In this episode, Phil reflects on a recurring challenge while building a UK home service business: shiny object syndrome.

He breaks down additional services and ideas the business experimented with along the way — why they seemed like good opportunities at the time, what actually happened in reality, and how spreading focus too thin slowed progress. This episode covers the importance of timing, learning when to cut losses, and why sticking with one core service long enough to let it compound matters more than chasing the next idea.

No hype, no hindsight success stories...just an honest look at what didn't work, what it cost, and how those lessons now shape better decisions in the business.

This episode is the real starting point.

Phil shares how See It Clean began — from being furloughed during COVID and searching for a recession-proof business, to buying a van, landing the first customer, and quickly realising the job was harder than it looked online.

He walks through the early mistakes, the first winter panic, merging with Josh, and the simple decisions that helped the business move forward — including why putting prices on the website became a turning point.

There's no strategy breakdown in this episode. Just the real story of how it started and the foundations everything else was built on.
