When I first started mobile detailing, it was out of a 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS.

I'd have to stuff as much as I could in the back of the car, take everything out once you get to the job site, stuff everything back in when you leave, and then clean and reorganize all of it once you got back home. 

In this episode, Lex and I talk about how we started off as mobile detailers, what vehicle we worked in, the pros and cons along the way, and how we've upgraded to a 2015 Ram ProMaster.

Starting and growing your detailing business is not easy. Especially when you are limited on time due to your job, school, or life.

In this episode, I share how my schedule looked working 50+ hours a week while detailing on the side, how I was able to focus on the important tasks that generated results, and why you shouldn't let work ruin relationships.

I've been growing my detailing business for the last 10 years and I've had my fair share of negative comments from other people (and even detailers). If you don't have the right mindset, you can easily be discouraged to grow your business or raise your rates.

In this episode, I'm going to share how I handle negative feedback like when people call me a scam, hack, or that I'm ripping people off. This is important to understand because sooner or later, you'll get a negative comment about what you're doing in your business.

Why do businesses fail? A common theme I hear from detailers is, "I don't have that much money, therefore I'm limited on growth".

This is a bad mentality to have and in this episode, I breakdown businesses who have had tens of millions of dollars in funding and still have to shut their doors for good.

The goal of this episode is to shift your mindset on what you think you need in order to be successful with your business.

How do you find your dream customer? How do you attract the right type of customers that are happy to pay for your services? 

The answer is not taking on every single job under the sun. It's the complete opposite. 

In this episode, I sit down with Cesar and we discuss how telling people "no" has helped grow our businesses. 

This is a very important topic to understand, regardless of where you are in your business!
