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.When pressure hits, who do you become?
Met with PBD today on our monthly call for Energize Us Edu. These were the lines that he shared with me about our current state: “Watch your language—the world will gives it to you back.” “Overwhelmed? The man upstairs says: give him more, he can handle it, or give him less” “You need the BEST people to handle pressure. Find the pulse on your team, their pain threshold, remove negative or “real talk” mentality, focussed on negative aspects calling it real talk.” Gods listening: Don’t ask for more if you fold when it shows up. I wanted to share this with you all. What do you think ?

You start out doing the work. You stay busy. You make decent money. But then what? You feel like you’re building something just because your phone keeps ringing. But if you’re not learning AND applying, I feel as if you’re wasting time. I was watching all the videos, reading all the books… but nothing was actually changing because I wasn’t acting on it. I’m saying this because I’ve lived it. And I know there are other guys out there right now doing good work, but they’re not leading. Not building. Just staying busy. How do you all handle these feelings? All the IG post hit , motivate then Im just stuck scrolling. What helped you take action?

Am I overthinking?? Whenever I feel stuck, or entering a new phase of my business, either uncertainties or a new challenge, these are the exact questions I ask myself: - Am I happy with where my business/life is right now? - What’s actually working: financially, operationally, personally? - What’s not working: stress, cash flow, structure, balance? - And the big one: If I keep doing what I’m doing… - Will I get the results I want? How about you guys ?
