Yes Exactly what people need

I heard a saying about 40 years ago that applies to this video: "experience is something you get about 30 minutes after you needed it".

A good way to come back from something like this is to play the "I want the job to turn out perfect" card. Say to the customer "hey, normally this amount of bleach is perfect, but your algae on your home is especially tough, so I am going to go get some more bleach so I can get it extra strength" turns it from an "im unprepared and out of gasoline" to "I was prepared for the standard clean, but you need something better, let me take care of you." If you fit in the "I wanted to make sure it was perfect" line, that makes customers happy. If I'm ever slow at work, like an hour behind I find a way to fit that in so the client is less annoyed about the work taking long. Most clients just want it done right.

Excellent response. I’m bookmarking this as a reminder. I do renoes and there are always times when things go long/hard/pain. It’s hard not to blame the work/job as you are problem solving. But that’s never what the customer needs to hear. 👍

I was just about to say this. Just tell the customer that you're new (be honest) and you want to take your time to get it right. Also, don't make a promise on timing until you're experience, ALWAYS high ball it, NEVER low ball the time it will take.

He used the ‘lady in the thumbnail’ as mocking something he may soon need to do himself in the near future on behalf of himself and rampid crime allowed to flourish because of liberal DA’s inabilities to put scumbags in jail where they belong! The lady’s image was Patricia McCloskey who along with her husband was defending their property outside of St.Louis against a gang of thugs that trespassed onto their property to create damage and inflict harm! That is the shit we get in liberal controlled cities where no one is allowed to defend themselves against thugs! The dude that made this video and used that thumbnail is concerned about making himself lots of money but has no clue what being indoctrinated he is!

I was asked to wash a restaurant's carpet. I had the equipment, but like you, it was my first time. The owner told me they had never had the carpet cleaned. To come find out the restaurant was built in the early 80's. Here it is 2006. I told him I could clean it, but it would take two days. The one side was super easy, the other half was super dirty. What I did not tell him was I left a bunch of soap in the carpet after the first day just to allow it to do a deeper cleaning. Even with the extra soap it took me every bit of that second day to completely clean the other half. It was a hands on experience for sure.

I worked at a place with such bad carpet there were black areas that had so much food and drink spilled on them over the decades, that it was completely rubberized into a lumpy layer that would be impossible to remove. It was a tear-out job when they finally decided to do something. I'm talking 1/2 inch of lumpy black tar.

I liked all the transparency and honesty about your work. Ironically you clickbaited me by putting an angry woman in the thumbnail. You have good content just don’t trick people into clicking 😂

The rotary nozzle on the pressure washer is the most valuable and effective tool for deep cleaning concrete. Keep several on hand as they do not last forever.

That's how we learn. Learn a little with every mistake.

I noticed even after the last spraying there were still squares of dirt and lines of clean. I think maybe if you went a little slower with the initial cleaning with the spray head there would be a better looking outcome. It's good that you went both directions, vertical and horizontal, but you need to go slower for these hard-to-clean areas. Sidewalks are easier because they don't get the heavy traffic that driveways get. Just a word of advice from an old-timer.

I hear ya brother that driveway did not look finished. I don’t know what GPM he is running but with how soiled that driveway was it looked like he was going a little too fast even for an 8 GPM unit. Maybe with a longer dwell time and going a little slower might have made a difference.

I borrowed my husband’s little domestic karcher. I ended up in a right mess, dirt all up the walls and over me, I was soaked and could hardly see out of my glasses. Haha. Did it though.

Storytime?... This was your first day and a sneak peek into the start of your business journey as a road scholar. That was an amazing story. You will go far in life because you have the mental awareness that if you don't know the answer you do know where to go get the answer. And YOU DO NOT GIVE UP; NO MATTER WHAT. Your grandkids will love this story.

Awesome video. I started two businesses 1st power washing-added sealing, roof cleaning, reworking & sealing pavers. Then a Co. cleaning only wood shake roofs + PW. Used to work my ass off while learning. Amazing how many custormers notice any delay in productivity and you sometimes have to explain to them, your trying to do te job with the least amount of Chem's or damage, as I had the opposite problem you had some times. I started with 3000psi @ 8.8 GPM up to 200 degree monster power washer! So before I bought variable guns I would destroy edges of lawns etc from massive flow LOL!! so much stress! after a few years I had to close my Businesses in Nor-Ca. water shortage then terrible emplyee's made me finish last eight big jobs by myself. I know exactly how you felt when you recieved a decent check. I started too big, you did it the right way by working your way up equipment wise. God Bless

Bro, I respect your hustle! You really deserve all the success that comes your way! 👍🏽

This is the best description, I so recall this stage of learning. I always recall that if you are explaining a task to a guy and you ask him if he has done it before - if he has never heard of it, he will say he has seen it done. If he's seen it done he will say he did it once. If he did it once, he'll say he's done it several times. And if he's done it lots times of he will nod.

Subscribed because you're honest and I appreciate that... You accept your faults and learn from mistakes! Nice job!
