If you had to do it over again and knowing what you know today would you be in the powerwashing business?
For me its a tough question. My answer would be maybe, only because I like this business. But the bottom line in business is money. People here can debate that if they like but for me it comes down to money.
I have friends who have businesses in the followingools,Landscaping,Chiminey cleaning, etc. and they have something which is what I wish I had for my business; REVOLVING ACCOUNTS. They never have to worry about having enough work to keep there employees busy. This is something I wish I had for my business. I know some of you out there have enough work where this is not a major concern for you but for me it is.
Just recently I was considering on buying a landscaping route in my area because it had numerous accts. which means I can have employees with plenty of work for them and go from there.
In my powerwashing business I'm either extremely busy or not busy enough(Like right now) and I have to tell my workers that there isn't enough work this week for them to do(They both work for me part-time because they also have other jobs-thank God)
I may now lose on of my guys which is to bad because he is good.
The reason why I don't give up on my business is because I am a positive person and I feel like I can get this baby to grow. But I have to be honest here, when I talk to my friends about business they keep telling me to get a business where there is a very good chance for steady acct's where the money is always flowing in so you can have fulltime employees that don't have to worry about not getting enough work.
I plan on doing this business for at least another year but I am defenitely keeping my eyes open for other options or add ons.
So we all know that hindsight is everything and with that being said would you start all over again and do this business?
