Episode Synopsis

Call me crazy but I love Spring clean-up.  I live in New England where we have all 4 seasons and as we are transitioning from Winter to Spring, and lot of cleanup to get ready for Spring.
I borrowed a power washer from my friend to give our brick wall a fresh new cleaning.
As I was power washing, I started to think about how it’s very similar to building a business.
Number 1,
No matter how messy something is, with a little focus and consistency your power can clean it right up.
As I was power-washing I realized that when I got into a rhythm I was able to stay more consistent in cleaning the dirt and mold off the wall. It was a lot faster than when I was all over the place, not really sure what I was doing at first.
For business, things might get a little messy and disorganized, and that’s okay as long as you stay focused and consistent you can clean it right up.
Number 2, the closer I got to the problem the easier it was to clean.
Let me just let you know that over the Winter, lots of molds, moss, and dirt get all over the brick wall lining my driveway.  I started off cleaning holding the washer pretty far back but wasn’t making much progress. The closer I brought it to the area that needed cleaning the easier it came off. (or got clean)
In business, it’s when you narrow in on that ONE problem you can solve for your clients is when you’re able to help them much faster and easier. We try to help everyone but you can only help one person at a time with one problem.
Number 3
It took a lot longer than I thought it would.
I totally underestimated how long it was going to take, but once I started I had to finish. By the time I finished, I was wet, tired, and very very dirty.
In Business, we want things to happen overnight, although we know it can’t. Growing a business does take a while and there will be days when you want to give up, things might get messy, and you might be very tired, But if you stick with it you will have a beautiful, well ran business. OR, in my power washing case a clean wall.
Just like power washing, you too can clean up any mess you make, and in the end, you will have want you set yourself up for.
