Phase 3 Preparation Tips for Jobber Grant Applicants
To everyone who may be advancing to Phase 3 of the Jobber Grants competition, congratulations on making it this far. The work you put in now can help your business long after this competition. Here are a few things I’d recommend focusing on: Review your full application and be ready to speak confidently about everything you submitted. Practice explaining your business in 30–60 seconds. Keep it simple, clear, and memorable. Know exactly how you would use the grant and the impact it would have on your business. Update your website, LinkedIn, and social media so your online presence reflects your business professionally. Refresh your business plan and make sure it reflects your latest progress and goals. Know your numbers—customers, revenue (if applicable), milestones, growth, and future goals. Practice answering questions out loud. Confidence comes from preparation and repetition. Be ready to explain what makes your business unique and why now is the right time for it. Organize your financial information and important business documents in case they’re needed. Create a simple one-page overview of your business that clearly explains your mission and vision. Gather testimonials, reviews, or customer feedback if you have them. Social proof adds credibility. Stay informed about your industry so you can confidently discuss current trends and opportunities. Build relationships with other founders. Networking often creates opportunities beyond this competition. Don’t memorize answers. Know your story well enough that your passion comes through naturally. Take care of yourself. Get enough rest, stay focused, and walk into every opportunity with confidence. Most importantly, act like you’ve already made it to Phase 3. Use this time to strengthen your business, improve your brand, and prepare for every opportunity ahead. Wishing everyone the best of luck. No matter who moves forward, keep building, keep learning, and keep believing in what you’re creating. Your next breakthrough could be closer than you think.
How Do Cleaning Companies with Large Teams Manage Invoicing Across Multiple Client Billing Systems?
Hi, Esteemed colleagues - I run a cleaning company with 20-30 team members working with our organization. I am trying hard to lift up and focus on growing & running business vs. allowing the business to run me (small business owner delimma). I am interested in hearing from those that have successfully rolled out an offshore admin to help to help with scheduling/invoicing etc. What company did you go with and why? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep invoicing organized? I work for a lot of General Contractors and most have their own invoice system. Therefore I don't use Quickbooks to bill; however, bill other clients through QB. Therefore, I have been struggling with using one source of truth and curious if anyone else has the same challenge and if they have found a solution? Appreciate any and all insight! Thank you, Alicia MinjarezHow Do Junk Removal Companies Price Jobs When They're Far From the Areas They Serve?
To all the junk removers/haulers in this community, I'd like to know how you go about pricing? I understand this is the most common question in the game, but it may help to clarify our specific business' situation. We are currently based about a 40-minute drive away from the area we actually serve. Upon researching and applying for hauler licenses, we have decided to serve our downtown area while merely being based in our less populated outskirt town. Because of this, gas is our highest business expense. We initially tried pricing our junk loads strictly by volume. Now we sort of eyeball it based on reference photos from clients because jobs often end up being bigger and cost of gas is especially kept in mind...not to mention disposal fees. If any of you have had this experience and managed to overcome it, let us know what you did!

If you’re feeling discouraged today, this is for you. There was a time when I was physically run over by a garbage truck. It could have become the chapter that defined my life, but I made the decision that it wouldn’t define my future. Instead, I kept fighting. I went back to school twice. I continued learning. I worked on myself, my skills, and my dreams—even on the days when progress felt invisible. Here’s something I’ve learned: Just because it feels like you’re falling behind doesn’t mean you’re losing. Sometimes you’re actually farther ahead than you realize because you’re building a foundation that no one else can see. Life is a lot like a rose. Before anyone admires its beauty, it must first grow through darkness, survive storms, and push past everything trying to destroy its roots. Along the way there will be doubt, criticism, setbacks, and people who tell you what you can’t do. Don’t let them decide your future. Keep working on your craft. Keep learning. Keep believing. Stay rooted in your purpose, and when the time is right, you’ll bloom into something beautiful. Never give up on yourself. You are stronger than your setbacks, greater than your failures, and your story isn’t over yet. Keep going. 🌹
