  • Grind it out my friend! Don't give up! Once you get yourself going you will feel so amazing. If you have identified that there is a need for your services in your area, you will succeed. Explore all options, get creative, get some cards to hand out. 

  • Starting with little money is hard, but many successful businesses begin exactly that way. Focus on serving a clear local need, use free community channels, and stay consistent — momentum builds faster than you expect when you keep showing up.

  • Create an email about your services and include Photos, Information of what you offer and a reason to give you a call.    I seriously recommend using AI to help you learn how to advertise using social media, local websites, landlords who need clean out business and local contractors who need dump services.  Start Small!  Grow Large! You Got This.

      Great advice — starting small and staying focused really does make a difference. I followed a similar approach by keeping messaging simple and clear around what I offer, which helped people understand when to reach out.

    Social media is going to be key for you, my brother no matter how far if you have a truck in the trailer go make the trips. Find you a local dump. Get a relationship built and you’re off to the races.

  • Congrats on trying to make your dream come true! Try letting your close network know what you are trying to do and ask them to refer you if anyone needs this type of service.  Also, seak out some smaller renovation companies and see if you can strike up a partnership.  Do door knockers.
