Quit Waiting. Start This Simple Business with $0 | Ep. #171

Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.com.

I sat down with Brandon Doyle (x.com/_BrandonDoyle_) again, he was on back in episode #060, and we brainstormed creative ways to grow small service businesses. We bounced around a bunch of low-cost, scrappy business ideas. Some of them sound kinda out there at first, but they’ve got real-world results behind them and they’re super easy to test. If you’re trying to get more customers without spending a ton, this one’s worth a listen.
