Im New to jobber but i made the cut for the 2 round of the grant!!!
As the title says, I made it to the second stage of the grant process. I’m excited for the opportunity and hopeful about making it through to the final round. To get to this point, I focused on building a clear vision for what I want to achieve and then developed a detailed business plan to support it. I took the time to work through future opportunities and challenges, equipment costs, hiring needs, startup expenses, overhead, working capital, and the different directions the business could take. My goal was to fully understand the potential of the business and create a solid foundation for growth. It took a lot of time and effort, but I believe the process has given me greater clarity and a stronger competitive edge. Overall, it has absolutely been worth it.What Does a Real Win Look Like When You're Running a Home Service Business?

How do you stay motivated as an entrepreneur when facing constant rejection?
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to my fellow entrepreneurs. I am a serial entrepreneur with multiple businesses, but I have a strong passion for serving in real estate and traditional home-related services. People often contact me for down payment assistance, closing cost help, home improvements, foreclosure prevention, rental assistance, debt relief, or support for first-time homebuyers. I connect people with the resources they need to maintain and sustain homeownership, promote housing stability, and ensure safe housing. Recently, I decided to form a nonprofit with my amazing team because I’ve mostly been referring people to resources, but I want to become a direct resource myself. If you’re a new entrepreneur or a seasoned one like me, you know that starting or working on something often involves a lot of rejection. Today, I’m just reaching out to see how everyone stays motivated. My motivation has always been my community and service. I want to hear from my fellow entrepreneurs: how do you stay motivated? I’d love to hear different perspectives in the comments.

What Has Been Your Biggest Entrepreneurship Challenge in the Home Service Industry?
As the founder of MoveTime 4U Enterprise LLC, my journey into entrepreneurship started long before I launched my business. Growing up, I moved from shelter to shelter with seven siblings while being raised by a hard working single mother. Later, I became a single mother my self and faced the challenge of building a business with limited resources while supporting my family One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced has been establishing credibility and growing a customer base in a competitive industry. balancing parenthood, finances, marketing, and daily operations hasn’t been easy , but persistence and community support have helped me continue moving forward. Recently, MoveTime 4U had the opportunity to assist two fellow single mothers, Talaysia Guzman and Tamiko Batson , with their moves, which reminded me why I started this business ( to help people during important transitions in life. ) I’d love to hear from other entrepreneurs in the jibber community!
