Hi all,
I messed up two years ago. Lost a lot of my young families money being stupid. Will never forgive myself for it.
All I think about is business every spare minute is spent planning my course to freedom! I started one a few years ago while working full time in oil and gas. Didn't fully commit, it failed. Learnt plenty from it though.
Full time work ends late next year. I'm hanging around for a redundancy. I hate working for the man. I feel like I have so much to offer. I have been studying marketing for a while now. I want to put my knowledge to the test. My father owns a carpet cleaning business, he is ready to retire due to health reasons. Owner operator for 30 years. I want to prove it can be scaled. He believes there is no business model that works. My worries- carpet cleaning is a commodity. I want to use his busines as my first case study.
I believe there is a market for automating, scaling and implementing marketing systems to business owners who are about to retire and sell (typically boomers in the service industry). Either buying cheap and implementing change then selling or charging for a service prior to a sale to increase revenue and market appeal.
I have been playing around with GoHighLevel. It seems like a game changer to me.
Constant thoughts - Do I know enough to charge people for the service? Will I be able to test the market while still working full time in preparation for loss of job?
I consume self help and content about business. I love it. I take no action but am I just preparing myself for the big leap? I feel like no one close to me actually believes I can build a solid business after losing their trust earlier in life.
Felt like I needed to let this out. Apologies for the long intro!
