2025 Best Year Ever
With this year ending in a new year beginning, we should be starting to think about planning for the upcoming year. What are some of your tools you use for planning for the year to come and also daily planning. Do you have any cool tricks that you use to help you in setting goals, and breaking down, goals into smaller action items, and taking those action items and making them happen. Please share your tips, tricks and or traps things that have worked and have not worked.Franchising Your Home Service Company
Playing in the 'major leagues' is not as hard you might think. Have you ever wondered how national brands grow & dominate their spaces? Franchising your home service company is a tremendous way to limit risk, add new revenue, grow with other people's money, give employees a REAL track of growth to dominate your space. I started using jobber in 2013 for my window cleaning company. I franchised it in 2020 and sold 13 locations in Ut, Az, Kansas & the midwest. (Now they all use Jobber) I'm obsessed with helping others do the same. Did you know that Home Service Franchises are the #1 most sought after franchise concept? It's true. I used to make fun of Fish Window Cleaning & other brands because their services were "sub-par" in my eyes. However - I realized, that just doesn't matter because the franchisor (Fish Corporate) has 350 locations & makes tens of millions, so who's really laughing? If you've ever thought about franchising your business this is the discussion for you!GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Share What You Know. Learn From Someone New. (The $100 Coffee Card? Just a Bonus)

The year isn't quite over yet, but it's time to start evaluating what went right (and wrong) in 2024, so we make 2025 our best year yet! My biggest win for this year was surpassing my personal and professional financial goals, after a weaker-than-anticipated Q1. The road to get there truly wasn't easy but I'm glad I didn't lower my expectations when things started off tough and adversity continued to show up. It was a big reminder to me that we are all a little tougher than we give ourselves credit for being. What went well for you this year?Work/Life Balance. What does that look like?
I searched the forums and didn't find a good conversation regarding the work/life balance topic (link if you know of one). I found a great topic started by bedellmgmt a while ago about how he had to let go of his hobbies and the pursuit to get some back. How do you maintain a healthy balance in your life beyond work? Do you dive headfirst into your business and try to connect with family whenever you can? If this sounds familiar, how does your family feel about it—do they understand and support you? And perhaps the more profound question is this: Do you believe your company thrives because it takes priority, or do you think its success comes from achieving that work-life harmony? Many of us grapple with these dilemmas. I’ve experienced both sides myself. For me, one of my most important values has always been to provide for my family. Over 20 years ago, that meant putting in long hours—sometimes up to 100 a week—to achieve success. Unfortunately, it also meant missing out on precious moments with my kids, family, and friends. While I built a business that supports us financially, I often found myself thinking, "Why doesn't anyone seem to recognize the effort I'm putting in?" This focus on work led to some tensions at home because I was so absorbed in my career. They wanted me, and I was confused because I thought that was what I was giving them. Have you ever experienced that? And if you did, how did you overcome it?Time for Hobbies!
When I started my business, I made the choice to give up some of the hobbies I enjoyed to make more time for my business to flourish. I've most recently started to pursue those forgotten hobbies - and it's reminded me of what a journey life can be! Going forward, I am going to make more of an effort to pursue my passions outside of work, hoping to create a little more balance in life. What about you? How are you making time for hobbies in 2025 (and beyond)?October Giveaway: Post, Connect, and Win!
