Trust me. The lesson comes. Uh, my buddy calls me one day and he goes, Hey, we fired our pressure washing contractor. Do you want the contract? Sure. Went out and bought a $15,000 pressure washer. No idea what I'm doing again. And started cleaning these gas stations. Just started learning. YouTube University definitely helped me that time. Started learning, started learning.

So I'm cleaning carpets during the day, working on houses during the day. And then I'm out pressure washing gas stations all night. I'm working myself to death. and fast forward, you know, quite a few years, this went on a few years. My wife, again, I'm so busy. I have no time to pay attention to anything. I'm trying to, you know, run all this stuff.

I have at this time, I have probably eight or nine trucks out on the road. We're doing bathroom remodels, all this kind of stuff. My wife goes through my books without me knowing I was losing $20,000 a month. And I had absolutely no idea. Whoa. There was so much money coming in and so much money going out. I didn't even know how to read a PNL. Where were you leaking money? Um, materials, fuel.

I just, I just, I wasn't running a business efficiently. I was overpaying on labor. Insurance was crazy. There was not just one thing. Right. And so, um, She was like, you need to figure this out fast. But it was, it was like a constant game of robbing Peter to pay Paul credit cards. Right. So like everything that I was doing was pretty much on net 30 or net 45.

So I'd get paid from those jobs, go pay off my credit card and then use that credit card to go fund the next job. Yeah. And so it was just that constant game. But there was money coming in and going out all the time. It felt like I had money. Yeah, I didn't. Right. And so just in 2020, end of 2021, we shut everything down to just focus on pressure washing.

And this is where that go deep or go wide thing kind of funnels in. Right. Uh, I only had that one account, which was at that time, eight stores because they had acquired two more. And so it was like probably close to $7,000 a month. I was like, okay, I can live off this. Like I'll figure it out. And so that was three, four years ago, and now.

The CPA, hiring a good CPA and a good bookkeeper to reconcile my books does wonders because now everything is broken out.
