    GOLD! HOT! 
    Still crushing despite the shutdowns. I highly encourage any newbies or anyone in a slow period right now to take advantage of home owners needing services. People are still spending money, trust me. They NEED your help, and you need theirs. Checks upon checks still coming in. Here's some...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I always get on the roof if I can, which is around 90% of the time. Sometimes there's just no way, or it's too steep. This makes it go much quicker. Moving the ladder around and getting into weird angles is what takes the longest amount of time. Also, you need to factor in the cleanup. The...

    Start a home services business. With hustle and work ethic like you have, you can easily replace your 50k/year job income within a month or two. I'm talking EASILY. Cleaning rain gutters and washing windows doesn't require a genius no, but it will give you experience in customer service...

    After attempting and failing to do exactly what you're doing last year, and dealing with exact same scenario from clients, I highly suggest moving on if you haven't already. It's always gonna be in the back of your mind. Personally, I realized this business isn't for me, because I absolutely...

    Booked a job from a neighbor yelling at me while on a roof today. Got his number and set him in the calendar. He saw me spraying his neighbors rain gutters, and told me he needed me to do his too. Guy had 3 BMW's parked in the drive way, he obviously didn't care about price. Literally...

    Here's an idea: Instead of reading about it, and getting to "know the market better," why don't you call up 10 potential clients or customers in your proposed target market, and talk to them about it? This combines taking action with research. Doing things like this will get you used to...

    The exact same thing happened to me man. My roommate and others were spewing about how we need to get guns, and crazy shit like that, for about 3 days now. I also checked the news a few times, and heard other people freak out. I ended up sending some pretty sad depressing messages to my...

    The Power of LinkedIn Outreach?

    MARKETING
