I want to hear your stories - why’d you start your business? What goals were/are you aiming for? What have you achieved? What’s been the hardest part so far? I’m 27 and have been running my cleaning company for 3 years now. I started because I always knew I wanted more out of life - I just didn’t know how I’d get there. I tried a million jobs, launched a bunch of failed businesses… nothing stuck. I sorta stumbled into cleaning when my girlfriend (who is now my wife) worked for a cleaning company that had her buying her own supplies, driving her own car, and carrying her own insurance. At the time, I was climbing cell towers for $20/hr, risking my life and we were still broke. That’s when it clicked: if I could just get her some of her own clients, we could cut out the middleman. That was the beginning. I’ve always been good at branding, sales, customer service, and backend ops - so we went 50/50 and started our own company. It’s been a wild ride, but now we’ve hired a team, and opened multiple locations. There’s nothing in my life I’m more proud of than the way me and her have pulled through every bit of it, built a company from absolutely nothing, and came out on the other side stronger than ever.10Views1like1CommentHow to sell my business
Hello all, I would like some advise on where to start if I want to sell my business. I live in Phoenix AZ, and about 8 months ago I started managing my parents cleaning business. They own a commercial and residential cleaning company that currently has about 400 clients combined and about 60 employees. I was asked to come work in the family business so I can help straighten it up and bring it to its highest potential so it can be sold for what it is worth. After 8 months of hard work it has come a long way and we are ready to start looking into selling it. I know this is a long process and would like to start getting informed on how to get it ready and where to start. Thank you,Jorge_newimage5 days agoContributor 329Views0likes3CommentsAre there other Locksmiths using Jobber?

Met with PBD today on our monthly call for Energize Us Edu. These were the lines that he shared with me about our current state: “Watch your language—the world will gives it to you back.” “Overwhelmed? The man upstairs says: give him more, he can handle it, or give him less” “You need the BEST people to handle pressure. Find the pulse on your team, their pain threshold, remove negative or “real talk” mentality, focussed on negative aspects calling it real talk.” Gods listening: Don’t ask for more if you fold when it shows up. I wanted to share this with you all. What do you think ?EnergizeUs8 days agoContributor 516Views0likes0CommentsHSC Exclusive Giveaway: Introduce Yourself, Fill out our Form, and Get a Sticker Pack

You start out doing the work. You stay busy. You make decent money. But then what? You feel like you’re building something just because your phone keeps ringing. But if you’re not learning AND applying, I feel as if you’re wasting time. I was watching all the videos, reading all the books… but nothing was actually changing because I wasn’t acting on it. I’m saying this because I’ve lived it. And I know there are other guys out there right now doing good work, but they’re not leading. Not building. Just staying busy. How do you all handle these feelings? All the IG post hit , motivate then Im just stuck scrolling. What helped you take action?EnergizeUs17 days agoContributor 516Views0likes0CommentsWhat advice would you give to someone feeling discouraged or doubtful about their entrepreneurial journey?
