    Started with 0$ on my account after startup costs, only had a kärcher k3 pr.washer, some buckets, some low quality rags etc.
    From yesterday the bussiness 1y old..hitting 210k in revenue .
    But..if youthink it's easy ..well I've been doing even nights in the garage, full 7/7 non stop..and not only doing jobs.
    Whatever you do, always realise you're an entrepeneur in the first place, so many things you can learn and sharpen your skills.
    It's hard work.
    This last week my Kärcher gave in and I bought a fully customised Kranzle pressure washer, a new polisher...and a new tv since my relaxingtime is also important 😅
    My first presents from my bussiness since I started and seriously proud of it 😊

    Hello James,
    You are a very impressive young man. You are smart, articulate, and have learned quickly the virtues and responsibilities of entrepreneurship. I wish I would have had a mentor like you when I started out 45 years ago. In my career and profession, if there is one thing I’ve learned, it is not to allow failure to overshadow success. You appear to have learned to accept your failures by celebrating and punctuating your successes. You have an amazingly bright future ahead of you. I wish you well and continued success. I’m glad @PanTheOrganizer gave you the “air time” and publicity on his channel.
    BTW, you’re home base is where I grew up. While I currently live in metropolitan Atlanta, I grew up in Downey near Lakewood Blvd and Gardendale St.
    Kind Regards,
    David Ortega

    Yo I'm mad late to this vid, but your so 100% on the top 5, and one more point to remember is , worker for yourself or an company providing the service your the pro, don't let the customer tell you how to do your job, not saying anything against constructive criticism or tips, but as the one getting paid and doing the work to an standard, you say what's done and how's it done.

      I’m in Texas too, those are the wrong customers for the long run. keep your prices competitive with others and let your work show what you can do. Once you prove your worth, you can go up slowly on prices. This will weed out the customers and bring the ones you want

    I’ve been detailing for just about two years I don’t have a transit van I have a Honda odyssey! I have more + better stuff in my mini van than 80% of these detailers who were raped at h2no with those custom builds. My van does not have a tank and I’ve never had an issue detailing lambos and Ferraris without water and power….
