Occasionally, I will have days or weeks I just want to give up. I'm 9 years in. I have had a lot of ups and downs. I have learned hard lessons. I have experienced big wins and losses. And every once in a while I feel defeated. I try everything to grow and make my business better and then I find myself taking steps backwards and feeling exhausted over the thoughts of having to build something again. This could be team members leaving that I invested in, money I saved that I now have to spend on repairs, or unexpected losses, and the list goes on. We all have those days we feel like we just don't have what it takes to actually make it. What do you do? How do you keep moving forward? Share some hopeful stories. Share the worst stories and how you overcame. I don't want to hear how you just win all the time. Tell me the stuff that made you sleepless, the stuff that made you cry, and that stuff that you thought you just couldn't rise from. I need some encouragement that even when I think the worst is happening I can still overcome and keep moving forward and win!What Podcasts Are You Hooked On Right Now?
Let’s be honest—when you’re driving between jobs, grinding away solo, or just trying to unwind after a long day, podcasts are clutch. I’ve been on the hunt for something new lately, and figured I’d throw it out there—what podcasts are you listening to that actually fire you up, teach you something, or just help you zone out and reset? Could be trades-related, mindset, money, business, or even total random entertainment. I don’t care if it’s about tools or true crime—if it’s good, drop it. Always looking to stack the playlist.

Share your stories here
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.
