If you want to make more money, you can simply offer more services because you widen your audience of customers. You can get more customers if you offer five services instead of two. Or take it even further and you can offer 20 services instead of five.

If you have another van running for your business, then you can book in more customers and make more money.

At least that's the common thought when it comes to growing your business. Adding a second or third mobile unit can grow your business, but it can also silently hurt your business if you're not careful.

In this episode, I talk about what you need to look out for to make a second mobile unit make sense.

⚡️Software we use to run our detailing business (free 14-day trial plus get a special discount): https://go.getjobber.com/detailgroove

If I gave you $100,000 to start your detailing business, what would you do? You'd probably have a lot of ideas you'd want to implement.

But the problem is, when you think you have more than enough money to do what you want, you start to make a lot of purchases that you simply don't need and the money dries up sooner than you anticipated.

In this episode, I'm going to share a conversation that I had with someone who wants to quit their job to start their business and they'll have $100,000 to get started with.

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 09:00:00 -0600

I've been growing my detailing business for the last 10 years and I've had my fair share of negative comments from other people (and even detailers). If you don't have the right mindset, you can easily be discouraged to grow your business or raise your rates.

In this episode, I'm going to share how I handle negative feedback like when people call me a scam, hack, or that I'm ripping people off. This is important to understand because sooner or later, you'll get a negative comment about what you're doing in your business.

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 09:00:00 -0600

The goal of this episode is to shift your mindset on what you think you need in order to be successful with your business.
