Thanks much Aaron
Looking to get started by NEXT week if not this week. I’m just reaching out to see where to finance the equipment
@@onpointwithjay139 let’s go Jay
Thank bro.
Lol I’m here in Nashville so I’m try stay out your way lol
@@onpointwithjay139 oh yea? Get in the IC bro. We got some Nashville guys you need to be connected with.
Ok I’m getting paid soon so I’ll get in then.
I pick up my $17k trailer this Thursday. Full soft wash power wash setup. Knowing I have that payment coming up puts my back against the wall. I have been knocking on doors and hitting local businesses up already; I have 3 roofs in my neighborhood booked (for shit money but those are customers) and one bank booked already. LETS GO!
Get after it
Let’s go man! Good luck I’m about to make the jump myself
Hey man, Hows it working out for you?
@@Woojay74I think he went bankrupt 😅
This video needs to be watched by all who need business motivation, or even the guys who are struggling. I watched many of your vids, basically all of them but THIS is the gold.
Thank you.
Agreed Joseph!!!
Thanks for putting out the content that you do. I’m selling my Harley that I was so proud to get, and financing a trailer this year. There can always be a Harley in the future, but it ain’t gonna make money. Thank you for the inspiration and the time you put in to helping others. It means a lot to many people other than myself
You’re very welcome brother
Great advice I started with the 4gpm simpson! First upgrade was a proprtioner and softwash pump. Immediately jumped to the honda bandit 5.5 rinse times cut in half. This year dual axle 8gpm upgrade and on and popping.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your progress
I’m watching this looking at a used 4.2GPM but know inside I need to invest and bet on myself! Thank you 🙏
2 years later and your steel inspiring bro. Thank you currently I'm scared to death, broke his hell and praying all my hard work will ay off.
Just started some small jobs landed a Fleet wash gig every week.
Super excited about that. Don't have the credit to get the great equipment so doing it bare bones... I've always worked for someone else. Im 48 its never to late. ❤
I hope it's working out for you.
Thanks for the follow-up. Things are working themselves out. That fleet wash turned into a 20k a year contract and now working on a management company that has some gas stations. I'll have to get better equipment soon... thank you again for your inspiration.
Powerful video. It’s gonna help a lot of people. Great stuff as always AP!
Great video man. It's inspiring to hear such amazing come-back stories.
the only thing I would add is that anyone who wants to do this needs to make SURE that this is what you want to do before you put yourself in debt.
It's easy to get motivated by videos to start something, but the people that make money in any industry are the ones that persist. Consistent effort and dedication.
What if you get 25k in debt, and realize after 1-2 months that you feel miserable being out in cold weather, and you hate being wet all the time and really don't like having to bid and compete with other companies. Or what if you just suck at managing finances? trust me, you'll need to at least be semi-proficient in this, or come tax day your life will be hell.
Now your stuck with 25k in debt and the only way out of it is to do something you do not enjoy, or sell it at a loss.
I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from starting this kind of business. I think it's great. But you also have to be realistic about yourself and what you are willing to do. not willing to do today or tomorrow, but willing to do for the next 5 years, every day.
Aaron had the advantage of serious motivation, a need for income, and had spent time doing windows and renting equipment before he jumped in the deep end. So he'd already given himself time to decide if he was capable of doing the work. If you're on the fence, I'd highly recommend starting with the basics and see if it's something you want to do, and then rent gear for bigger jobs for awhile. If not, then at worst you have a small power washer and a few pieces of gear to sell. If it works for you, at that point I'd consider the larger rigs.
But also keep in mind that equipment doesn't guarantee results. every person I see on utoob that has great success in any business has done it through their own sweat. building client base, selling yourself, advertising, whether it's door to door or pamphlets or whatever, it's putting the heel to the pavement that results in business success. It's only after this that the nice equipment makes the difference. You can make money with a 400$ power washer if you know how to sell yourself and work within your limits. But if you don't know how to business yourself, you can absolutely fail miserably with 30k in gear.
I’m in the process of getting my equipment. I love y’all’s videos and am about to go all in. I currently work in the wastewater business driving vacuum trucks. So I’m used to working a shit ton of hours. Bro I’m excited.
This is very motivating thanks Aaron I love your videos man be blessed
Great video and great advice brother. That’s what I did financed my first Equiptment. I was having second thoughts but you’re right about buying the right tool for the job
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bet on yourself! Damn that hit hard... Good content keep it up.
🙏🏼 we shall
Great video brother. Appreciate the motivation for self-betterment.
I’ve been watching you for months and never knew you had a music career. That’s pretty cool man!
I don’t talk about it much. Thanks bro
Thank you for your videos. This will be my first venture on my own and it's a good feeling knowing these videos are out there.
Yeeet
Out of all the videos ive seen on this business, this one is by far the most inspirational. 💰👍
Love to hear peoples testimonies and success stories, Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh yes
Yes it's worth it. I get to support you now. God's in charge. Love you and blessings
First video I've ever watch from you.
Subscribed immediately, it just feels like you were talking to me.
The fears, enceity and all the above just kicks in.
Don't know why but I've been doing research on all these powerwashing stuff and just won't get my self to invest a little.
In short, thanks for the words on encouragement brother! God bless you!
Leggo bro
Been timid to follow your lead, and then saw this video! Thank you for the motivation to keep growing and moving forward
No one is conning to help you!!! So true, so real!!🔥🔥🔥
Glad you did that one. I am just starting out and it has been overwhelming getting everything in order but it is coming together. You are exactly right I have bet on everyone else. Keep it coming. Soon I will have all this part behind me and I will be out selling on foot with long term goal of digital equity. Over and out
You got this!
How has it went Mark?
@@Rsave7Corp Well! 42k on books and some cash too. The desk side and business running side getting clearer. Leaving Alabama back to Washington today from Washcon meeting. Working in a restaurant now for a couple more weeks but super excited about second-year business and going to get out knocking and hustling and have some other ideas as well. And it's not that the overwhelming stuff has been easy but it hasn't been as complicated as I think it is and it's mostly just jumping in and do it like the first time using a smartphone and now it's like nothing. If you're thinking about going into business I'd say go for it! I have a 45 credit college thing that never did me anyting but the local domination course for about four hundred bucks changed my whole life. Best wishes
@@markhilby4024 Wow man great for you! That's awesome. So these courses are legit huh? It's tough to think there's $400 worth of value when the funnel page looks like every other scammy looking guru course. I just want to learn to ins and the outs of how to actually wash. I want to learn what I don't know I don't know. Forums and videos can only teach so much. I have lots of great ideas and some experience in the other areas. I've also got ~50 college credits that have done me jack yet. How many calls/week were you getting in the first month and how many led to close? Out of that 42k what was your net or average profit percentage after job specific and yearly expenses? Are you confident in bringing that up to 80-100k? Starting out how long did some of the simple jobs take like house wash compared to how fast you know they can go from hearing from others? Good you hear you're gonna quit that job man its nice to hear others doing well. How long is your wash season? I'll only get about 6 maybe 7 months here where I live so it can be daunting. I'm considering moving in with a family member for a few months in a warmer state to try and get hired at a company so I can get paid to develop experience instead of vice versa. Sorry for all the questions, cheers Mark!
@@Rsave7Corp They are totally legit
Their is a reason the funnels look the same: it is working to sell. A year w these guys has me thinking and looking at things like that differently
I did get faster, and will be almost twice as fast this year w upgraded set up
We made over 10k cash, but will show red for taxes, or little profit. We have debt but lots of it was personal stuff. The returns are their and we had $1000 days
You can only get so much on TH-cam for free, there is help there but it's not organized into a cohesive chain of teaching series. I made $950 in graffiti removal using a special chemical I learned in Local Domination, paid $250 for 5 gallons and have 4.5 gallons still
The liability section of what to watch out for super value
I was out hustling knocking doors hanging flyers, I did get work off website though and have some weekly repeat work coming up again
The Facebook marketing in Local Domination would have done better than knocking doors but I was so unfamiliar with social media not being on it I hired someone else to make my page and then I've learned it the past year though. So I'm going to be doing that and knocking doors and I made doing every door direct Mail depending on finance
I never sat around and just waited for people to call me though I've been hustling
But I couldn't it have did it without Aaron and the guys I can't say enough good things about these know it's not a scam. I wouldn't call it easy but it can be done it's just that sales mindset of don't quit
I just got back to home been on an airplane for hours smelling Funk and glad to be home!
They offer a lifetime membership to a Facebook group called inner circles and you get all their courses immediately if you buy that if I had to go back and do it over I would have did that they didn't offer that till later I was buying the course has left and right after I seen action on the first one and I'm not even complaining
I still spent thousands of dollars to go down and meet them in person and soak it all up again and learn some more new things at wash, and it was worth every penny
There's not too many industries you can go out and make $100 an hour and more I'm going to try to get my prices up that was my goal or 500 a day a bad day was 50 an hour. One month was over $15,000
But I give credit to these guys and I'm going to try to get out of debt this year but I had a lot of new equipment marketing just a whole bunch of stuff and personal stuff it's going to come together though I'm totally confident we can double it this year
Take action bro- you can do it
Also, just one more thing I came to a point in my life $400 seemed risky but I was tired of counting on other people to give me a break or hire me
It never hurts to be cautious but you have to be willing to take risks
Where I was if I lost the $400 I really wouldn't have lost everything but we've gained and are gaining has changed our lives
And if you get in this group I'm talking about you'll meet so many other people saying the same thing this isn't a scam this is for real and now that I've met these guys in person and some in the Facebook group it's going to be more like family than a Facebook group thing
You can do it man go for it
Awesome videos, definitely have me wanting to start this journey. Planning to move to Clarksville, TN in the next 6 months and get started there.
He’s back!!!!
Seeekahhh
This is good advice. Definitely betting on myself from here on out!
Listen to this guy 🙏💪
Thank you for the inspiring words, just getting my first jobs this month.
Good stuff young man! Yeah I'm 42 fixin to launch here coming up... I have no choice , my babygirl needs empire and all the work I'm doing 7 days a week isn't going to cut it. I do good compared to many , all things combined over 70 last year but ...... ain't happening I need real funds, I'm coming
With a Rebel Yell!! Hell Yeah!! Great video.
Good evening. I have been watching you on and off for a while now. some of your videos, for me, are "ehhhh". But I am NOT here to bash you. This video is the best one you've done that I've watched, and potentially the best one I have seen from anyone. You're genuine. You're real and I can see it in your eyes on this video. I absolutely NEEDED to see this video.
I've been trying to half-ass this as a side gig because I have a koosh regular job that I get paid too much for what I do. I basically work half of the year (shift work), so I can have two jobs rolling, right? Nope, because like you, I finally finalized my divorce back in March and now I have my kids on my days off (which I absolutely cherish).......... so guess what? Washing took a third seat.
I absolutely needed to see this video tonight, thank you!!!!! I have been contemplating leaving the koosh job because of the benefits for the kids. I have 25K, give or take after the penalties in my 401K, to use to get started. I have been trying to research the last few years and I've done maybe a dozen jobs total. That's not a lot, but it's enough for me to realize the satisfaction and love I have for washing.
Anyway, sorry to ramble, but this video hit me square in the nuts tonight. I will be digging in more to your stuff. I'm sure I'll be picking your brain in the future. Thank you and the guys for what y'all do.
Yeah we’ll talk soon in the inner circle!!!!
Leggo
Amazing video bro.
all these videos just crack me up.
We have weirdly similar stories but I'm 28 years old and at the beginning of mine lol I have fallen on hard times and decided to as you sed bet on my self for once I'm living in my van and this week I sold my other car to get a 4gpm pressure washer iv already have to good jobs set up and they know I don't have the equipment yet lol.but thanks for your story man it definitely put some more faith in me being able to bank on myself and be successful. Wish me luck and congrats on your success story man your awsome
I’m spending 60k of my hard earned money buying a trailer, truck decals etc… I’m all in on this thing and I’m believing I’ll make it all back within 2 years and then it’s off to the profits (side business, can’t quit the 9-5 yet)
Edit: also 100% agree with you and your dad, buy equipment that will earn money. It’s the new work horse… don’t be afraid of it, those things pay for themselves.
Outta curiosity, how's it going? Still in the biz? What part of the country are you in?
I made myself with a predator 420 and a 20” surface cleaner knocking on peoples door after I got off work from my full time job. That lasted a few months until I knocked on the wrong door. Then I learned and perfected the log maintenance market. Now I have a 9gpm, my 5th predator 420. Two gun and gas softwash. All on a beast 2015 f350 drw 9ft utility. A hemi 2500 single cab on 35s. Brand new 6x12 and 7x16 all paid off, all of it. I had less than a thousand bucks to my name 2 ish years ago. Working for myself saved my life and now I slay any and all log cabins i come across.
Let’s gooo
How have predators held up for you vs honda's?
God bless, dude speak the truet u got it goin on.... thank u for the good words...
Ty
*Bet on yourself*
literally the best motivation to anyone on the fence of starting any business.
I loved everything that you said in this video. Im brand new, just ordered my equipment last week. So I haven't even Pressure wash anything yet, so with that said, should I be lining up gigs right now, so I can hit the ground running? Or should I practice on family and friends first?
Definitely practice on friends and family so you can learn your setup. Along with how fast you can go.
Great video. Straight to the point and transparent. What advice would you give to someone who doesn't have a truck or a van? Fleet lease, rental, trade daily driver in?
I have 1 success biz and just dumped 10k into drain cleaning equipment and I’ve never cleaned a drain in my life………but I’m no slouch.!
So I half feel your pain.
You’ll be profitable. For sure.
Dude I have told everyone that you are the best I would trust your advice over those other three guys in your local domination course no offense to them but you and me are very similar in the fact that I also went in debt quite a bit and this is my first year in business as a legit entity, keep up the encouragement!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Where is the music at brudduh? Can we go back and listen?
My music. TH-cam it.
love ya Aaron! Thank you!
That’s some Great advice right there!
Thank you I am starting my own pressure washing business here in Jersey
Thanks man 2 months in the game now.
Aaron I take value in your videos you keep it real and don't speak bull shit. Love the videos brotha can't wait to get your course and get my business off the ground. I'd love to see what you think I should charge I have my first client his house is fucking big and wants alot done would love to get your advice on it.
Join the Inner Circle cuz.
Awesome Video- Ty!
Thank you
I've been researching this for a few days now. Same boat in a way, divorced, and with bills and all of that, I'm $600 in the whole every month. This seems like the ticket and I absolutely love this idea but it is scaring the living crap out of me. Definitely going to keep going through the core 4 of yalls videos. I would love to come down for a few days and watch one of yall. I'm in Kansas from a small town so I'm going to have to travel for jobs but idk. Idk why I'm rambling, scared but excited that I might how found my niche.
Get to work
great stuff man thank you
I just got a 3 gpm machine. I was gonna start a business, but the truck decided to take a crap on me. And now I gotta save up just to get my truck fixed lol
Thanks man. I got my trailer and all my equipment sadly my truck engine locked up.. Lol
What’s better a trailer or a truck
Happy Thanksgiving
ive got 600 in the bank, how can i put this into a pressure washing biz, or should i do sba 7a to borrow 5k to build a nice softwash setup.
Doing great 👍 fully active 💯 King 👑 stay blessed 😉👌 positive vibes 👻
This was a good video. Thinking about getting a big rig now. And taking that course!
How do you recommend getting a rig? Is there a best place to buy them fully equipped? Van vs truck?
Southeast Softwash is the best.
There's a big difference between what you want, what you need and what you can afford.
I have been building my stuff little by little and I'm doing good with what I got. I need to put money in marketing my name out there. After that I'm upgrading and actually thinking about a new truck so I can have 2.
Hey brother I just filed for my LLC last night in the state of Florida! I don't have the big rig or anything crazy like that but I did get myself the BE Professional 4000 PSI Business Kit w/the Surface Cleaner etc with the Cargo Van. Wish me luck! I plan on scaling up using what!
Let’s gooo
As a southern guy from GA the “naw pay it off in cash man” is 100% accurate 😂
Aaron, your videos are amazing. You have shown use all the way! #Lean&Mean
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you brother
How much do you charge for the loading bays? Theres a place i know with near 100 shutter panel doors/bays, price per door? Thanks
SUPERB!
Did you ever get any contracts that paid you in advance whether it was partial or full? And if so what are the manic words or pitch I need to have that happen for me?
I’m so ready to start my business. Love your videos
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good word Aaron !
hey mate what size Honda engines do you run that put out 4 gallons per minute just trying to sus out what I'm going to buy?
cheers 😎👊
I just got my LLC and insurance I have a hotsy 4.8 gpm 3500 PSI looking into a 12 volt softwash system I also have the xjet.. thanks for the info.
I love this thanks
Is Mini Pro Max too big of an investment if I want to start off with weekends until I can quit my regular job and do full time.
Honestly one good sized job can pay for a mini. You just have to know the potential of this business
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy My main issue will be able to price properly. I want to do pressure wash, soft wash roof/houses, wash solar panels
Thanks for these videos! What is the "scary" part for most people that you're talking about? And what's the best way to stick with it?
This one right here just added a ton of fuel to my fire! 🔥Your a badass dude, I love your videos. I’ve learned so much from you and the inner circle ⭕️ guys. I’ve been watching and learning from y’all the last year and a half, i came across yours first O.G.⬆️ I decided to bet on my self this year and start my business. your such a genuine person. your story is inspiring, I appreciate you sharing it along with all your wisdom and experience. 🤙🏻 my favorite line in the video “if your not a communist” 🤣 hell yeah, say it like it is! #FREEDOM #AMERICANDREAM #LETSGOBRANDON
Thank you Casey.
Great stuff
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Building my first trailer with a 10gpm IGX800 and an AR45 to start. No short cuts, time to make it happen. "Bet on yourself!"
Nice video, Aaron. Business debt is not like personal debt. You gotta pay to play. Build your credit, build your business. Most guys that will shun using credit, probably have 500-600 FICO scores-- and can't obtain credit (Who's fault is that? Unless it's a divorce, of course...risky business with that. Or, a medical bankruptcy which happens daily to many Americans sadly) 20k is nothing. I have cleaned windows at restaurants opening up that put in 600k to remodel and everything- only to shut the doors 1 year later.
And, if you have GOOD credit.....many business credit cards out there. I use American Express and Chase. Both came with 0 percent INTRO apr for 18 months. Meaning you don't pay interest, because you bet on yourself and you know you will pay it back before the introductory period is over. Never pay out of your own pocket!!!! Use the bank's money....they use yours!
Spending a few thousand to get the tools you need, is not the same as buying something for your personal needs (Like a watch or something I see guys showing off with). Few seem to understand that difference-- the tools are going to MAKE you money, the thrills and frills and the showing off-- doesn't. You also don't want to buy things you don't NEED. Many people make the mistake...congrats, you spent a lot of money-- how are you going to make it back? (By believing that you aren't going to fail-- Very simple mentality!!!!) Believe in yourself, and others will follow. Lead by example, and don't be afraid to copy what others do-- NOBODY has reinvented the wheel in any of these industries-- just added some new tweaks and computer chips. That's like new guys getting into pure water window cleaning and saying "It's a new technology, state of the art!!!!!"...The truth is, it has been around since the 1940s lol. I always say "You got it right, it's new technology...to them" and laugh it off.
Cheers brother, like your content. Keep on keeping on!!!!!
Haha Send us your music bro! That music video was legit!
Lol check Aaron Parker VEVO
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy sick!
I’m sold I’m buying a second trailer 🙌
Did you buy a soft wash machine or did you have something to connect with the 8 gpm
Thanks for your videos- they're super helpful. I'm seriously considering starting a pressure washing and gutter cleaning business. Just wondering how much a hard-working dude with an 8gpm setup can make in an average day/week?
Also, (this might be a stupid question) what if the flow rate of my town's water supply is only 6GPM?
A bit of a late reply. But a buffer tank is what you want. If you're using something that pulls more than 6 gpm then it would be worth it to get an ibc tote
You’ve came a long way brother🔥💰💰 Hope I get this same luck here in Nashville 🔥🔥
You can. Let’s make your luck
yoo Arron can you check out this rig im about to finance ? just want to know if you think its a decent set up for a nice piece of change
Is it a SESW rig?
Good morning brother, I'm kind of new in the business, I see you mentioned that you got truck or trailer financed. Could you please send me the info. Thank you

Hey Aaron. Love you videos. A wealth of information. Wondering if any of your inner circle ⭕️ are from Australia 🇦🇺. I’m looking at starting my own pressure washing business with a borrowed 10Lt/min (2.5G/min). I know this is a pretty small unit but hey, you gotta start somewhere right.
Hell yea we got guys in there from Oz. Start with what you got!
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy thanks for the quick reply mate. Really appreciated. Too often you leave a comment and it’ll be months, years or never that you get a response back.
I’m looking to do it as a side hustle to start with. Any initial profits I make will go directly to paying off my credit card. Once that’s gone, it’ll be $120/month I won’t need to pay out. This taking a bit of pressure off my day to day living expenses.
Then my plan is to upgrade my equipment. Allowing me to do jobs quicker and to a higher standard. Eventually I’d like to take it full time. I’ve been working retail for 27 years and it’s well and truly time for a change.
Thanks again for all your inspiration mate.
@@rmar127 we get alottt of comments. Wishing you success.
What is considered high ticket?
How are you going to adjust to the increase of gas prices for this year?
Keep working that's something you can't control don't waste time complaining
Great vid man. 👌
Good video
I have a tribal connection, with 2 casinos, a half million sq ft parking garage, as well as a Real-estate connection. I have 50k to invest. Where would you start.

I picked up a Karcher HDS 1000BE 4.1 gal a minute. Is this something I could get started with? Or would I be better off upgrading the pump?
Should be fine to start
Your amazing dude! I love your videos. Thank you. My biggest problem now is finding jobs. I'm only getting 3-4 jobs a week making like $1000 to $1500 working for like 10 hours a week. I need a full 40 hour week. how's the best way to get Infront of more people? I'm on Angi, (i used to work for them for 4 years) thumbtack, and then all my social media pages. What is your best advice for getting more jobs than just doing a great job?
Find yourself a digital marketer like myself . Let me know if you need some help with that .
It’s awesome that you charge $1500. What all is included? Just the house? Driveway too?
Who did you have do your Google ads?

You think with the way the economy is going is it a good time to start?
Always. Don’t be at effect, dictate.
Wheres the link to the music video
How were you landing so much work with out the funds
Shoe leather early on
Good to see you back on vids. Sell me your old 8gpm machines ( at least 1) I got a hospital, 2 big churches and 2 banks to do by end of next month with a 4k/44 Simpson. 😳
Btw rascal flats! 😉
SHIIII! Thats big money Greg! Good to hear from you.
Solid video brother! Your testimonies inspire me to hit the ground running. I purchased the “How to Wash” bundle and contract and have been chatting with Mike. I just finished my trailer build and got everything dialed in and have begun washing. I’m currently working to save the money to join the inner circle when it opens if you all will have me. Keep on keeping on and praying for continued success for you in the future! 👊🏻💪🏻😎
Join up dude it’s open for a few more days I think. bit.ly/PWIC21
