The AEM Exterior Cleaning Podcast is now on YouTube!
In this long awaited episode I catch you up with my story over the past couple of years or so. I've been busy starting and growing a training program which has received some great feedback and built almost 150 5 star Google reviews!
Then I've also had people trying to copy me, stealing my social media clips and trying their own hand at training as well.
Well I'm still fighting on, and I will keep doing what I'm doing to help and support others as they grow their own exterior cleaning businesses!

It's always great to hear about how the A. E. Mackintosh Exterior Cleaning YouTube channel has helped others to start their own businesses. Josh and Phil both had good jobs as car salesmen when they decided to start their own business partnership as exterior cleaning professionals. It was great to have them on the AM Podcast to hear about how they made the transition, with a little help from my videos. But would their sales skills be transferable to their new business venture? Has the decision to go self employed really paid off, and have they achieved a new flexible lifestyle that they've always wanted?
