I have a business much like Dave Rampage and Mike P. We do very high end stuff, we do things very well and do way more things than 95% of the cleaners I know. I do not make as much money as they do but we will do $250,000 this year. We have a dry when we leave policy, if we can't get the stain out nobody can policy ( money back if someone gets out what we can't, never paid a dime ) and I don't advertise a drop. We get tons of referrals every week.
We get our referrals because we are good and nobody can provide the same service we can.
Here is my problem. I am so crazy anal. I over clean everything. I can't stand anything but 100%. I now have a great employee. He is fantastic. I don't think I can ever replace him or duplicate him again. Every multi truck operation I know has to let the quality go down to get to that position.
I feel I have to let my quality go down, or stay on the truck forever!
If I am hurt my family is screwed. I wonder if a really good clean is a better way to run a business than the best clean possible. That way you may be able to train guys to care as much as you.
The only way you can get an employee to work as hard as you is if they make $70k or more a year. IMO
What to do? My body will not let me do this forever. I would like to run a business not a great job for myself. I have spit blood for my company and not many employees will ever understand what I have done to build this company.
What are your plans Dave and Mike? What are you going to do if you get hurt or come down with MS or something terrible like that? How can I ever learn to let go?
I would like anybody with advice to chime in.
Thank you
