is it possible to start a business that will replace your salary entirely in one day in this video we're going to find out my goal to make $384 a day and another one down another one B of dust why because if you have a $100,000 a year job that means that for 260 days you earned $384 I'm going to replace your salary of 100K today and we're going to do it live after hours and hours of searching for the best business the business is drum roll please power washing first we're going to figure out my price we're going to do market research then we're going to figure out what the plan is what are we actually going to sell and do and how do we make money third we're going to actually go do the thing we're going to do the project that we get paid to do finally we're going to power up so how do we get to the next level and get paid as much as humanly possible let's do this timer Starts [Music] Now step one here's where I'd start power washing companies located in Austin Texas I want to pull up a list of these bad boys cuz I'm going to call them and ask them how they quote actual services that I want to quote see if they answer the phone what's the over under that these bad boys do not even answer I think it's hi the mailbox belonging to 51 2 this is too good you guys this tells me this is a great Market these guys have a full mailbox they're the number one listing on Google let's go to the next one see what [Music] happens they should answer faster watching this I was wondering uh if I could get a quote for pressure washing my driveway in Austin yeah absolutely yeah who do I have the pleasure of speaking with this is a cheat code when starting a business do some market research could be a quick chat GPT search could be a call I ended up finding out this company would charge between 175 and 250 to clean a two-car garage driveway with the sidewalks included okay take care bye thanks first of all amazing accent I can't compete with that bad boy in Texas smooth like butter not fast though we're going to be way faster in fact it's the 27 we're going to be so fast we do same day and also 175 is pretty cheap but you can tell he wanted to upsell us which is what we're going to do I don't think we need to call anybody else we got this I'm going to have a three tiered pricing model you never want to have just one price you typically want to have three in a business so why do we want three because we humans usually like to take the middle price point if we have a high price point that's called anchoring which means that they see the value here they don't want to go cheap so they take the middle any small business that doesn't have this you're missing out on some cash so we already know at the low end is 175 bucks cuz that's what the guy was going to charge me for my 20x 40 standard uh driveway what I actually want is something in the middle that people are going to to buy and I told you before that I want it to be around 300 bucks so what I'm going to do is I'm going to put something up here that's like $4. 95 this is the premium the fancy the extra and in the middle we're going to have something that is 275 the number one thing I tell entrepreneurs my money rule is find God cuz this shit's hard go to the gym cuz you're going to need to be able to handle a little grit and raise your prices now anytime you start a new business you got to understand the market you got to understand your competitive landscape and you got to understand your customers slight issue I have never actually paid for pressure washing it's not just the type of person that buys pressure washing that's important it's what's called a Persona so finding the human that is going to want your service at the exact trigger point or what I call the nail and foot moment you could have a business where you sell water and if you're next to a drinking fountain that's not a very good business but if you're in the middle of the race is that a better business in a desert is that a better business in a desert in a race where somebody has money that's the best business so we got to find that nail and foot moment where there's so much pain and need that they are going to want your service I think we got lucky cuz it's summertime everybody's outside for the first time in Austin Texas they're going to want some pressure washing let's find that nail and foot customer now you got to know who you're going to Target here's what we're going to do we're going to go after painters maybe the idea is that they need the place to be cleaned before they can paint the second one we're going to go after reals if you are selling a house you need that bad boy to look good and sometimes even when you are buying a house you need to come in and have somebody clean it up before you get in it especially in Texas all these spiders everywhere and lastly mobs this is going to be our biggest target I think they're home during the day or in the middle of the week so this group I think is going to be our best Target Target let's see if I'm right we are motoring already okay so typically at this point I would call a competitor in a different Market that wouldn't be immediately competitive and I would steal their homework you know I'd ask them hey how do you do this what's going on and because they're not a direct competitor you'll be shocked how many times they will tell you now the interesting part about uh today's day and age is you don't actually need to make a phone call anymore because there's this thing called Reddit the power washing sub segment is called power washing porn natural now what's fascinating here is if you look here they have a ton of things you need to know on starting a power washing business in fact they have flowcharts on how to actually do power washing they have how to sell clients they have how a power washer that's good works how a bad one works also they have a bunch of people that you can reach out to individually and say hey can I get your advice so that's what we're going to do right now since I'm trying to start this business in a weekend I needed to make sure what I was choosing to do is quote unquote easy there are more than enough places to find howto content but I can't rabbit hole for that long cuz we're on the clock let's [Music] go step two let's figure out how much money exactly we need to make you going to help let's do a spreadsheet I love spreadsheets on this Le hand side we've got revenue products 1 through three we've got the costs for each of them 175 to 4. 95 we've got the quantity of each of them so how many are we going to sell and then we've got the total how much money do we make if we sell this quantity let's say that we only sell two two of our mid-tier products and two of our high tier products that means we make 1,540 bucks remember we have the cost of like 680 cuz we're going to buy all that stuff which means we make about $860 if we sell four products that's amazing but let's say we only sell I don't know three of our mid-tier products we still make 145 bucks now how do we get to our perfect number which is 380 we basically need to sell four numberers two products and we make 420 bucks so that's more than $100,000 a year and also check this out so let's say we do the exact same thing but instead of buying we rent for 330 that means we only need to sell three of those mid-tier products we've made $4.
95 and we are on our way to $100,000 a year business with power washing in one weekend so what's the plan here here's what I'm thinking we are first of all going to use my favorite strategy which is the foot in the door strategy one way to get your foot in the door subscribe to this channel we're going to get in front of these people with a small product like $175 and try to upsell them to $4. 95 it's way easier to get a big yes if you've already gotten a small yes second I'm going to go to residential not commercial because residential is easier to sell even though they're a lot smaller there's less Gatekeepers nobody's really in charge plus spending like 100 500 bucks much easier to get somebody to say yes to instead of a th000 we're we're going to go through a bunch of other strategies in the next part about how to get every single one of your clients one other thing important money rule sell things to rich people they pay more and they got a lot more cash so we're going to go to a fancy neighborhood also because it's Texas and I do not want to get shot all right one shot I do want to take is I need a website I don't want to do it right away but as soon as this gets rolling I don't want to spend hours learning how to build a website time is money baby we've only got one day to start a profitable business so I'm actually going to use hostinger to build our pressure washing website here's what I would do I would go through the onboarding process and select the AI website builder so that I can get their special services I would use the website creation tool super easy on the AI website builder all you do is enter your brand name select website type describe your business customize your website and then you can create something specifically for you to customize using Ai and their services really really cool even a heat maper maybe you could throw on an AI logo for $0 amazing that's why I use this service so you can go to hostinger. com cody1 use Cody 10 at checkout choose your preferred business plan create your account and then boom you've got a website now let's build this thing you can do all this and more at hostinger.
com C10 step three now it's time to get door knocking and Cold's calling to see if we can make any money but first money rule dress like a pro get paid like a pro and if you guys don't just have one of these hanging around turns out you can buy them for 36 bucks on Amazon throw a little hat on there and you become professional but now let's make some phone calls cuz the step one that's the easiest is go to your buddies and have them buy things from you I'm going to call some friends and see if I can get them to buy things from me hi this is I can't come to the phone right now let's call Vanessa now and see what she says hey Vanessa it's Cody what's going on hi hey quick question we just started this new pressure washing and Home Services business and I know you have like an araban be I was wondering if you have any like dirty outside areas we could come and pressure wash cuz that thing looks amazing but maybe Spruce it up for the summer oh man we have the perfect spot it's pollen just like Grime and we need it to look really good for our listings for the summer and the fall ah perfect okay so here's what I'm thinking um typically we're trying to charge people like 300 bucks for pressure washing but because you'll be one of my first friends and fam discounts I'm trying to make sure that I collect money even from my friends so I have a real business a hobby can I charge you 175 bucks instead of 300 and I'll pressure wash all of it yeah that's great that work for me all right amazing I will hit you up and schedule to come by later today all right we'll see you soon okay bye ah first sale success 175 bucks from a bud I think you'll be surprised how many of your friends if you say this line ah I've promised myself that I'm going to actually charge my friends for things so it's a real business not a hobby do you mind if I charge you half price they will say yes they're if they don't this is a good uh text wait this is a great text she says you're also welcome to have me like sign up for monthly to streamline all my properties cuz she owns a bunch of airbnbs and give her a bulk discount I think now we should call a realer that I've bought a house from before so basically we're going in concentric circles we're starting with people that I know even a little bit and we're going out to people that I don't know at all hey Cody hey Andre how are you I'm good and you doing good I have the most random request of all time if you didn't know me at all and you're being super super honest how often do you need pressure washing or window cleaning for your new houses to be frank with you like pressure washing not that often interesting so we'll see he said he's going to go and send it around to all of his people but it sounds like real lits might not be the play it might be more individuals hey Greg how's it going it's Cody hey Justin hey Lisa how's it going it's Cody hey Sam at this point I have $175 but I started to get nervous that I wasn't going to have time to make 384 but then I pulled a hattick and I had to make a special call to Steven the owner of Pink's cleaning hello hey quick question for you um if theoretically I had leads and I was to call pinks let's say for client leads in their area would you pay somebody for leads yeah you're saying like like for customers yeah right yeah yeah how much would you pay for a lead yep uh for lead cost right now it's like 70 or 80 okay six you'd pay me 70 or 80 bucks if I had like a verified that's our cost for a booked appointment so like a lead a lead's like 10 or 12 bucks but to get them actually scheduled I think it's around 70 okay okay so 12 bucks if it's just a lead but if it's scheduled ready to go 70 bucks yeah 70 80 bucks yeah all right not too shabby thanks man actually we had a ton of Success With Friends which is wild it took a lot of phone calls to actually get one person to agree to it but we're actually not going to count the monthly plan cuz you people might be like well I don't have a rich friend that has a bunch of houses so we're not even going to count it although that actually is what happened the next thing is we'll see what happens over the course of the day I just put a bunch of texts out I bet we get a few of them to respond to us in case you have no friends no family you know no one you work with nobody and you only want to do door knocking we're going to do door knocking and we're still going to create a $100,000 business a year let's do this got be look damn good o it says no soliciting on the door it also says no soliciting don't make it weird all right if I was a pro I definitely would have had a business card to leave in the door but I'm not that Pro yet no humans Another One Bites the Dust time's running out here got to get after it instant Panic instant panic I got [Music] though hey how's going going good I'm Cody I actually live in the neighborhood and uh we just started a pressure washing business and so since we're already cleaning a bunch of houses in the neighborhood we thought we'd come to yours I kind of noticed maybe your driveway needed a little pressure washing and because we're new to the game and you're a neighbor we were thinking usually we charge something like $4. 95 for this it's a long driveway if you're going to go all the way back so but uh since you're in the neighborhood something like 275 and then we we can schedule you to day I'll put it in here and we take payment when we actually deliver the service okay um yeah that sounds like a great deal I think you'll be interested in that deal okay let me get some details from you it's a sale okay here's the small issue which is that I was supposed to sell her the $4. 95 offer I totally freaked out I only sold her the 275 but that's okay that's probably more uh than we need but now we got to go knock on some more doors hello how are you great by the way we're running around the neighborhood cuz we're pressure washing one of the neighbors no okay well thank you another thing I just realized about this neighborhood I don't know if it's nice enough a lot of old houses I think we want to go with those that are a little bit nicer another one down she said we could go in the back and check it out because I think we might be able to do an upsell here there's more work than I thought that needed to be done right here all this fence redone so it looks nice I think we should try for that no brainer for that Back Fence they probably didn't want to paint it like they did here but we can clean that up so that fence looks like new the pool actually looks pretty good probably just to be nice though we do the edges and this by the way this place is sick look at this greetings from ATS so basically here we can do the fences we can clean up black paint obviously really really dirty get easily dirty here and I think this is a house we could charge $4.
