If you know anyone who does roofing, painting, landscaping, plumbing, electricians, home cleaning, window cleaning, grout, power washing, solar, car detailing, wrapping etc. SEND THEM THIS VIDEO LINK - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn7TZH1rebWtr5o

[@israelc583]

Any info on your guest in this video ?

[@danjenkins121]

Do you have the link for these guys social media pages?

[@realtomtomeny]

Brett: This is one of the single best podcast episodes I've ever seen. These guys are doing a great job on the front end, but don't yet understand the back end. They should be doing seller financing to their best employees, with an ongoing industry association membership at say, 3% of sales. This will make them teachers of small business owners on an ongoing basis. Big corporations cannot compete with networks of owner operated small businesses.

[@guitarwizard89]

Can you send me contact info for your guests?

[@mobjaw4455]

😂 Ryan realized how much he could make selling a course. Good for them. Best guests and info I've seen.

[@LesterDiaz]

This is one of the few podcasts where the host actually asks important questions. Great work, diving deep into the processes and how each step of the business works.

[@edla4967]

Thanks for writing this comment I was about to skip until I read this and I'm glad I watched it!

[@db0nn3r]

Dude you aren’t kidding. This guy actually has a sincere interest in the success of business of the people being interviewed. So many of these channels are straight click bait and social media profit driven with fluff superficial content of some rich guys they know.

[@mobjaw4455]

This is the best business interview I've ever seen Brett. Usually I get frustrated because a host doesn't ask the questions I want to know, but you absolutely nailed it.

[@TheBrettWay]

I really appreciate you saying that my friend thank you

[@danielhova7826]

@@TheBrettWayabsolutely killer job on this interview. I bet I’ve spent 50-60 hours watching these types of entrepreneurial interviews, this is hands down my favorite and most useful one.

[@RyanHoltz]

I have owned a marketing & media agency for 14 years now and we are selling that portion of the business and moving over to owning the businesses we actually market for. Great move by these gents! 👏🏽

[@benedson6553]

I have owned my own digital marketing business for 5 years and this video really opened up my eyes. I definitely want to expand into owning the business on that side as well.

[@RyanHoltz]

@@benedson6553 yeah we don’t really do marketing for other companies now. We just do marketing for our own in-house marketing companies. GAME CHANGEr!

[@gonzaloespinoza5258]

Finally, someone that doesn't just say all it takes its mindset to grow a business but actual in-depth steps. Great questions and very detailed answers.

[@joanebaptiste-cummins3207]

I love the in-depth questions Brett asks his guests. He really breaks things down and makes it plain. Still have to execute, but the first step is the how. GOOD STUFF

[@nicardosmith8053]

I can’t state how much value this one interview has! I rewatch this video regularly for steps to start.

[@elvistan6601]

I genuinely wasn't expecting the level of details that was shared in this podcast. Brett does an amazing job asking the right questions to uncover really crucial operational/marketing tips

[@Liz-vu6bt]

This has been one of the best interviews for strategy and business basics in the pool industry. This is information that has taken most business owners years to figure out, its amazing that these guys were able to turn it around so quick. Thank you for this amazing value!

[@nocapnobs7845]

I'm a recruiter but my god you're an excellent host and you ask EXCELLENT questions. I will watch this probably a few times, especially the ads/funnel stuff which is alien language to me but man you are incredible. Just the level of detailed questions you went into, the control you had over the whole interview etc. Bravo! Also when you asked about a list of all the types of businesses. I'm in Canada and as such a pool business is out of the question here :) Much love brother.

[@TheBrettWay]

this comment brought a tear to my eye thank you for such a sincere message. My goal is to make the underlying opportunity clear for anyone watching while also getting into the nitty gritty details of their specific business. Hopefully you found ways to apply what we talked about. Have a great day my friend!

[@macmorrow1463]

Snow removal is our Canadian pool business brother.

[@marcuswarkentin]

I’ve watched business podcasts for years and this one of the few podcasts that I’ve seen that actually goes super in depth on SPECIFIC strategies business owners used to grow their companies. So much value here - just subscribed 👍

[@meganrutter1989]

Ya this is the most valuable podcast I’ve ever found, by a long shot. Bravo 👏

[@ChanningChasko]

Great pod. I used to detail and recently started an agency helping local detailers and other businesses grow their online presence but things have been slow. This has me thinking of starting back up my detailing company and keeping my agency on the backend. Insane insight, love it!

Wow, for those of us who are very seriously starting our own businesses, this interview is amazing! I'm not running a pool cleaning business but similar one. The questions and format is so so valuable. Thank you!!

One of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched -you asked the best questions and they were so open and precise with detailing their processes! Kudos to all of you 🎉

I HAVE WATCHED 1,000'S OF HOURS OF PODCASTS LIKE THIS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER... NO JOKE... THANK YOU!

[@VarryWhiteVO]

Finally, a host whose brain works like mine. Liked how he kept the discussion streamlined and organized. And, the guests gave us a ton of game. I cant remember learning more from one video with this type of thumbnail.

[@polishasparagus7251]

Wow. Very nice for them to describe this like it were a masterclass- on youtube. Great job to Host and, especially, the Guests!

[@ACE123llc]

this has got to be one of the most valuable videos on youtube right now! i operate a remodeling business and they shared so much valuable tips that others just never directly share

[@joaquinlewis6248]

These guys are great I would definitely use them to run my online marketing program. Very open and professional...no shady buy my course angle. Thank you sir you earned yourself a subscriber.

[@darylwilliams6758]

I worked as a pool tech for a couple years (repair side), and i never relaised the amount of pools the cleanera could do in a day. The company as segmented in two so i never got to go out and actually clean pools. If you're mechanically inclined hot tub repair is a good market to tap into. I trained with a guy who only worked on hot tubs and he stayed busy year round. I really enjoyed the questions that were asked and much props to those guys for being open and really answering the questions and not trying to hide anything so you can buy a course. This was a very refreshing interview.

[@jamescc2010]

Great

[@kylevaubel3897]

Holy shit.. This might be the most value added video I have ever watched on youtube. Well done

[@rosegold.sunset4749]

INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW!! I really appreciated the breakdown of the tech stack/ software, this has been my biggest struggle with creating my home service business so thank you x100!! Kudos to these guys who have no social media and proving it can be done without all the flash and hype!!! xox

[@SuperMats85]

That whole video is amazing. Thank you for everything to you and to both those guys

[@ryanleedham7391]

THIS one was a banger. Another comment said you asked all the perfect questions in this pod; couldn't agree more👍

[@brad265]

This is great and the new generation needs to learn this stuff. One thing you didn't mention to acquire customers was door to door sales.

[@SapioAtheist]

Possibly the most applicable business start up content I have encountered. Thank you!

[@pierrewatches]

Brett you are a pleasure to watch and love the diverse nature of these pods. One day will be on here with you. Still get a few zeros to add but on the path.

oh thats awesome haha i jwant to provide the best business education and I think this is very overlooked by our generation. Did you pick up on anything new?

[@caiomoura9637]

@@TheBrettWay Yes, very interesting his lead gen process, most people on the industry only grow by word of mouth. I’ll definitely try this lead gen process like he does. What I did not quite understand was if he uses GHL, why does he use unbounce for landing pages? If he can connect unbounce with twilio, why would he need GHL?

[@TheBrettWay]

@@caiomoura9637 i would assume he learned unbounce early on in his career and became more proficient with it and then when he started go high level it was just habit. Im sure it was just a personal preference and not really an overly tactical choice. Just do whatever gets the job done. He likes go high level because he can have sub accounts accross his different companies - pool cleaning, pest control, car detailing and painting

[@aaronhewlett2067]

This is awesome content. Super detailed and engaging. Subbed

[@AlisaLewis]

Great Video and tremendously helpful for those of us who are looking for a simple business that has a massive appeal- the one question I have is are the employees sub-contractors? because I have heard of the outsourcing, subcontracting model, where the independent contractor has their own tools and truck and accepts assignments. I guess there are many models to implement in the home business sector. Again great video and continued success.

A marketing master class. Bravo

Did you need to create an llc for each business or can it be under a home services llc to start operations? Of course having separete llcs would be optimal for liability protection. Do you need insurance for each business or is there a policy that covers home services in one policy? Ty!

[@smmtessa]

I could not see any other host as amazing as Brett when it comes to asking the right and important questions to entrepreneurs. ❤ LITERALLY! Like I saw this interview with Dan Koe where the host use WGMI studio, that’s why I thought it was familiar but the host is not Brett. I watched the whole vid cos’ I love Dan but I’m really not feeling the questions from the host, I don’t know, I can’t watch any other interview vids now and not ending up comparing them to Brett. In my mind I always say ‘Brett could have done it better’. 😢 I kinda wish he’s also gonna do interview with Dan Koe.

Im a 40 year veteran in the Pest Control Business. PCO business is very profitable IF you know how to do it correctly. It is a very technical business.Sooo, I would suggest buying one & let a KEY person (that is tenured & knowledgeable) execute the day to day AND You mange the KPI's . Let me know if I can be of help answering question in either Pest Control or Turf (Lawn) & Ornamental Businesses. Blessings, Hamp

[@soquick69]

As someone who has 20 years in the pest control industry. If they apply the same principles they did in the pool industry they won't last long. Pest Control takes expertise and know how in addition to a safety culture. Claims will kill you. If they are doing 10min trips good luck.

[@jamescc2010]

Great show with valuable info. I think if you don’t want to do on the service work, you can just have some sort of marketing website and just sell leads to different service companies.

[@talhashahid5668]

Doesn’t GHL have landing page builder as well? Why not use that? Just wondering …

[@adamwhitfield5571]

Yeah man, this is one of the very few podcasts, where the host ACTUALLY asks questions we want to know, that have value to us. AND the guest answered them detailed as if he really wanted you to know the helpful answers! I am impressed. Theres alot of bait, over promise, then intentionally avoid giving real info. Well, unless you pay for it of course!
