On a side note. It's odd that we are talking about junk removal today because a former colleague of mine is a VP with company that franchises home services brands. They have junk removal, one day painting and house cleaning. I am trying to convince him to let me have the license for all three brands for my region but they don't seem to want to go that route. They want to sell them individually and "prove it" with one before getting the next one and the next one. But that doesn't really interest me. If I am only going to have the one I might as well not pay the franchise fee and commissions and just go do it myself as grayruby's junk removal or whatever.

They are amazing businesses. Really hard to scale but have nice profit margins and generally fairly low overhead (you don't need to hire 10 engineers and give them a fancy office to work in). If you are willing to learn the business and work hard you can make a very nice living.

You still need to find the right people. There are a lot of good, honest, hard working people on the lower income, lower skill scale but there are also a lot of people who are in the position they are in because they continuously make poor decisions (in life and work).
