WHO AM I?
Hey 👋, I’m Jonathan Pototschnik—my friends call me JP.

If you’ve heard of me, it’s probably because I’ve had some big wins in home services over the last 15 years, building multiple 8-figure companies and selling a software business. But what you didn’t see were the years before that—trying different businesses, walking away from businesses that made great money but weren’t what I wanted for my life, and pushing through times when I felt like I was giving everything but barely keeping up with life at home with my wife and boys.

I lost three years and $100k on my first ‘real’ business in my mid-20s. I spent years building another company only to give back my equity and walk away. People see success, but they don’t see the long, exhausting, and uncertain road it took to get here—just like the one you might be on now.

This channel is where I share what I’ve learned—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently.

I don’t have a grand plan for this. Maybe I’ll coach again (I used to own a coaching business). Maybe I’ll help young entrepreneurs. Maybe I’ll start another software company (probably not). I just know that sharing what I’ve learned is valuable, and I enjoy it.  Plus, it keeps my options open. It’s always good to have an audience and be known.

If you’re building something and want to avoid years of trial and error, stick around. I’ve got a few ideas to share.

If you had $200K in your account that you knew you’d never need, who would you hire to make your life better? Who would take the stress, frustration, and burnout off your plate?

That person exists.

But could your pricing be the reason you don’t have that $200K yet?

In this interview with Luke (from an Australian podcast), we break down the biggest business challenges—pricing, profit margins, scaling beyond mowing, and the hardest phase of business growth.

Topics We Cover:

✅ The breaking point in business—and what brings relief
✅ How pricing issues stop you from growing
✅ Why mowing is no longer a good business (and what’s next)
✅ Expanding into more complicated, higher-margin services
✅ The truth about profit margins—what’s realistic at scale
✅ My 3-year sabbatical—what I learned & what’s next

I also added my thoughts at the end of most sections to expand on key points.
