To Everyone Who Didnt Win The Jobber Grant
I jus got the email of the winners... I know I’m not the only one who was hoping to hear our name called. Being told you didn’t make the cut can definitely sting, especially when you’ve put your heart, time, and energy into building your business. But not being selected doesn’t mean your business isn’t worthy. It doesn’t erase the work you’ve already put in, the customers you’ve helped, or the dreams you’re chasing. Congratulations to the 9 who were selected you earned it. 👏 And to everyone who didn’t, keep going. Our story doesn’t end with one “no.” Sometimes the setback is just another chapter before the breakthrough. Keep building. Keep learning. Keep showing up. We may not have won the grant, but we’re not done winning. 💪🚀
What if your business is successful... but you still Hate running it?
A friend of mine owns a profitable laundry mat but hates going in every other week and just plain out dont like dealing with it. We talk a lot about growing revenue, getting more customers, hiring employees, and becoming “successful.” But what happens when you reach those goals and realize you don’t actually enjoy the business you built? Maybe the money is good, the customers are coming in, and the business is growing, but you're constantly stressed, working longer hours, or stuck doing things you never wanted to do. Question: 👉 Would you change the business model, sell the company, scale back, or keep pushing because the numbers look good?Hit my capacity ceiling as a solo operator — when did you know it was time to hire?
I'm at 99 clients running completely solo, working until midnight most days, and I recently had a hire fall through. I've realized my problem isn't marketing or sales anymore — it's that I've hit the ceiling of what one person can physically deliver. For those who've made the jump: how did you know it was actually time, and how did you find someone reliable in this industry? The hiring failure stung and I'm wary of trying again mid-season, but I also can't keep running at midnight-every-night pace.
