Description

The  Christmas Lights industry has a dirty secret: 90% of businesses that start never make it past their second year. But it's not for the reasons you think.

After coaching hundreds of Christmas Lights business owners and building my own successful operation, I've identified the exact patterns that separate the failures from the success stories. The good news? These failures are completely preventable if you know what to avoid.

Why Most Pressure Washing Businesses Fail: • They compete on price instead of value (the race to the bottom) • They never learn proper business fundamentals (treating it like a hobby) • They underestimate startup costs and cash flow needs • They try to do everything themselves and burn out • They focus on equipment instead of customers

How to Be in the Successful 10%: • Master the business side, not just the technical side • Build systems that work without you • Price based on value, not desperation • Focus on profit margins, not just revenue • Treat it like a real business from day one

What you'll learn in this video: • The #1 reason pressure washing businesses fail (it's not what you think) • Real examples of businesses that failed and why • The exact framework successful operators use • How to avoid the common pitfalls that kill 90% of startups • My step-by-step plan to be in the winning 10%

This isn't motivational fluff - it's the hard data on what actually works versus what kills businesses. Whether you're thinking about starting or you're already struggling, this video could save your business.
