About this episode

James Sinclair discusses the challenges and strategies for scaling a window cleaning business with 57-year-old Mark.

Mark runs a window cleaning business in Shropshire turning over £16k a month, but he's on the tools from 8am to 5pm, doing admin until 9pm, and at 57, he feels like he's running out of time. His goal? £400k revenue, a full rebrand, and getting off the tools for good. In this episode, James digs into whether Mark's plan is achievable, what's really holding the business back, and the steps to scale a local service business in a saturated market.Find out more from Mark here: https://www.shirewindowcleaning.co.uk/Try Entrepreneurs University 14 Day FREE Trial Here ►https://jamessinclair.net/entrepreneurs-university-free-trial/Sign up to my weekly newsletter 'The James Sinclair Letter' here:https://www.jamessinclair.net/the-letterFind out your Entrepreneurial DNA, take the '8 Traits of the Greats' quiz here ► https://jamessinclair.scoreapp.comGet your tickets to our next event here ► https://www.jamessinclair.net/eventsApply to be on my podcast here ►https://jamessinclair.net/podcasts/
