Tyler Crump

Dad of 2 with an MBA, teaching my family to run our moving + cleaning biz. You get the systems, numbers and mistakes, so you can build yours around real life.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

I'm Tyler.

Most business advice is for people with free time.

This isn't that.

If you've got:
• a job that pays the bills
• kids who think 5 a.m. is a reasonable time to party
• an idea you keep pushing to "someday"

Follow along. 🧵

@sweatystartup The "smart people around me" part is what I'm building now.

Family on the crew, family running the cleaning side.

Decisions go faster when you trust who you're asking.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@robprogressive Underrated one on that list: the same partner.

Nothing protects your money like someone in your corner who wants the same future.

Invest in what makes you money. But your relationship pays the best return.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@sharran The hardest part isn't waiting.

It's watching everyone else enjoy their Saturday while you're loading a truck.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

Two boys at home made this hit different. They won't remember what I was busy with. They'll remember if I showed up.

When I was 22, I skipped my grandmother's funeral.

My song had just come on the radio in LA. I told myself I wouldn't be missed.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@Codie_Sanchez Perfect track records are usually empty ones. I'll take a few mistakes and a calendar full of jobs.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@LeilaHormozi Hardest part of owning a business: telling the difference between criticism and a lesson.

I've missed some obvious mistakes because I was too close to them. Sometimes the people around you see it first.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

Mistake: thinking I had to set everything up myself.

Facebook, Yelp, forms, the website, the quotes. All me, at 5:45 a.m.

The business didn't grow until I let family take pieces of it.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@Markmanson Asking my own family to work for me was the most uncomfortable one so far. Also the best decision I've made this year.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@WealthGen2025 @mhp_guy Love that. Adding it to the booking form this week. Right now my crew asks in the driveway at the end of the move, and a checkbox catches it before we even show up.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

My older brother worked his first move with us yesterday.

My little sister runs our cleaning side.

Still a small operation, but every person on it is family.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@MoneyTalksTwt Your first business team is your family.

Makes everything easier.

Business is so much more satisfying when you look around and you’re surrounded by people who love you and want you to do great.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@mindsetmachine Felt this the last 6 months. My weekends used to be free.

Now they're moving, my boys, and building.

Some friendships faded with that. No bad guys, just different lanes.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@MoneyTalksTwt I stopped hiring based solely off of talent, now I hire based on trust.

Anyone can work while I’m there. But can I trust you to keep working when I turn my back?

With family, that trust is built in.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@MoneyTalksTwt Appreciate it! Building alongside people like you makes it more fun. Let's keep going.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

Today's numbers:

2.5-hour drive. Our longest move yet.
4 on the crew: me, my older brother, my sister and a buddy.
1 blind dog carried back inside.
2 new jobs booked before we got home.
Family business hits different.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

Don't pitch the gatekeeper. They aren’t your prospect.

Ask for help.

"I'm not sure if you can help me… who handles (blank) there?"

Slow tone, curious, no pitch. Gatekeepers block salespeople, not people asking for directions. Imagine you’re trying to get back on the highway in a small town.

Years of financial advising taught me some interesting tactics to get in front of decision-makers, but this one is effective for every industry.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

@mindsetmachine I wish there was a trick.

There's not.

Turn thoughts into actions.

Repeat tomorrow.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

Kids taught me this before business did. The meltdown always passes. What you say during it doesn't.

Apply that to business and you'll see what I mean.

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

Bad weeks, months, and quarters are reversible.
What you do in a panic spiral usually isn’t.

Companies don’t die from the storm; every storm in history has passed. They die from making irreversible decisions in reversible conditions.

[Tyler Crump @TylerCrumpMBA]

One of my favorite things to tell people:
Money does buy happiness. Because money buys the freedom to do the things that make you happy.

For me that's being at every game for my children, and someday doing for my parents what this man did for his.

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

Money actually does make you happy if you know the right way to use it

Lambos & Ferrari’s are nice, but buying your Mum & Dad a house & taking care of their bills & healthcare is pure happiness

I know because I did that 20 years ago, & my Dad died this year a happy man 

And it took a lot of money to make that happen
