Summary

In this podcast episode, we talk to Cole, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Ohio who started a pressure washing business in his early twenties. Cole shares his journey of becoming his own boss and building his business from the ground up. He discusses the challenges and rewards of running a pressure washing company, and offers advice for other aspiring entrepreneurs. Listen to hear Cole’s inspiring story and learn how to follow your passion and take control of your own future. This episode is sure to motivate and inspire anyone looking to start their own business.

In addition to his pressure washing business, Cole also runs a successful Christmas light installation service. He started the business several years ago and has seen it grow each year. Cole’s passion for hunting means that he has a lot of free time in the winter, so the Christmas light business is a great way for him to stay busy and make extra money during that time. He shares how he got started in the business and offers tips for anyone looking to do something similar. Listen to hear more about Cole’s Christmas light business and how it fits into his overall entrepreneurial journey.

This podcast is brought to you by new project the Rich Ideas Lab. If you are interested in some of the entrepreneur content that I have been doing you need to check out Rich Ideas Lab. This is a community of like mind individuals who are living their life with intention. If you want to be successful and live a life of intention, my best advice is to prioritize spending money on growth and network. The greatest advice I ever got was to never think twice about spending money on books and course as their ROI is so high you can’t afford to not. Right now I have a free trial I encourage you to use it. take all the knowledge you possibly can, and if you don’t see how this community will change your life forever than well I hate to say it but you aren’t the kind of person we want in the community and I will gladly pay you to leave. We’re building something massive here and we need people who add to it not just take. Join the Lab
