1
00:00:00.211 --> 00:00:02.533
I want to talk about where this channel is going.
2
00:00:02.994 --> 00:00:12.123
Over the past year or two, I've seen a few comments and heard some feedback that basically comes down to this idea that maybe I've forgotten about the smaller business owner.
3
00:00:12.644 --> 00:00:16.728
The person that's just getting started, or the guy who's just trying to get his first few customers.
4
00:00:17.188 --> 00:00:18.730
And I understand where that's coming from.
5
00:00:18.910 --> 00:00:34.208
If you watched a lot of my recent content, I'm talking a lot more about management, leadership, multiple locations, managers, systems, recruiting, and building companies that can keep operating without the owner being involved in every single decision.
6
00:00:34.408 --> 00:00:53.296
That content is different from the videos I made years ago when I was talking a lot more about starting from scratch, getting your first few mowing customers, knocking on doors, pricing your first jobs, buying your first mower and your first weed whacker and blower, surviving your first season, and just trying to figure out how to get the business off the ground.
7
00:00:53.836 --> 00:00:59.839
So I understand why someone would look at the channel today and say, this feels like it's for bigger businesses now.
8
00:01:00.459 --> 00:01:01.800
Now, there is some truth in that.
9
00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:08.082
Over the past 12 to 24 months, I've intentionally made more content for seven-figure business owners.
10
00:01:08.742 --> 00:01:18.046
I've made more content for the person who already has crews, office staff, managers, trucks, payroll, a bunch of overhead, complexities already in the business.
11
00:01:18.326 --> 00:01:23.928
That person is dealing with a different set of problems than someone who is trying to get their first 50 customers.
12
00:01:24.488 --> 00:01:27.970
But that does not mean I've forgotten about the person at the beginning.
13
00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:33.776
I've made around 5,000 videos on YouTube between my main channel and Home Service Millionaire.
14
00:01:34.256 --> 00:01:44.868
And the majority of those videos were made for the person who is still early, the person trying to get through their first season, the person trying to make their first $1,000, their first $10,000, their first $100,000 in the industry.
15
00:01:48.212 --> 00:01:58.341
The person that's still confused, they're undercapitalized, they don't have a lot of cash, they're unsure, and they're still trying to figure out if they can really make this whole business thing work for them and their family.
16
00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:00.443
That person has never left my mind.
17
00:02:00.823 --> 00:02:05.767
When I first started making content, I really was talking to the 18-year-old version of myself.
18
00:02:06.568 --> 00:02:16.694
I was talking to the kid who didn't come from a wealthy family, didn't have investors, didn't have business connections, didn't have some fancy degree, and didn't have a room full of people telling him exactly what to do.
19
00:02:17.374 --> 00:02:24.939
I was talking to the version of me who wanted to work, wanted to win, wanted to build something, but I didn't know the playbook.
20
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.362
I was dropping out of school and the thing that I was comfortable with to start a lawn care business.
21
00:02:30.802 --> 00:02:34.465
That was when I was 18 years old, dropped out of university to start Augusta Lawn Care.
22
00:02:35.106 --> 00:02:39.289
And this is still the person that I think about most when I turn on the camera.
23
00:02:39.730 --> 00:02:44.354
And when I'm talking to this black sheet of glass, that's who I envision on the other side.
24
00:02:44.814 --> 00:02:49.638
The only thing that has changed is now that I'm talking to a slightly different version of myself.
25
00:02:49.938 --> 00:02:51.600
Because that was the 18-year-old version of myself.
26
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.164
Dropping out of medical school and trying to figure out, okay, I'm going to do this full time.
27
00:02:56.924 --> 00:02:58.486
Can I start Augusta Lawn Care?
28
00:02:58.986 --> 00:03:10.278
But now I'm also starting to talk more to the 20 year old version of me who had started to grow and then got caught underneath the dump truck and realized that the business I had built was still way too dependent on me.
29
00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:14.043
At that point, I had revenue, but I didn't really have a company.
30
00:03:14.363 --> 00:03:20.390
I had a bunch of work, but I didn't have any infrastructure and I had a bunch of customers, but I didn't have any systems.
31
00:03:20.910 --> 00:03:29.156
I had hired people, some mostly at the beginning, my friends, and I had employees, but I didn't have enough leadership, my skills or other managers.
32
00:03:29.616 --> 00:03:38.322
And when I was physically out and not able to be there because of the injury by getting underneath the dump truck, the weaknesses in the business became obvious very fast.
33
00:03:38.863 --> 00:03:50.051
So when I talk about leadership, management systems, building websites, having software, recruiting, having multiple locations, I'm still talking to that 20 year old version of myself.
34
00:03:50.691 --> 00:03:57.656
I'm talking that version that had gotten almost a million dollars in annual revenue, but it's still not yet built something durable.
35
00:03:58.276 --> 00:04:00.098
That is why this channel has evolved.
36
00:04:00.911 --> 00:04:02.492
And a lot of you have evolved too.
37
00:04:03.032 --> 00:04:06.314
Some of you started watching my videos like five or 10 years ago.
38
00:04:06.475 --> 00:04:12.038
That's when I started making condo over 10 years ago when you were just mowing lawns by yourself, plugged in with your headphones.
39
00:04:12.318 --> 00:04:22.505
But now you have crews, you have office staff, you have managers, you have payroll, and you have more customers, more revenue, more stress, and a lot bigger decisions inside of the business.
40
00:04:23.125 --> 00:04:27.307
The problems changed because the businesses that you all have built have grown.
41
00:04:27.787 --> 00:04:36.891
And if I kept making only beginner content forever, I would actually be failing the people who grew up with the channel and have been watching for five or ten years.
42
00:04:37.551 --> 00:04:44.995
At the same time, if I only talk to the seven-figure business owner, then I'm missing one of the main reasons I started making content in the first place.
43
00:04:45.555 --> 00:04:47.176
So where's this channel going?
44
00:04:47.876 --> 00:05:01.985
The answer to that is that this channel is really built to show the whole path, starting with nothing, getting your first customers, building your first routes, hiring your first employees, learning how to price correctly, creating systems, but then also developing leaders.
45
00:05:02.645 --> 00:05:08.729
opening multiple locations that run without your daily presence and without having to hire unicorns to run the business without you.
46
00:05:09.189 --> 00:05:15.773
And eventually building a business that gives you freedom, wealth, and the ability to serve other people at a higher level.
47
00:05:16.234 --> 00:05:17.094
That's the full journey.
48
00:05:17.615 --> 00:05:20.016
That is what I want Home Service Millionaire to become.
49
00:05:20.576 --> 00:05:22.478
And the mission behind it is very simple.
50
00:05:23.138 --> 00:05:25.759
I want to help home service business owners get rich.
51
00:05:26.239 --> 00:05:29.741
There are a lot of people in America who don't have a great starting point.
52
00:05:30.141 --> 00:05:40.326
They don't have a rich uncle, they don't have someone to lend them a million dollars, they don't have a lot of venture capital, private equity trying to give them money to get started, they don't have someone that's handing them a perfect opportunity.
53
00:05:41.006 --> 00:05:42.567
But they can get a mower.
54
00:05:42.908 --> 00:05:44.049
They can knock on doors.
55
00:05:44.069 --> 00:05:49.533
They can go buy a weed whacker or a blower like I did when I was 11 years old for under $1,000 from Lowe's.
56
00:05:49.874 --> 00:05:54.938
And yes, that mower broke down like five times in the first couple of years, but we got started in knocking on doors.
57
00:05:54.978 --> 00:06:00.803
And you can just take those simple ingredients and start answering the phone, start showing up on time,
58
00:06:01.303 --> 00:06:05.567
you can learn how to price jobs and learn how to sell and learn how to hire and lead other people.
59
00:06:05.907 --> 00:06:10.931
And these individuals that are just getting started, they can learn how business works by doing business in the real world.
60
00:06:11.492 --> 00:06:14.134
And that is really why I love home services.
61
00:06:14.774 --> 00:06:17.417
And for me, that specifically started with lawn care.
62
00:06:17.957 --> 00:06:22.501
Lawn care gave me a way to learn business when I didn't have a lot of other advantages.
63
00:06:22.981 --> 00:06:29.567
It taught me about sales, operations, pricing, customer service, hiring, leadership, marketing.
64
00:06:29.787 --> 00:06:36.753
having one-on-one meetings, cashflow, route density, delegation, and ultimately the discipline required to grow a business.
65
00:06:37.253 --> 00:06:38.875
It gave me the reps that I needed.
66
00:06:39.275 --> 00:06:53.327
And a lot of people look down on home services because the work is physical, because there's a lot of competition, because it doesn't sound so glamorous or because it doesn't have the same status symbol as software or finance or legal or, or healthcare or real estate.
67
00:06:53.747 --> 00:06:54.408
I see it differently.
68
00:06:55.008 --> 00:06:59.632
I think one of the best business educations in America is starting a home service business.
69
00:06:59.692 --> 00:07:06.378
You can learn very quickly whether people will pay you for your service because the demand is there, like people need our services.
70
00:07:06.798 --> 00:07:08.760
You learn very quickly if your pricing is wrong.
71
00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.204
You can learn very quickly if your employees are not trained.
72
00:07:12.505 --> 00:07:16.550
You learn very quickly if your cash flow and your whole business model is broken.
73
00:07:16.890 --> 00:07:21.116
You learn very quickly if you're disorganized and you can fix those things and learn and grow.
74
00:07:21.636 --> 00:07:23.919
The market gives you feedback every single day.
75
00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:29.506
That is a gift that if you are willing to learn from it, can do wonders for you and for your life.
76
00:07:29.607 --> 00:07:37.737
This is also connected to the mission of Augusta Lawn Care because from the beginning, the mission has always been to change the level of professionalism in the landscape industry.
77
00:07:38.217 --> 00:07:42.262
That matters because the industry has historically had a really bad reputation.
78
00:07:42.803 --> 00:07:58.697
Customers have been trained to expect contractors not to answer their phone, not to show up, not to communicate, not to send professional estimates, not to use software or systems, and not to operate like real companies that they interact with throughout their day, otherwise outside of lawn care.
79
00:07:59.218 --> 00:08:00.079
And I want to change that.
80
00:08:00.619 --> 00:08:03.640
I want the person mowing lawns to be viewed as a professional.
81
00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:07.361
I want the landscape business owner to build wealth and legacy.
82
00:08:07.621 --> 00:08:11.622
I want the technician to have a real career path inside of the company.
83
00:08:12.202 --> 00:08:14.342
I want the customer to experience better service.
84
00:08:14.922 --> 00:08:21.304
I want the owner to stop thinking that chaos is just part of the business and just a feature and not a bug of the industry.
85
00:08:22.084 --> 00:08:26.746
That mission starts with the person just getting started, but it does not end there.
86
00:08:27.227 --> 00:08:29.668
It starts with getting your first customers and doing great work.
87
00:08:30.068 --> 00:08:38.572
Then it becomes learning how to price properly, hire better, train people, create systems, build leaders, and create a company that can actually last.
88
00:08:38.692 --> 00:08:40.553
That is why I talk to both audiences.
89
00:08:40.933 --> 00:08:42.734
The beginner needs hope and a playbook.
90
00:08:43.274 --> 00:08:45.976
The growing owner needs systems and leadership.
91
00:08:46.516 --> 00:08:50.038
The mature business needs infrastructure and strategic clarity.
92
00:08:50.738 --> 00:08:52.859
All those people are on the same path.
93
00:08:53.219 --> 00:08:55.020
They're just at different stages.
94
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.163
And I've also built my business, my whole business model would be software or the franchise or the media around this belief.
95
00:09:01.683 --> 00:09:05.605
There are products and services that we sell to businesses that can afford them.
96
00:09:06.205 --> 00:09:08.426
Home service web design is $500 a month.
97
00:09:08.886 --> 00:09:11.547
Homeworks is around 300 to $500 a month also.
98
00:09:12.047 --> 00:09:15.209
Joining the franchise, Augusta Lawn Care can cost thousands of dollars.
99
00:09:15.909 --> 00:09:20.971
Those products are not built for someone who has zero customers, no revenue, and no cash in the bank.
100
00:09:21.411 --> 00:09:24.492
They're built for businesses that are already having momentum.
101
00:09:24.792 --> 00:09:25.913
They need better systems.
102
00:09:25.933 --> 00:09:29.834
They need better websites, better software, better support, and a better business model.
103
00:09:30.014 --> 00:09:40.878
But the reason I can give away so much free content and the courses and the education, free tools and free resources is because there are businesses further along that are able to pay for advanced help.
104
00:09:41.438 --> 00:09:50.601
So that's really my whole business model, is the businesses that can afford our paid products allow us to continue serving people who are not yet ready for them.
105
00:09:50.982 --> 00:09:53.362
And that's how we can make thousands of videos for free.
106
00:09:53.643 --> 00:09:55.003
That's how we can create free courses.
107
00:09:55.223 --> 00:10:00.645
That's how we can do this turnaround show where I fly out to help businesses without charging them for any consulting.
108
00:10:01.065 --> 00:10:04.426
That's how we can give away tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of books.
109
00:10:04.647 --> 00:10:08.488
This is how we change the level of professionalism in the landscaping industry.
110
00:10:08.668 --> 00:10:12.009
And I don't sound that to make this sound like a big charity campaign.
111
00:10:12.349 --> 00:10:16.851
I'm saying it because I want you to understand the business model and the philosophy behind the content.
112
00:10:17.351 --> 00:10:24.153
I want to build products for people who can afford them so we can keep creating resources for the people who cannot afford them yet.
113
00:10:24.753 --> 00:10:28.177
And hopefully some of the people who start with the free resources will grow.
114
00:10:28.698 --> 00:10:32.102
And maybe in a year or two, they'll need better software to be able to scale.
115
00:10:32.583 --> 00:10:35.806
And maybe in a few years after that, they'll need a better website from Home Service Web Design.
116
00:10:36.207 --> 00:10:41.674
And maybe down the road, they'll join Augusta so they can be part of a community and they can scale to multiple locations.
117
00:10:42.194 --> 00:10:49.798
Maybe they'll come to an event or they'll buy a book or maybe they'll never buy anything for me, but they build a better life because they learn something from the content.
118
00:10:50.158 --> 00:10:50.999
And I'm okay with that.
119
00:10:51.319 --> 00:10:52.540
The mission is still worth it.
120
00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:57.042
And that's why today I wanna announce, I built the Ultimate Starter Pack.
121
00:10:57.522 --> 00:11:02.365
This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time and we've just never had the resources or the tools for it.
122
00:11:03.105 --> 00:11:09.727
This is for the person who wants to start a lawn care business, but feels like they don't have the money, the knowledge, or the tools.
123
00:11:10.287 --> 00:11:11.647
Maybe they don't have a website.
124
00:11:11.687 --> 00:11:13.768
Maybe they don't know how to price their jobs.
125
00:11:14.088 --> 00:11:15.328
Maybe they don't have any software.
126
00:11:15.628 --> 00:11:17.148
Maybe they don't have a business plan.
127
00:11:17.468 --> 00:11:18.989
And all of that just scares them.
128
00:11:19.069 --> 00:11:22.230
Building a website, having software, having a business plan is scary.
129
00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:31.492
And or maybe they're just too young and they feel like no one's taking them seriously or even maybe they're older, but they have a family and they're trying to get away from the nine to five and build this thing on the side.
130
00:11:32.192 --> 00:11:37.939
And maybe they feel like they have the work ethic, but they don't know the next step to turn it into a real business.
131
00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:40.923
That is exactly who this was built for.
132
00:11:41.524 --> 00:11:43.907
The Ultimate Starter Pack gives you three things.
133
00:11:44.047 --> 00:11:45.829
The first is Instant Mowing Quote.
134
00:11:46.430 --> 00:11:50.655
This lets you create a mowing quote form that doesn't need your own website.
135
00:11:51.015 --> 00:11:55.938
The form is hosted on our platform and you can share the link anywhere on a Facebook group.
136
00:11:56.138 --> 00:11:57.299
You can text it to someone.
137
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.482
You can also send us a QR code, like print on your business cards on a door hanger.
138
00:12:01.702 --> 00:12:02.663
You can email it to people.
139
00:12:02.703 --> 00:12:09.747
You can post it in a local Facebook group in your community on next door, or you can use it anywhere where you want to reach customers and you don't even need the website.
140
00:12:10.167 --> 00:12:11.308
We have it all hosted for you.
141
00:12:11.868 --> 00:12:13.189
The customer just fills out the form.
142
00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:18.653
They get a quote for mowing and they can ask for other add on services and you get the client just like that.
143
00:12:19.053 --> 00:12:22.496
Your first 50 customers through the platform are completely free.
144
00:12:23.037 --> 00:12:29.622
And that matters for a brand new lawn care business because I believe the first 50 customers can completely change the business.
145
00:12:30.103 --> 00:12:30.883
It gives you proof.
146
00:12:31.304 --> 00:12:32.245
It gives you revenue.
147
00:12:32.665 --> 00:12:33.786
It gives you route density.
148
00:12:34.006 --> 00:12:34.907
It gives you confidence.
149
00:12:34.967 --> 00:12:39.431
And it gets you to about $5,000 to $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue.
150
00:12:39.791 --> 00:12:41.252
And that's what I love about lawn care.
151
00:12:41.373 --> 00:12:46.197
It's recurring revenue that gives you the confidence to be able to get started and make it your full-time thing.
152
00:12:47.135 --> 00:12:49.276
So that's the first part is instant mowing quote.
153
00:12:49.296 --> 00:12:52.518
The second part of the ultimate starter pack is homeworks software.
154
00:12:53.278 --> 00:12:58.301
Once you start getting leads, you want a professional look so that you can stay organized.
155
00:12:58.321 --> 00:13:03.444
Because if you start getting 50 customers and it's all inside your notes app and text threads and emails, it gets messy.
156
00:13:03.864 --> 00:13:10.990
You wanna start sending estimates, you wanna be sending invoices, collecting payments, and you wanna be keeping track of all your jobs and all your customers.
157
00:13:11.431 --> 00:13:17.176
And you really wanna operate like a real business, especially you get 30, 40, 50 customers, you need to stay organized.
158
00:13:17.436 --> 00:13:24.022
And that's the difference between staying at 30 or 40 and getting a 300 or 400, is that ability to stay organized using software.
159
00:13:24.502 --> 00:13:26.184
And HomeWorks gives you that foundation.
160
00:13:26.584 --> 00:13:29.567
For the first 50 contacts, it's free to everyone.
161
00:13:29.987 --> 00:13:37.891
And in fact, if you're under 18 years old, we actually extend that all the way to a thousand contacts for free and you get access to the upgraded growth version at zero cost.
162
00:13:38.331 --> 00:13:55.680
I'm trying to build this for a way, if you're a 15, 16, 17 year old guy or gal that wants to work hard and you might have checked out of the typical traditional path that all of your peers, all of your family, all the people you went to school with are on and you're like, I just wanna work hard and build something on my own, this is for you.
163
00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:59.382
You don't have to wait until you're 25 years old to learn sales.
164
00:13:59.922 --> 00:14:07.229
After you get a degree and rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt, you don't have to wait until you have some crazy customer service degree or certificate.
165
00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:13.074
You do not have to wait until someone gives you permission to learn pricing, discipline, and leadership.
166
00:14:13.575 --> 00:14:15.737
A lawn care business can teach you all of that.
167
00:14:16.297 --> 00:14:20.121
So the third part of the Ultimate Starter Pack is Landscape Business Course.
168
00:14:20.621 --> 00:14:31.226
This is over 20 hours of free training on how to price jobs, market your business, advertise, build route density, run operations, and scale a lawn care company.
169
00:14:31.766 --> 00:14:35.428
Now, tools are helpful, but tools without knowledge can still create a mess.
170
00:14:35.988 --> 00:14:45.476
And that's why I'm so happy we're able to launch this starter pack is because we had landscape business course and we had the education side of what I wanted to share, but we never had the tools, the software.
171
00:14:45.696 --> 00:14:48.018
We never had the website for you to actually get customers.
172
00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:50.581
And that's why all three of these things combined are so powerful.
173
00:14:50.781 --> 00:14:52.162
You need the education, though.
174
00:14:52.582 --> 00:14:55.725
If you underprice, you will work hard and stay broke.
175
00:14:55.805 --> 00:14:57.647
And I see this happen so often the time.
176
00:14:58.027 --> 00:15:03.412
People put three, four, five years into a home service business and they wake up on the other side with more debt and more trucks.
177
00:15:04.318 --> 00:15:05.419
And it's not the life they want.
178
00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:09.941
And if you chase the wrong jobs, you will stay busy, but you won't be profitable.
179
00:15:10.621 --> 00:15:16.884
If you don't learn how to follow up phone calls and texting and setting up automations, you will lose customers you could have won otherwise.
180
00:15:17.565 --> 00:15:23.768
If you don't organize your routes, you will waste hours every week just driving around with windshield time that costs you money.
181
00:15:24.028 --> 00:15:26.589
And if you don't learn the basics, the business will punish you.
182
00:15:27.129 --> 00:15:29.271
So the course is really there to give you the playbook.
183
00:15:29.751 --> 00:15:33.993
The point of the starter pack is not to make starting a business easy because, you know,
184
00:15:34.497 --> 00:15:38.320
Starting a business is not easy, and anyone that tells you otherwise is crazy.
185
00:15:38.821 --> 00:15:43.945
The point is to remove the early obstacles that stop people before they even begin.
186
00:15:44.506 --> 00:15:47.308
If you don't have a website, you can use Instant Mowing Quote.
187
00:15:48.149 --> 00:15:52.553
If you don't have any software, you can still look professional using homeworks.
188
00:15:52.613 --> 00:15:56.917
And if you don't know how to price jobs, you can learn from Landscape Business Course.
189
00:15:57.457 --> 00:16:03.283
And if you don't know where to start, this gives you the first three steps, but nobody can do the work for you.
190
00:16:03.804 --> 00:16:05.866
No one can give you the work ethic.
191
00:16:06.387 --> 00:16:10.891
Nobody can show you how to follow up and push through the obstacles of starting a business.
192
00:16:11.232 --> 00:16:16.698
No one can force you to show up on time for your customers, for your employees, and for the people that depend on you.
193
00:16:17.198 --> 00:16:29.330
No one can make you do good work when it's hot outside, when it's cold, when it's raining, when you're tired and when customers get difficult, they leave bad reviews, or even those first few weeks when it's slower than you expected and you just got started.
194
00:16:29.711 --> 00:16:30.571
That part is on you.
195
00:16:31.092 --> 00:16:33.674
And honestly, that is why I still believe in this industry.
196
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.401
I don't care about AI.
197
00:16:35.721 --> 00:16:39.062
I don't care about what people say about lawn care or about home services.
198
00:16:39.323 --> 00:16:40.223
I believe in this industry.
199
00:16:40.643 --> 00:16:45.426
Because home services reward people who are willing to do the unglamorous work consistently.
200
00:16:45.966 --> 00:16:48.888
They reward the person who answers when others don't.
201
00:16:49.268 --> 00:16:52.810
They reward the person who shows up when others make excuses.
202
00:16:53.150 --> 00:16:56.792
They reward the person who keeps improving when others blame the market.
203
00:16:57.392 --> 00:16:58.573
So where is this...
204
00:16:59.333 --> 00:17:00.755
home service millionaire channel going.
205
00:17:01.296 --> 00:17:06.322
It's going to go deeper into building the full journey of building a home service business.
206
00:17:06.562 --> 00:17:08.765
Past seven figures, multiple seven figures.
207
00:17:09.206 --> 00:17:11.389
There will still be content for the person getting started.
208
00:17:11.709 --> 00:17:13.732
There will still be content for the solo operator.
209
00:17:14.012 --> 00:17:17.436
There'll still be content for the person trying to get their first 50 customers.
210
00:17:17.917 --> 00:17:29.404
There will also be a lot more content for the owner trying to break through seven figures, hire leaders, open up more locations, build systems, and create a company that does not depend on them every hour of the day.
211
00:17:29.944 --> 00:17:32.085
Because I believe the goal is not just to start.
212
00:17:32.606 --> 00:17:34.667
The goal is to build something that creates wealth.
213
00:17:35.247 --> 00:17:39.029
The goal is to build something that serves customer at a higher level.
214
00:17:39.470 --> 00:17:42.872
The goal is to build something that gives employees a real career path.
215
00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:46.494
The goal is to build something that changes your entire family tree.
216
00:17:47.094 --> 00:17:50.376
The goal is to build something that raises the standard of the industry.
217
00:17:50.916 --> 00:17:51.636
And that is the mission.
218
00:17:52.177 --> 00:17:54.198
So if you're just getting started, I haven't forgot about you.
219
00:17:54.578 --> 00:17:58.159
In many ways, I'm talking to you every single time I make a video.
220
00:17:58.520 --> 00:18:02.982
I'm talking to the version of myself that was lost and needed someone to give him the playbook.
221
00:18:03.462 --> 00:18:12.907
I'm also talking to the version of myself that grew way too fast, got hurt, added way too many services, didn't have systems, and realized that revenue alone does not mean you have a real business.
222
00:18:13.547 --> 00:18:14.948
Both of those people need help.
223
00:18:15.628 --> 00:18:17.029
Both of those stages matter.
224
00:18:17.549 --> 00:18:19.850
And this channel is going to keep serving both.
225
00:18:20.371 --> 00:18:23.793
If you want access to the ultimate starter pack, the link is down in the description.
226
00:18:24.113 --> 00:18:27.795
You'll get instant mowing quote, homework software, and landscape business courses.
227
00:18:28.175 --> 00:18:28.836
The tools are free.
228
00:18:29.336 --> 00:18:30.336
The education is free.
229
00:18:30.597 --> 00:18:31.817
The opportunity is real.
230
00:18:32.117 --> 00:18:34.679
Now it comes down to doing the work.
1
00:00:00.211 --> 00:00:02.533
I want to talk about where this channel is going.
2
00:00:02.994 --> 00:00:12.123
Over the past year or two, I've seen a few comments and heard some feedback that basically comes down to this idea that maybe I've forgotten about the smaller business owner.
3
00:00:12.644 --> 00:00:16.728
The person that's just getting started, or the guy who's just trying to get his first few customers.
4
00:00:17.188 --> 00:00:18.730
And I understand where that's coming from.
5
00:00:18.910 --> 00:00:34.208
If you watched a lot of my recent content, I'm talking a lot more about management, leadership, multiple locations, managers, systems, recruiting, and building companies that can keep operating without the owner being involved in every single decision.
6
00:00:34.408 --> 00:00:53.296
That content is different from the videos I made years ago when I was talking a lot more about starting from scratch, getting your first few mowing customers, knocking on doors, pricing your first jobs, buying your first mower and your first weed whacker and blower, surviving your first season, and just trying to figure out how to get the business off the ground.
7
00:00:53.836 --> 00:00:59.839
So I understand why someone would look at the channel today and say, this feels like it's for bigger businesses now.
8
00:01:00.459 --> 00:01:01.800
Now, there is some truth in that.
9
00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:08.082
Over the past 12 to 24 months, I've intentionally made more content for seven-figure business owners.
10
00:01:08.742 --> 00:01:18.046
I've made more content for the person who already has crews, office staff, managers, trucks, payroll, a bunch of overhead, complexities already in the business.
11
00:01:18.326 --> 00:01:23.928
That person is dealing with a different set of problems than someone who is trying to get their first 50 customers.
12
00:01:24.488 --> 00:01:27.970
But that does not mean I've forgotten about the person at the beginning.
13
00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:33.776
I've made around 5,000 videos on YouTube between my main channel and Home Service Millionaire.
14
00:01:34.256 --> 00:01:44.868
And the majority of those videos were made for the person who is still early, the person trying to get through their first season, the person trying to make their first $1,000, their first $10,000, their first $100,000 in the industry.
15
00:01:48.212 --> 00:01:58.341
The person that's still confused, they're undercapitalized, they don't have a lot of cash, they're unsure, and they're still trying to figure out if they can really make this whole business thing work for them and their family.
16
00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:00.443
That person has never left my mind.
17
00:02:00.823 --> 00:02:05.767
When I first started making content, I really was talking to the 18-year-old version of myself.
18
00:02:06.568 --> 00:02:16.694
I was talking to the kid who didn't come from a wealthy family, didn't have investors, didn't have business connections, didn't have some fancy degree, and didn't have a room full of people telling him exactly what to do.
19
00:02:17.374 --> 00:02:24.939
I was talking to the version of me who wanted to work, wanted to win, wanted to build something, but I didn't know the playbook.
20
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.362
I was dropping out of school and the thing that I was comfortable with to start a lawn care business.
21
00:02:30.802 --> 00:02:34.465
That was when I was 18 years old, dropped out of university to start Augusta Lawn Care.
22
00:02:35.106 --> 00:02:39.289
And this is still the person that I think about most when I turn on the camera.
23
00:02:39.730 --> 00:02:44.354
And when I'm talking to this black sheet of glass, that's who I envision on the other side.
24
00:02:44.814 --> 00:02:49.638
The only thing that has changed is now that I'm talking to a slightly different version of myself.
25
00:02:49.938 --> 00:02:51.600
Because that was the 18-year-old version of myself.
26
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.164
Dropping out of medical school and trying to figure out, okay, I'm going to do this full time.
27
00:02:56.924 --> 00:02:58.486
Can I start Augusta Lawn Care?
28
00:02:58.986 --> 00:03:10.278
But now I'm also starting to talk more to the 20 year old version of me who had started to grow and then got caught underneath the dump truck and realized that the business I had built was still way too dependent on me.
29
00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:14.043
At that point, I had revenue, but I didn't really have a company.
30
00:03:14.363 --> 00:03:20.390
I had a bunch of work, but I didn't have any infrastructure and I had a bunch of customers, but I didn't have any systems.
31
00:03:20.910 --> 00:03:29.156
I had hired people, some mostly at the beginning, my friends, and I had employees, but I didn't have enough leadership, my skills or other managers.
32
00:03:29.616 --> 00:03:38.322
And when I was physically out and not able to be there because of the injury by getting underneath the dump truck, the weaknesses in the business became obvious very fast.
33
00:03:38.863 --> 00:03:50.051
So when I talk about leadership, management systems, building websites, having software, recruiting, having multiple locations, I'm still talking to that 20 year old version of myself.
34
00:03:50.691 --> 00:03:57.656
I'm talking that version that had gotten almost a million dollars in annual revenue, but it's still not yet built something durable.
35
00:03:58.276 --> 00:04:00.098
That is why this channel has evolved.
36
00:04:00.911 --> 00:04:02.492
And a lot of you have evolved too.
37
00:04:03.032 --> 00:04:06.314
Some of you started watching my videos like five or 10 years ago.
38
00:04:06.475 --> 00:04:12.038
That's when I started making condo over 10 years ago when you were just mowing lawns by yourself, plugged in with your headphones.
39
00:04:12.318 --> 00:04:22.505
But now you have crews, you have office staff, you have managers, you have payroll, and you have more customers, more revenue, more stress, and a lot bigger decisions inside of the business.
40
00:04:23.125 --> 00:04:27.307
The problems changed because the businesses that you all have built have grown.
41
00:04:27.787 --> 00:04:36.891
And if I kept making only beginner content forever, I would actually be failing the people who grew up with the channel and have been watching for five or ten years.
42
00:04:37.551 --> 00:04:44.995
At the same time, if I only talk to the seven-figure business owner, then I'm missing one of the main reasons I started making content in the first place.
43
00:04:45.555 --> 00:04:47.176
So where's this channel going?
44
00:04:47.876 --> 00:05:01.985
The answer to that is that this channel is really built to show the whole path, starting with nothing, getting your first customers, building your first routes, hiring your first employees, learning how to price correctly, creating systems, but then also developing leaders.
45
00:05:02.645 --> 00:05:08.729
opening multiple locations that run without your daily presence and without having to hire unicorns to run the business without you.
46
00:05:09.189 --> 00:05:15.773
And eventually building a business that gives you freedom, wealth, and the ability to serve other people at a higher level.
47
00:05:16.234 --> 00:05:17.094
That's the full journey.
48
00:05:17.615 --> 00:05:20.016
That is what I want Home Service Millionaire to become.
49
00:05:20.576 --> 00:05:22.478
And the mission behind it is very simple.
50
00:05:23.138 --> 00:05:25.759
I want to help home service business owners get rich.
51
00:05:26.239 --> 00:05:29.741
There are a lot of people in America who don't have a great starting point.
52
00:05:30.141 --> 00:05:40.326
They don't have a rich uncle, they don't have someone to lend them a million dollars, they don't have a lot of venture capital, private equity trying to give them money to get started, they don't have someone that's handing them a perfect opportunity.
53
00:05:41.006 --> 00:05:42.567
But they can get a mower.
54
00:05:42.908 --> 00:05:44.049
They can knock on doors.
55
00:05:44.069 --> 00:05:49.533
They can go buy a weed whacker or a blower like I did when I was 11 years old for under $1,000 from Lowe's.
56
00:05:49.874 --> 00:05:54.938
And yes, that mower broke down like five times in the first couple of years, but we got started in knocking on doors.
57
00:05:54.978 --> 00:06:00.803
And you can just take those simple ingredients and start answering the phone, start showing up on time,
58
00:06:01.303 --> 00:06:05.567
you can learn how to price jobs and learn how to sell and learn how to hire and lead other people.
59
00:06:05.907 --> 00:06:10.931
And these individuals that are just getting started, they can learn how business works by doing business in the real world.
60
00:06:11.492 --> 00:06:14.134
And that is really why I love home services.
61
00:06:14.774 --> 00:06:17.417
And for me, that specifically started with lawn care.
62
00:06:17.957 --> 00:06:22.501
Lawn care gave me a way to learn business when I didn't have a lot of other advantages.
63
00:06:22.981 --> 00:06:29.567
It taught me about sales, operations, pricing, customer service, hiring, leadership, marketing.
64
00:06:29.787 --> 00:06:36.753
having one-on-one meetings, cashflow, route density, delegation, and ultimately the discipline required to grow a business.
65
00:06:37.253 --> 00:06:38.875
It gave me the reps that I needed.
66
00:06:39.275 --> 00:06:53.327
And a lot of people look down on home services because the work is physical, because there's a lot of competition, because it doesn't sound so glamorous or because it doesn't have the same status symbol as software or finance or legal or, or healthcare or real estate.
67
00:06:53.747 --> 00:06:54.408
I see it differently.
68
00:06:55.008 --> 00:06:59.632
I think one of the best business educations in America is starting a home service business.
69
00:06:59.692 --> 00:07:06.378
You can learn very quickly whether people will pay you for your service because the demand is there, like people need our services.
70
00:07:06.798 --> 00:07:08.760
You learn very quickly if your pricing is wrong.
71
00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.204
You can learn very quickly if your employees are not trained.
72
00:07:12.505 --> 00:07:16.550
You learn very quickly if your cash flow and your whole business model is broken.
73
00:07:16.890 --> 00:07:21.116
You learn very quickly if you're disorganized and you can fix those things and learn and grow.
74
00:07:21.636 --> 00:07:23.919
The market gives you feedback every single day.
75
00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:29.506
That is a gift that if you are willing to learn from it, can do wonders for you and for your life.
76
00:07:29.607 --> 00:07:37.737
This is also connected to the mission of Augusta Lawn Care because from the beginning, the mission has always been to change the level of professionalism in the landscape industry.
77
00:07:38.217 --> 00:07:42.262
That matters because the industry has historically had a really bad reputation.
78
00:07:42.803 --> 00:07:58.697
Customers have been trained to expect contractors not to answer their phone, not to show up, not to communicate, not to send professional estimates, not to use software or systems, and not to operate like real companies that they interact with throughout their day, otherwise outside of lawn care.
79
00:07:59.218 --> 00:08:00.079
And I want to change that.
80
00:08:00.619 --> 00:08:03.640
I want the person mowing lawns to be viewed as a professional.
81
00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:07.361
I want the landscape business owner to build wealth and legacy.
82
00:08:07.621 --> 00:08:11.622
I want the technician to have a real career path inside of the company.
83
00:08:12.202 --> 00:08:14.342
I want the customer to experience better service.
84
00:08:14.922 --> 00:08:21.304
I want the owner to stop thinking that chaos is just part of the business and just a feature and not a bug of the industry.
85
00:08:22.084 --> 00:08:26.746
That mission starts with the person just getting started, but it does not end there.
86
00:08:27.227 --> 00:08:29.668
It starts with getting your first customers and doing great work.
87
00:08:30.068 --> 00:08:38.572
Then it becomes learning how to price properly, hire better, train people, create systems, build leaders, and create a company that can actually last.
88
00:08:38.692 --> 00:08:40.553
That is why I talk to both audiences.
89
00:08:40.933 --> 00:08:42.734
The beginner needs hope and a playbook.
90
00:08:43.274 --> 00:08:45.976
The growing owner needs systems and leadership.
91
00:08:46.516 --> 00:08:50.038
The mature business needs infrastructure and strategic clarity.
92
00:08:50.738 --> 00:08:52.859
All those people are on the same path.
93
00:08:53.219 --> 00:08:55.020
They're just at different stages.
94
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.163
And I've also built my business, my whole business model would be software or the franchise or the media around this belief.
95
00:09:01.683 --> 00:09:05.605
There are products and services that we sell to businesses that can afford them.
96
00:09:06.205 --> 00:09:08.426
Home service web design is $500 a month.
97
00:09:08.886 --> 00:09:11.547
Homeworks is around 300 to $500 a month also.
98
00:09:12.047 --> 00:09:15.209
Joining the franchise, Augusta Lawn Care can cost thousands of dollars.
99
00:09:15.909 --> 00:09:20.971
Those products are not built for someone who has zero customers, no revenue, and no cash in the bank.
100
00:09:21.411 --> 00:09:24.492
They're built for businesses that are already having momentum.
101
00:09:24.792 --> 00:09:25.913
They need better systems.
102
00:09:25.933 --> 00:09:29.834
They need better websites, better software, better support, and a better business model.
103
00:09:30.014 --> 00:09:40.878
But the reason I can give away so much free content and the courses and the education, free tools and free resources is because there are businesses further along that are able to pay for advanced help.
104
00:09:41.438 --> 00:09:50.601
So that's really my whole business model, is the businesses that can afford our paid products allow us to continue serving people who are not yet ready for them.
105
00:09:50.982 --> 00:09:53.362
And that's how we can make thousands of videos for free.
106
00:09:53.643 --> 00:09:55.003
That's how we can create free courses.
107
00:09:55.223 --> 00:10:00.645
That's how we can do this turnaround show where I fly out to help businesses without charging them for any consulting.
108
00:10:01.065 --> 00:10:04.426
That's how we can give away tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of books.
109
00:10:04.647 --> 00:10:08.488
This is how we change the level of professionalism in the landscaping industry.
110
00:10:08.668 --> 00:10:12.009
And I don't sound that to make this sound like a big charity campaign.
111
00:10:12.349 --> 00:10:16.851
I'm saying it because I want you to understand the business model and the philosophy behind the content.
112
00:10:17.351 --> 00:10:24.153
I want to build products for people who can afford them so we can keep creating resources for the people who cannot afford them yet.
113
00:10:24.753 --> 00:10:28.177
And hopefully some of the people who start with the free resources will grow.
114
00:10:28.698 --> 00:10:32.102
And maybe in a year or two, they'll need better software to be able to scale.
115
00:10:32.583 --> 00:10:35.806
And maybe in a few years after that, they'll need a better website from Home Service Web Design.
116
00:10:36.207 --> 00:10:41.674
And maybe down the road, they'll join Augusta so they can be part of a community and they can scale to multiple locations.
117
00:10:42.194 --> 00:10:49.798
Maybe they'll come to an event or they'll buy a book or maybe they'll never buy anything for me, but they build a better life because they learn something from the content.
118
00:10:50.158 --> 00:10:50.999
And I'm okay with that.
119
00:10:51.319 --> 00:10:52.540
The mission is still worth it.
120
00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:57.042
And that's why today I wanna announce, I built the Ultimate Starter Pack.
121
00:10:57.522 --> 00:11:02.365
This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time and we've just never had the resources or the tools for it.
122
00:11:03.105 --> 00:11:09.727
This is for the person who wants to start a lawn care business, but feels like they don't have the money, the knowledge, or the tools.
123
00:11:10.287 --> 00:11:11.647
Maybe they don't have a website.
124
00:11:11.687 --> 00:11:13.768
Maybe they don't know how to price their jobs.
125
00:11:14.088 --> 00:11:15.328
Maybe they don't have any software.
126
00:11:15.628 --> 00:11:17.148
Maybe they don't have a business plan.
127
00:11:17.468 --> 00:11:18.989
And all of that just scares them.
128
00:11:19.069 --> 00:11:22.230
Building a website, having software, having a business plan is scary.
129
00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:31.492
And or maybe they're just too young and they feel like no one's taking them seriously or even maybe they're older, but they have a family and they're trying to get away from the nine to five and build this thing on the side.
130
00:11:32.192 --> 00:11:37.939
And maybe they feel like they have the work ethic, but they don't know the next step to turn it into a real business.
131
00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:40.923
That is exactly who this was built for.
132
00:11:41.524 --> 00:11:43.907
The Ultimate Starter Pack gives you three things.
133
00:11:44.047 --> 00:11:45.829
The first is Instant Mowing Quote.
134
00:11:46.430 --> 00:11:50.655
This lets you create a mowing quote form that doesn't need your own website.
135
00:11:51.015 --> 00:11:55.938
The form is hosted on our platform and you can share the link anywhere on a Facebook group.
136
00:11:56.138 --> 00:11:57.299
You can text it to someone.
137
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.482
You can also send us a QR code, like print on your business cards on a door hanger.
138
00:12:01.702 --> 00:12:02.663
You can email it to people.
139
00:12:02.703 --> 00:12:09.747
You can post it in a local Facebook group in your community on next door, or you can use it anywhere where you want to reach customers and you don't even need the website.
140
00:12:10.167 --> 00:12:11.308
We have it all hosted for you.
141
00:12:11.868 --> 00:12:13.189
The customer just fills out the form.
142
00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:18.653
They get a quote for mowing and they can ask for other add on services and you get the client just like that.
143
00:12:19.053 --> 00:12:22.496
Your first 50 customers through the platform are completely free.
144
00:12:23.037 --> 00:12:29.622
And that matters for a brand new lawn care business because I believe the first 50 customers can completely change the business.
145
00:12:30.103 --> 00:12:30.883
It gives you proof.
146
00:12:31.304 --> 00:12:32.245
It gives you revenue.
147
00:12:32.665 --> 00:12:33.786
It gives you route density.
148
00:12:34.006 --> 00:12:34.907
It gives you confidence.
149
00:12:34.967 --> 00:12:39.431
And it gets you to about $5,000 to $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue.
150
00:12:39.791 --> 00:12:41.252
And that's what I love about lawn care.
151
00:12:41.373 --> 00:12:46.197
It's recurring revenue that gives you the confidence to be able to get started and make it your full-time thing.
152
00:12:47.135 --> 00:12:49.276
So that's the first part is instant mowing quote.
153
00:12:49.296 --> 00:12:52.518
The second part of the ultimate starter pack is homeworks software.
154
00:12:53.278 --> 00:12:58.301
Once you start getting leads, you want a professional look so that you can stay organized.
155
00:12:58.321 --> 00:13:03.444
Because if you start getting 50 customers and it's all inside your notes app and text threads and emails, it gets messy.
156
00:13:03.864 --> 00:13:10.990
You wanna start sending estimates, you wanna be sending invoices, collecting payments, and you wanna be keeping track of all your jobs and all your customers.
157
00:13:11.431 --> 00:13:17.176
And you really wanna operate like a real business, especially you get 30, 40, 50 customers, you need to stay organized.
158
00:13:17.436 --> 00:13:24.022
And that's the difference between staying at 30 or 40 and getting a 300 or 400, is that ability to stay organized using software.
159
00:13:24.502 --> 00:13:26.184
And HomeWorks gives you that foundation.
160
00:13:26.584 --> 00:13:29.567
For the first 50 contacts, it's free to everyone.
161
00:13:29.987 --> 00:13:37.891
And in fact, if you're under 18 years old, we actually extend that all the way to a thousand contacts for free and you get access to the upgraded growth version at zero cost.
162
00:13:38.331 --> 00:13:55.680
I'm trying to build this for a way, if you're a 15, 16, 17 year old guy or gal that wants to work hard and you might have checked out of the typical traditional path that all of your peers, all of your family, all the people you went to school with are on and you're like, I just wanna work hard and build something on my own, this is for you.
163
00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:59.382
You don't have to wait until you're 25 years old to learn sales.
164
00:13:59.922 --> 00:14:07.229
After you get a degree and rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt, you don't have to wait until you have some crazy customer service degree or certificate.
165
00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:13.074
You do not have to wait until someone gives you permission to learn pricing, discipline, and leadership.
166
00:14:13.575 --> 00:14:15.737
A lawn care business can teach you all of that.
167
00:14:16.297 --> 00:14:20.121
So the third part of the Ultimate Starter Pack is Landscape Business Course.
168
00:14:20.621 --> 00:14:31.226
This is over 20 hours of free training on how to price jobs, market your business, advertise, build route density, run operations, and scale a lawn care company.
169
00:14:31.766 --> 00:14:35.428
Now, tools are helpful, but tools without knowledge can still create a mess.
170
00:14:35.988 --> 00:14:45.476
And that's why I'm so happy we're able to launch this starter pack is because we had landscape business course and we had the education side of what I wanted to share, but we never had the tools, the software.
171
00:14:45.696 --> 00:14:48.018
We never had the website for you to actually get customers.
172
00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:50.581
And that's why all three of these things combined are so powerful.
173
00:14:50.781 --> 00:14:52.162
You need the education, though.
174
00:14:52.582 --> 00:14:55.725
If you underprice, you will work hard and stay broke.
175
00:14:55.805 --> 00:14:57.647
And I see this happen so often the time.
176
00:14:58.027 --> 00:15:03.412
People put three, four, five years into a home service business and they wake up on the other side with more debt and more trucks.
177
00:15:04.318 --> 00:15:05.419
And it's not the life they want.
178
00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:09.941
And if you chase the wrong jobs, you will stay busy, but you won't be profitable.
179
00:15:10.621 --> 00:15:16.884
If you don't learn how to follow up phone calls and texting and setting up automations, you will lose customers you could have won otherwise.
180
00:15:17.565 --> 00:15:23.768
If you don't organize your routes, you will waste hours every week just driving around with windshield time that costs you money.
181
00:15:24.028 --> 00:15:26.589
And if you don't learn the basics, the business will punish you.
182
00:15:27.129 --> 00:15:29.271
So the course is really there to give you the playbook.
183
00:15:29.751 --> 00:15:33.993
The point of the starter pack is not to make starting a business easy because, you know,
184
00:15:34.497 --> 00:15:38.320
Starting a business is not easy, and anyone that tells you otherwise is crazy.
185
00:15:38.821 --> 00:15:43.945
The point is to remove the early obstacles that stop people before they even begin.
186
00:15:44.506 --> 00:15:47.308
If you don't have a website, you can use Instant Mowing Quote.
187
00:15:48.149 --> 00:15:52.553
If you don't have any software, you can still look professional using homeworks.
188
00:15:52.613 --> 00:15:56.917
And if you don't know how to price jobs, you can learn from Landscape Business Course.
189
00:15:57.457 --> 00:16:03.283
And if you don't know where to start, this gives you the first three steps, but nobody can do the work for you.
190
00:16:03.804 --> 00:16:05.866
No one can give you the work ethic.
191
00:16:06.387 --> 00:16:10.891
Nobody can show you how to follow up and push through the obstacles of starting a business.
192
00:16:11.232 --> 00:16:16.698
No one can force you to show up on time for your customers, for your employees, and for the people that depend on you.
193
00:16:17.198 --> 00:16:29.330
No one can make you do good work when it's hot outside, when it's cold, when it's raining, when you're tired and when customers get difficult, they leave bad reviews, or even those first few weeks when it's slower than you expected and you just got started.
194
00:16:29.711 --> 00:16:30.571
That part is on you.
195
00:16:31.092 --> 00:16:33.674
And honestly, that is why I still believe in this industry.
196
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.401
I don't care about AI.
197
00:16:35.721 --> 00:16:39.062
I don't care about what people say about lawn care or about home services.
198
00:16:39.323 --> 00:16:40.223
I believe in this industry.
199
00:16:40.643 --> 00:16:45.426
Because home services reward people who are willing to do the unglamorous work consistently.
200
00:16:45.966 --> 00:16:48.888
They reward the person who answers when others don't.
201
00:16:49.268 --> 00:16:52.810
They reward the person who shows up when others make excuses.
202
00:16:53.150 --> 00:16:56.792
They reward the person who keeps improving when others blame the market.
203
00:16:57.392 --> 00:16:58.573
So where is this...
204
00:16:59.333 --> 00:17:00.755
home service millionaire channel going.
205
00:17:01.296 --> 00:17:06.322
It's going to go deeper into building the full journey of building a home service business.
206
00:17:06.562 --> 00:17:08.765
Past seven figures, multiple seven figures.
207
00:17:09.206 --> 00:17:11.389
There will still be content for the person getting started.
208
00:17:11.709 --> 00:17:13.732
There will still be content for the solo operator.
209
00:17:14.012 --> 00:17:17.436
There'll still be content for the person trying to get their first 50 customers.
210
00:17:17.917 --> 00:17:29.404
There will also be a lot more content for the owner trying to break through seven figures, hire leaders, open up more locations, build systems, and create a company that does not depend on them every hour of the day.
211
00:17:29.944 --> 00:17:32.085
Because I believe the goal is not just to start.
212
00:17:32.606 --> 00:17:34.667
The goal is to build something that creates wealth.
213
00:17:35.247 --> 00:17:39.029
The goal is to build something that serves customer at a higher level.
214
00:17:39.470 --> 00:17:42.872
The goal is to build something that gives employees a real career path.
215
00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:46.494
The goal is to build something that changes your entire family tree.
216
00:17:47.094 --> 00:17:50.376
The goal is to build something that raises the standard of the industry.
217
00:17:50.916 --> 00:17:51.636
And that is the mission.
218
00:17:52.177 --> 00:17:54.198
So if you're just getting started, I haven't forgot about you.
219
00:17:54.578 --> 00:17:58.159
In many ways, I'm talking to you every single time I make a video.
220
00:17:58.520 --> 00:18:02.982
I'm talking to the version of myself that was lost and needed someone to give him the playbook.
221
00:18:03.462 --> 00:18:12.907
I'm also talking to the version of myself that grew way too fast, got hurt, added way too many services, didn't have systems, and realized that revenue alone does not mean you have a real business.
222
00:18:13.547 --> 00:18:14.948
Both of those people need help.
223
00:18:15.628 --> 00:18:17.029
Both of those stages matter.
224
00:18:17.549 --> 00:18:19.850
And this channel is going to keep serving both.
225
00:18:20.371 --> 00:18:23.793

229
00:18:30.597 --> 00:18:31.817
The opportunity is real.
