    I Just Sold My First Business. Case Study + What To Do Next?

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I would say its not normal for this type of business, because its usually a 1-man show running the whole thing. I would say it was unique, as most businesses in this space don't get beyond 1 person.

    Is Outbound Sales Dead - I Need Help!

    CHAT RANT QUESTION 
    The #1 key to selling is having a world-class product that you believe in. Everything else comes easy after that. As an example: let us say that you were approaching random people, and selling $100 for only a cost of $10. Forget about whether this is realistic or not. When you approached...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't have kids yet, but certainly plan on doing so when I am on more stable footing. I've heard having a child described by some very successful people as "the best thing I've ever done, and it's not even close" Biologically speaking, everything we do, we do to have kids. We are animals...

    I Just Sold My First Business. Case Study + What To Do Next?

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    No specific demographic. There's a ton of younger people, but also lots of older people doing this type of business. One thing that is for certain is that it's a highly fragmented industry: there's a ton of little 1-man shows, and not many bigger operations.

    I Just Sold My First Business. Case Study + What To Do Next?

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thanks! I've spent the last couple weeks thinking about next steps, and I've decided that's exactly what I'll be doing next; buying up bigger companies, while also on the lookout for smaller companies to roll up. The first business didn't exactly crush it, but the skills learned were valuable...

    I Just Sold My First Business. Case Study + What To Do Next?

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the kind words all. As far as no-money down acquisitions go: In general, businesses under $1m a year in revenue are not very valuable, doubly so for businesses under $500k a year. Typically they are just 1-man shops. A 1-person business has no equity value; no one wants to purchase...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey guys, I just wrapped up a 4 year process of starting and running a residential window cleaning company. A quick overview of how it all went: A friend of a friend introduced me to @GravyBoat, who introduced me to window/gutter cleaning. I quit my job and went for it. I started the business...

    MARKETPLACE 
    I came to @LightHouse at the beginning of 2023 with 2 main challenges; I had a lot of negative self-talk that prevented me from taking action, and I had a tough time determining what to focus on to move my business forward. Working with Chris has given me two very important things: an ability...

    Trash Bin Cleaning Business

    IDEA 
    Yes, I know someone in St Louis thats doing it. He has a successful window cleaning biz, and decided to build a trash can cleaning route on top of it. It started slow for him, but he eventually got a spot on TV on the local news, and the business exploded

    Trash Bin Cleaning Business

    IDEA 
    Trash can cleaning is a great business. It's recurring, and the operations are simple. You can certainly start with just a pressure washer, but getting an actual truck with a trash can cleaning machine makes it an amazing business. Youre able to clean way more trash cans, for better prices...
