    Plant Money Trees By Making SYSTEMS

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    This is a great post. I'm a massive believer in systems, and can recommend a good book I read many years ago called Work the System by Sam Carpenter. This post has also reminded me that the reason I've become a bit stuck lately is because everyday I sit down to do outreach to bring in more...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Finally got around to reading The Practicing Mind this weekend. Here's a particular interesting quote from it. "Most of us find that we are very good at practicing properly during recreational activities. We perform these activities with all our attention in the present and on what we are...

    Starting a carpet cleaning business

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Correct. Great point. We not only have automations going out for our clients to try and re-engage leads who don't convert, but also the ones that have booked a job. For example 10-12 months after a job we'll send an automated text to see if they need it doing again. The customer knows you've...

    Starting a carpet cleaning business

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Facebook ads certainly works for carpet cleaning. Although more residential than commercial. I've personally generated thousands of pounds (and dollars) worth of work and still do for lots of carpet cleaners in UK and USA. You're absolutely correct in that on Facebook they're not "actively"...

    Creating a referral system for a commercial service business

    MARKETING 
    I help a lot of cleaning businesses get more referrals using automation. My app automatically invites them to leave a review after the job, then invites them to recommend them to their friends on Facebook by simply clicking a link and it will post something like this image below. (can be...

    How to get a killer deal in front of local area businesses?

    MARKETING 
    2 months free only becomes compelling if the person has a "need' for your services and deems the problem your solution solves more painful by remaining where they are rather than using you. What is it exactly you're offering to local businesses?

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Social media DM's are when you approach people/businesses on Facebook or Instagram, even linkedin and send them a message offering your services. For this I use Flowchat (here's a link: fwc.li/af974bp) but you can do it manually. Tax wise, you could look into starting your company in another...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    I've tried this in the past, as Sean said above it can be difficult to actually get someone to complete a survey. Put yourself in their shoes, if somebody approached you and asked you to complete a survey how inclined would you be to do it? I'm having a lot of success talking/signing clients...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    No. I'd be happy to go there for holidays but not to live. Reason being that Spain is within the same timezone as UK (1 hour ahead usually) so things like Football can be watched at the same without having to wake up in the middle of night. It's a 2 hour flight from UK (flights can be cheap)...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    No unfortunately not. Still working on growing my saas. The children are at the wrong ages to move (12 and 14) and now England is no longer in the EU means it’s very hard to get a visa. You can get a golden visa but you need to buy a property without mortgage for at least 500.000 euros. There...
