Starting From Scratch at 26
INTROBe careful. If you are in medicine, you are very well suited for businesses with high scale and entry. You are the software engineer equivalent, except of fixing code, you fix people; and you can create medicine too, which scales. 21 yo, started entrepereneurship at 18yo during my second year...- MRiabov

Are ads worth it in a small window cleaning company? (contract deal average 40-50eur?)
MARKETINGYes, exactly, the houses are tiny - it takes 20 minutes to clean the average house in Ireland, 8 windows, 40€. Which makes me question the entire business. It takes too much advertising effort to break even. They say in US you can sell 1000$/day with this; my best day in Ireland was 360€ day...- MRiabov

Scaling an exterior cleaning business
EXECUTIONUpd Dec 4: made 475eur revenue. Paid an employee 180 eur. Shouldn't have, actually, I did half of the jobs myself/with him. My pay structure: 30% of revenue goes to whoever executed the job, 30% of revenue goes to whoever sold the job, 20% goes to me because I buy gear and manage them, 20% goes...- MRiabov

Scaling an exterior cleaning business

HBF – Home Building Factory from plantation timber [Progress thread]
SCALING EXECUTION FEEDBACKAdd Ireland here. Due to incredible rains, in Ireland "it growth wherever you spit". Stable legal system, and a housing crisis - and it's bad. SOOOO many people live in shared houses, despite hating it. In addition, houses are traditionally all suburbs, which is easy to build with your...- MRiabov

Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business
GOLD!

Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business
GOLD! HOT!@Johnny boy, I want to give an idea. If you CAC is 167$ as you said, you could drive it down that by doing door-to-door sales. Here's the math: It takes me roughly 30 minutes to find a client for cleaning windows, and 25 minutes to clean. A worker gets some 25$/hour. At the end of cleaning they...- MRiabov

One step to become more logical
MINDSETBe careful though: you won't always know what you need to solve a problem. In technology, in particular. I've tried building a few AI products - ground-up AI, the kind of products nobody did before, and after 7 months of thinking "yeah, I'll just push through it", it didn't work. Not a damn...- MRiabov

F*ck My College
MINDSET SLOWLANEI thought so too during my bachelor's in business. What you've missed here is that they teach you engineering very-very well in colleges.

Raising Pre-Revenue Angel Cash Is A PITA
HOT! MARKETING@piano why would you try raising funds for a window cleaning business? I've hired employees in the past for window cleaning too, and it needs very little upfront investment. Especially if you are doing it in the summertime - yes, the employee I've hired was 16, and we didn't sign a contract. In...- MRiabov

Contracts with B2C clients
SIDE HUSTLE TAXES | REGSSup FL, I've recently restarted window cleaning, as a way to pay bills. So good so far, making double of minimum wage. Just need to not work on rainy days. Now, I'm going door-to-door in two regions, spending ~30 minutes looking for a client and ~25 minutes in job. You can see the pattern -...- MRiabov
