are truly sacred. Being able to have someone you can call on to help not only in your personally life but business life is truly astonishing. Sometimes these relationships take time to form, but once formed can create some amazing results. Our exper...

This has been a long time coming of how we can out do the MulchMate DS1000. Well, here is the reveal of what we have been working on. The DS2000. The ability for a larger capacity, lighter trailer that will have smart capabilities in the future to track all of your load when it comes to your company. We are here to help you run your business more efficient and better. Wanna know your yard per man...

One of the reason's Nick loves golf and racing. They are very much solo sports, golf more than racing. When you are driving it's all you in the race. When you are in the pit you have a team. When you are golfing, no one can handle your swing but you. No one controls your put but you. No one chips the ball but you. No one scores but you. When it comes to life, change start from looking in the mirro...

One thing Nick has been saying a lot lately is "I want my inner circle to surround me with Rolex's". To have a Rolex means one of two things about your character which is easy to spot. One you like to showboat, or two you work your ass off and this is your trophy. We choose to surround ourselves with the later. A rising tide raises all ships and that is where Dawson MFG is heading. We are grabbing...

A lot of smaller companies ask well how can I afford a machine when we only produce $500k in revenue. Well here is where you can. The machine not only helps you in what you currently do it helps you in what you can do. Sure your current annual revenue is $500k but machine will free up white space in your calendar to do more work. With the help of proper marketing techniques you can go from a $500k...

We announce our Yeti giveaway winner from speaking to landscapers down at Chesapeake Landscape Material yard in Pasadena MD. Nick and Kyle talk about the demo they did with Metro Grounds and some of the things they could have done differently to improve for the next demo.    Check out our products at: www.mulchmateusa.com Check us out on YouTube: Mulch Mate Dawson MFG - YouTube Check out our Insta...

Nick and Kyle discuss credentials within hiring, who a person is and how to handle disagreements. No real right way but credentials go a long way when talking to certain people. A lawyer and doctor can have certain credentials compared to a business owner, but the execution of perfection can make the difference in the individual. You can be a doctor but not have a great practice and the businessma...

We just finished our Dawson Demo the recent weekend. One of our customers without the DMT is able to do $100k a month without the MulchMate. MulchMate projects his numbers to shoot to $250,000 per month with 2 team members and this is all while working for 4-5 months a year in Texas! That is just NUTS, yes you read all of that right. See how the DMT MM combo can benefit you!    Check out our produ...

Kick back and relax with Nick and Kyle today. Demo Day went off well with lots of lessons learned and excited for the next one in January. Equip is the next big event where you can see our newest equipment. October 16th, 17th, and 18th at the Kentucky Exposition Center. It's the LARGEST event in the green industry and we want to see you. We have some secrets up our sleeves that we can't wait to sh...

Many companies are hiring on the basis of DEI, (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). In the sense of standards, they tend to be lowered for a hiring sake versus the merit of the individual. MEI (Merit, Equity and Intelligence) is the basis of hiring on these standards to best further how a company can grow and be better in the long haul. Check out the conversation!    RSVP to Demo Day:  @mulchmateusa...

Nick and Kyle take a small trip to Belmont Trailers for a DMT pickup and to swap out some upgraded control boxes for our customers. Dawson MFG is currently undergoing renovations with carpet, paint and tile in the office areas and everyone is in a tailspin. Events like this really pull a team together to work harder and make sure everything gets done when up against such a tight deadline because o...

Nick and Kyle sit down to discuss the numbers of what MulchMate costs a company to not buy. We used very recent data from a company that produces roughly $45 million dollars a year in revenue. The numbers we recorded for just the spring season in saving was $150,000, but what many people don't understand is that the machine increase your productivity roughly 3x allowing a company to collapse a 3-m...

Dawson Manufacturing is hosting its second demonstration day at Dawson Manufacturing Global Headquarters. 899 Airport Park Road Glen Burnie MD 21061 Suite E (Back Lot).  We will have free food, and prizes at the event. You will be able to try all out our products and machines at the event and ask all the questions your heart desires. RSVP here! @mulchmateusa | Linktree     Check out our products a...

What is the difference between cost and price? Well price is the numerical value of the product or service. Its what you pay for on the invoice. You may ask, " What is cost then"? Well cost is the value the product or service can provide you. Imagine having a machine that allows you to rake in money. Do you want to rake in $1000.00 or $3000.00. Well I know we would rather have the latter and the M...

We all go about life with it happening to use versus us happening to life. Well, what do we mean about that? Kyle took sometime this summer to spend more time with his daughter and wife. While doing that he had a friend take over the mowing section of his business and didn't notice how much it was costing him till last second.  Now it didn't get out of hand it was something that was recoverable. B...

Sayings exist for a reason. You are the sum of the 5 people you are around the most. That could be your net worth, yourself worth, your personality, all of it and more. We are social being and in order to become a part of the click of people you need to blend in or offer something to better yourself and those around you. A great book to read on this is Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and...

Whether its accepting you are wrong to a coworker, or doing something you really don't want to do within a company, or even working longer hours than expected. No matter what you do for a living, you will eventually have to eat some crap, as an employee or employer. Facing it and getting better is truly a test to oneself to get better and provide the best for them, their family and the workplace....

Nick and Kyle dive into a little blue-collar work. We don't know everything one statistic we do know is that for every 5 blue-collar workers 2 are taking their place and it is going to cause some problems but leaves a gap in for people to make a great living for themselves. There are some extremes that we all see is that those who work in the trades don't make good money, but if you apply yourself...

Nick and Kyle have had a full week of work this week. The 27th annual SIMA show in Pittsburg has kicked off. Kyle, Justin, and Gavin took care of the booth before being kicked out. We took up the MulchMate, our SnowMates and KartMates for display. Nick has an Audi update as he has to take the transmission out again because the reverse "fork" is messed up, but man is it wicked sounding! Life is goi...

Today everyone falls victim to their pain. With pain comes a lesson to become a better person, strengthen relationships, mend past issues and more. It is very hard sometimes in the moment to see a clear path but if you learn the discipline to attack the problems head on then you not only become a better person but you learn a valuable lesson. Remember life is like a beach youll get a big wave ever...

A lesson Nick taught Kyle a few years ago when it came to running a business is that honesty is the best policy. When Kyle spoke to Nick about a project and the issues he was running into, Nick called out the BS. Honesty has since turned into a lifestyle for not only Nick but Kyle. The ability to tell a client what is going on like a vender not having the stone in the store in time, or machinery b...

Life as an entrepreneur is like living at the beach. Some days will be nice, some days it will be nice with some larger waves. Some days you will encounter a small storm, and some days you will encounter hurricanes. It is not a matter of what happens to you, its a matter of how you handle it. We will always be dealt bad cards, the struggle is not falling victim to the situation and allowing it to...

Do you go around letting your bosses or senior colleagues know that it "Must be nice" to be in their position? If you do, we suggest you take a step back and look at the extra time that individual put in to get into that position. Not a lot of people see the late nights because they are with their family doing something. Those who put the time in are in those positions for a reason. Listen to Walt...
