I have had a few companies and have had them wow moments or ten second miracles all my life. I now have a small tree trimming company and I use the big picture appraoch to everything I do. I pull up to a job and see what the tree will look like when I am done then see where I need to make cuts to acomplish that and how many loads of limbs I have to take away. And how many guys I need for the job , then make out a bid. then I start figuring out how to make cuts where. My ten second moments where. When I had a huge limb hanging over a house and needed to drop it without it hittng the roof. The first one I thought I will get a winch and tie it to the bottom of the tree and hook the cable out on the end of the branch and chain the big end to the tree and swing it back away from the house and into the yard. It worked but wow It was an uncontrolable swing and I thought if that had gone the wrong way it might have hurt me. So I thought for a while and it came to me. I took the winch and had a ball hitch made for the truck and And hook the cable to the top of the tree and and chained 2 pulleys to the branch with the cable strung through them and pulled the slack up and put tension on the limb till it bowed back towards the truck and it worked perfect the limb slide down the cable to the ground with no crashes or any oh my god moments
