All facts! We are heading into our third year and have been working on growing the business and putting much of the money back into the business. However, things feel slower than last year and hoping it picks up. We are staring to offer other services and seems to be paying off. We now do junk removal, dirt and concrete pick up, re sale of items found on jobs, light demo, yard mowing and weed wacking and light tree service. Also we joined our local Chamber of Commerce and going door to door knocking and putting up yard signs. It’s a ton more work than what we have done to get work but seems to be paying off. Thank God we are rolling into spring and can see the potential of clients starting to come in. Sow good seeds and Reap the harvest!! Good luck out there everyone best of luck in 2024!!
Be careful with offering too many services it can hurt your business in some cases. Make sure you are making good profits or you may need to cut some out. Spring is starting off great for us this year with the warmer than normal temps and it should only get better from here. Best of luck to you as well!!!
Thank you for continuing to mention compensating for truck/dumpster costs whether you own or not. it's mind blowing to me how many people don't do this. Even guys who are trying to be the "face of the dumpster business" on TH-cam. Probably a big reason why so many folks go out of business and can't figure out why the profit is great until those bills come up.
This is highly overlooked! Imagine if you spent your cash and had to pay 10% interest on top of paying your investment back! this changes the #s so much no matter what the cash investment. If you invest alot of cash, lets say 500k that is 50k a year with no interest for 10 years. this makes a big difference and will change your mindset. The fact you own your equiptment is always a plus but that is assuming you realise it. Thanks for watching and your comment was a great one! I appreciate it
You are in a great position at your age to do great things! I started my construction company at your age and was the best decision of my life! Keep up the great work and you will be rewarded!
For me it’s a little different I’m retired have a pension which covers my living expenses. I built my trailer and bins so i don’t owe anything to pay off. Already owned my truck so i don’t need to make enough money from this business to cover mortgage and such. My weak points are technology and i hate answering the phone 😁but i have to keep improving my weak points. Good video 👍
This is why I say you have to know your expectations. You obviously know your expectations and they are different than most because of your situation. Nobody is perfect and we constantly have to work towards getting better! Thanks for watching!
Very informative! I'm just starting and am looking for an economical company to buy a few surety bonds from for my permitting process. Any recommendations on providers women's very much appreciated. Keep up the exact information!!
great video. can you elaborate more on how to get a good SEO person? what to look for ect..... everyone talks about it but how do you find someone you can trust? to many scammers out there. any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
I have lots of videos talkig about all sides of the business! I also do consultations. Your question is very vauge... If you are struggling, get help...If you need more business, advertise more....both "vauge" answers. Do you have a certain area of your business you need help?
Hi sir, I was watching a video on TH-cam when I came across your channel. I really like your videos. The quality of your videos is very good, but as a TH-cam expert, I noticed one thing: the views of your videos are decreasing. Then I researched your channel and found that your video's SEO score is very bad. Your video and I can see that your video is not SEO optimized because your video is not for targeted audience, your video gets less views and channel subscribers get less views. I can say as a TH-cam expert, if you can do SEO-friendly things for your channel and search videos like tags, hashtags, descriptions and keywords, your TH-cam channel and videos will grow faster. I think your TH-cam channel will fulfill your dream, if you want to improve TH-cam channel then I can help you. thank you
I am confused by this comment!? I can make videos about any subject I would like and dumpster rentals is right in my wheel house. I have to deal with newcomers in the business just like everyone else. I enjoy helping others and I put my opinions out on youtube...

Storing these dumpsters would cost a million dollars in California
I am sure it would cost more than where we are but you can find a place that fits your budget
Comment canceled…oh well. Focus on growing yours…it’s not your calling to help others get into the business.
Stop beating the dead horse.
