Here is an oldie but a goodie from the Archives from the Side Hustle Show Greatest Hits Collection?

A service business is one of the fastest side hustles to get off the ground,

and you can scale it by hiring other people to deliver the work.

But is there an advantage to staying as a solo operator?

To find out, it's time for another side hustle showdown.

What's up, what's up Nick? Loper here, welcome to the Sign Hustle Show because you don't want to swim in a roped off sea.

Tipt to Jimmy Buffett for that one. Today we're tackling freelancing versus building an

agency and we're doing this through the lens of a couple friends of the show who

both run cleaning companies again trying to find guests in similar industries so they can speak each other's

language, but keep in mind the stuff that we're about to cover applies to any

service business online, offline, on the agency side today is Chris Schwab from thinkmaids.com and when I say agency I mean

basically you're running the show and other people are doing the actual labor

because you might remember Chris from episode 294 which was a couple summers ago

discussing how he built the cleaning business to 60 grand a month in revenue

without ever doing any cleaning himself and it had scaled back his own involvement to just 10 minutes a day.

You can find more about Chris at local business MBA.com.

On the freelance side, on the solo side, I'm excited to introduce Ken Kefagno from smart cleaning school.com.

Ken's a former engineer and a father of five who's got his cleaning business

dialed in where he can knock out the work himself in just a couple days and enjoy five day weekends with his family.

Stick around to hear the contrasts between these two entrepreneurs, find out which model makes the most sense for you,

and learn how to avoid the dreaded valley of despair that often afflicts service businesses.
