Here’s some hiring advice you didn’t ask for and it’s for any home service business owner:
-If they’re not employed, don’t hire them
-If they talk poorly about their past employer, don’t hire them
-If they haven’t stayed at the same job for over a year in the last five years, especially recently, do not hire them. (If you’re desperate, make it the last 3 years)
-If they have experience in your field and they’re currently not working in your field, that’s a yellow flag. If the were just laid off, probably okay to proceed
-background check every person, use Checkr, takes a week to get approved and saves you a lot of hassle. Do NOT start them until the background check comes back
-bad driving record = bad decision making, pass
-80% of the reason for background check is to CONFIRM PAST EMPLOYMENT. This is super important. If they’re lying about their work history, this is not a good sign and you should not hire them
And lastly, if they have an android phone. No one wants the work chat going green. Just kidding, sort of
@Jacob_Naviaux@dig_deeper1 Got it I’m about to get back in it here soon last few years they were the most challenging leads for me. They would hold on to the property and say “ I got it situated” it’s like the most stubborn leads I have dealt with. You bought at auction ?
Pick an asset class.
I like industrial(contractor garages, self storage) and multifamily.
Start small.
Focus on value add.
Once you figure things out and the lightbulbs go off you now have a path to make an unlimited amount of money your entire life.
@shawngorham Pray, workout, no alcohol no fake dopamine, good sleep
Find the core issue though and see why it’s happening and how you can fix it. I know you mentioned your kids was putting a bit of stress on you
Stop signing a year lease at a coworking space for your Google Business Profile.
Here is what we tell every client. Find a shared office space. Get the smallest room they have. Get verified with Google. Funnel all your reviews to that profile until you hit about 30.
Then cancel the membership.
Your profile stays live. Your reviews stay live. You just saved yourself 11 months of rent. If something ever goes wrong you just reopen the membership and handle it.
These coworking spaces are DYING for business right now. Covid is over. Nobody is renting. You can haggle them down to nothing. They need you more than you need them.
I have clients with 5 and 6 Google Business Profiles across different cities. Every single one is set up this way. That is how you dominate a market without buying a building in every city.
