How to Start a Trash Bin Cleaning Business from Scratch. Ep. #82

I sat down with Jason Feller, who went from managing private clubs for 20 years to running his own trash bin cleaning business. Tired of missing his kids' activities, Jason decided to make a change. He invested $48,000 into a trash bin cleaning trailer and now serves 300 recurring customers. We talked about customer acquisition tactics, from leveraging Facebook groups to direct marketing, and the challenges Jason faced transitioning from a career in club management to running his own business.
