So first off, blue collar startups, all the sweaty startup people are always going off about how these businesses are the best businesses to start. In reality, like what they never do is show you actually how to grow them. So that's what I want to talk about today. So each of these things are approachable. You can go get started with these businesses for like 150 bucks at your Lowe's or Home Depot or whatever, you know, your Ace Hardware is right next to you. I think it's one of these ideas that's like very deceptive when you look at it, like you're like, oh, this is just some simple, dumb lifestyle business. But in reality, like the game here is you go and you make this service business a sweaty startup or whatever the hell you want to call it. And then you learn these skill sets on how to market this type of business. You turn that into an agency, create this cash flow so that then I can go and I want to buy portions of these companies in specific geographies.
So you're just thinking about this over a seven to 10 year period of climbing this ladder. When you scale this up, what this evolves into is when you own portions of these companies, this can turn into an unbelievable whole portfolio company. That whole thing that I'm talking about there is just basically like how you can go from like baby entrepreneur to, okay, you're playing at the pro level with the big dogs, right? Gotta stretch it out, dude. You gotta stretch it out. You need, you need the intro music. We have to figure out how to do this. I want like sip, you know, the sip theme song playing as you're waiting in the waiting room.
But when Cody Schneider comes on, it's like sip in time, baby.
Like exactly, exactly, exactly. I wanted like deep house techno, like techno bunker style. You think you're out of like late nineties rave. That's what we're going for.
So anyway, Cody Schneider, you're back. You're ready to sip. You got a lot of blue collar ideas and... Some blue collar.
I want to rip on those first because it's driving me crazy. Everybody always talks about how easy it is to start these businesses and then they never actually show you how to do this. And it's... actually so easy so anyways i want to go there and then we can dive into there's a bunch of random stuff on that list that we got but it's going to level up from like you know really approachable stuff into stuff that's you know kind of even out of my my my range of of expertise or skill set so far so should we do it let's do it Hell yeah. All right. So first off, blue collar startups, all these sweaty startup people are always going off about how these businesses are the best businesses to start. In reality, what they never do is show you actually how to grow them. So that's what I want to talk about today. So the three I'm going to use as an example is going to be...
going to be window cleaning, it's going to be power washing, and it's going to be lawn mowing. And the reason for this is because you want to do something that neighbors can physically see looks different on the structure next to them, because you can use that as a selling, like a leverage point to go sell the whole neighborhood on that thing. So again, Each of these things are approachable. You can go get started with these businesses for like $150 at your Lowe's or Home Depot or whatever your ace hardware is right next to you. And then to actually get customers, I want to walk through the options that are here with this. So if you want to get sophisticated with this, what it ends up looking like is you basically optimize a Google My Business profile listing.
So with that listing, how you actually optimize that is you basically set up, you're going to need an address of some type. You can do a PO box. The best way is have some type of physical address. You can just tack it onto another business. So if you have a family member or something like that, that's the best way to do this. And then what you're going to then go do is you build citations for that business. So business citations, what these are basically... uh, websites that are like business directory websites. If you go to fiverr.com, just Google, you know, just search in Fiverr, like business citations, you're going to find a guy, you're going to pay him 30 bucks and he's going to make 300 citations for you.
