I've only caught about half of this thread, so this might have already been mentioned, but have you thought about doing this as a pseudo franchise operation?

This is a great idea, check out 'Jim's Mowing' here in Australia, its a franchise of Mowing/Gutter Cleaning/Landscaping etc. Started as 1 part-time business, now there is nearly 4000 franchises in the Group (branched out to many industries; Cleaning, Fencing, Plumbing etc).

Today's Execution:

First of all, a shoutout to @jpanarra who's been the biggest help! Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

It's been good as far as business goes for the past couple of days. I'm just at my wits end or at least that's how I feel at the moment.

My mother's close relatives (cousins) the four out of her family residing in Mississippi, experienced a tragedy.

A CO2 leak killed the mother and father during their sleep and damaged the little sister, the brother came home to that scene and found a neighbor and attempted to save them. My mother and I are also becoming increasingly distant, for the majority of my life she has raised me as a single parent and imparted a Christian value set onto me. I've recently rejected it in it's entirety and she and I stayed up all night arguing about it.

And I don't want to seem like a selfish cunt, I want to comfort her but I would feel less of a man if I told her that I still believed.

But I woke up today, excited, still going. Thank you all so much for the support.

<3
Have a lovely day Fastlaners.

Cheers!

Fastlane Brothers!

Your support honest to God means more to me than anything.

I've got 11 weekly cuts that crank out 400 a week in profits, I am also attending a community college for a associates in Business Admin and Computer Science.

The mindset switch I've had over the past year is just outlandish and beautiful.

Always moving ahead and I thank you all.

More to come.

Cheers- G​

F*ck SEO

After focusing for too long on building social media bullshit for my business

I watered my bloodshot eyes and behold a heavenly angel came down in the name of PPC

Within two days I gained 3 more customers

For anyone that reads this that needs a little bootstrap startup.

Fall approaches, a lot of old people need their gutters cleaned.

Hell everyone needs them cleaned!

I'm averaging a couple hundred a day, I won't slow it down though

Too much fun!

Cheers- G

How are things, now?!

Moved out of my house, tried college for a semester, not doing it again.

Have a well paying full-time job with perfect hours for working on my Fastlane, winter is here so I'm re-orienting my business for services that will blend with the weather.

Raking leaves, pressure washing, cleaning gutters...

When winter legit arrives, shoveling snow, or maybe even get a truck with a plow and reach out to HOAs and offer your services to plow their developments. Spend the day driving and making cash.

Yup. I have a friend who mows in the summer and plows snow in the winter. He's always excited to see "white gold falling from the sky"!
