@thejacobhouse Can you add in landscaping, mulching, and winter clean up? Depending on where you live, it’s spring and everyone in states that have seasons are throwing a ton of money at landscaping. To the point where there are hundreds of Facebook group posts asking “hey anyone have a landscaper that actually calls back and can fit me in?” I’m in the Midwest US, and window cleaning isn’t hot right now, landscaping is.
In the theme of sweaty startup mentality, I personally would go on every parent Facebook group you have in the area you live and look at what vendors people are complaining about not being able to find. The in demand services are right there in your face.
My own house cleaners are a couple, man and wife. They are the hardest to book cleaning service in our busy town. And in the winter they clean together for their business. and in the spring, he does exclusively fall cleanups, mulch, and gutter cleaning. I asked them if his side business is worth turning down cleaning clients for. I was shocked to hear them say just a few weeks of his outdoor services makes more than their cleaning business does all year. The cleaning business is the side business for the landscaping one! Who knew!
You sound like a hard worker, and I get that it’s a scary position to be in. I’d look for the services most in demand in your area and then offer it.
Good luck! Come back in 5 weeks and tell us how you crushed it.
