I actually ended up kind of transitioning more towards lawncare after initially starting with cleaning because I got more traction with it, and ended up enjoying it more. I understand exactly where you're coming from, I think it's best when starting out to do something that translates to money pretty quickly like cleaning. Regarding what you said about caring what others think, yeah I think I do care what others think and that has been a problem in the past. Feels like I'd just be getting into it for the wrong reasons. And when I'm honest with myself I'm also slightly concerned that I don't really care about others' fitness journeys, I only really care about my own. But now I kind of feel like it might ruin what I love. PTing was going to be the one that I was going to "do what I love". But I probably do have enough savings to see if I could get that off the ground without having to work part time, at least for a 1-2months. I would absolutely be prepared to do remote work part time sales roles though if needs be, while I build home service/cleaning business. I'm not a sales superstar I've just done £25kbase + 7-10k commission for a few years type of thing. Sales consulting or a sales training business would be a massive stretch I think. sales wise, yes I definitely have sales skills within companies that I have worked for but not sure how I could grow this to be something standalone and not within 7 days. Besides, I didn't fully qualify so there's no real option to consult/provide legal advice in any capacity. the legal aspect to my career was years ago and I never enjoyed it. I'm here to learn and execute ASAP.Īny suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated, glad to be a part of this forum.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for this. I don't want to waste time, I feel like I need to start something. Still a lot to learn regarding marketing/google ads, I don't really know about any of that right now. I can't help thinking that anything related to roofing would be sketchy in the UK uld be wrong about that though. I've thought about lawn care/gardening but I think equipment would be £££ initially. Also think it has issues with making sure people are in etc which boy mentioned. However I'm also aware that it's obviously a bit unconventional for a 30yo guy to decide to start a home cleaning business. I definitely don't want to bury myself in excessive research for the next 6months in a library or trying to read every single post on the forum. Also read Black's post about probably already knowing enough which I took quite a lot from. I would have no problem knocking on doors and pitching/handing out fliers, could print them off, set up a website easily enough. I could do a part time sales role remotely while building this to keep regular money in. Equipment would be cheap, I'm good at cleaning and I actually enjoy it. I think a cleaning business would be pretty easy to set up and could get the wheels turning for me. passion for helping others and the knowledge that solving other peoples problems is what makes money some savings and relatively little outgoings But I'm sick of making someone else rich via selling I can connect with people in person and over the phone. Now I'm not sure that is the best idea and might put it on the back burner for now. I'm not working right now, I have some savings, maybe like £10k, I recently finished a personal training course because until I read TMF I had this great plan to "do what I love". I quit this job to focus on mental health and got sober after struggling with excessive drink/drugs for years. Hands down the worse job I've ever done, literally had the moment MJ describes in his book, sat in a f*cking cubicle age 30 thinking "How did I get here?". Since then I've taken sales roles in IT firms, start-ups, banks and the last role I was doing until very recently was selling life insurance. I was then offered a training contract to fully qualify as a solicitor which I accepted, before realising that I didn't want to be in the legal profession for the rest of my life and I pulled out. After leaving Uni I worked in the legal profession as a paralegal on shit pay initially. I got good grades at school, went to Uni and messed around for 3 years.
