Junk Removal Part 1 - Why Do Junk Removal?

Why do a junk removal business? There are many great reasons for wanting to do this. It's not just about owning your own business. Think about all the folks that you know who are self employed and ask yourself how their situations stack up against the list of pro's below for a junk removal business. Then assess where you are currently and see if perhaps this could be a match for you.   


Pro's

  • No training necessary! You are not performing lobotomies.
  • No college!
  • No licenses!
  • No uniforms!
Okay, so you are going in saving four to six years of your young adult life as well as thousands upon thousands of dollars in tuition. What's not to like? Oh, you wanted to be called "Doctor"? Sorry, can't help you. Next!


Cons

  • Image factor*
* Inevitably, someone will ask the question: "So, what do you do?"

Okay, once you are past the image factor, you are ready to be groomed. The real reasons to have a junk removal business are as follows:
  • You can do it part time or full time.
  • You can make a boatload of cash per hour, and I mean a boatload ($50/hr is nothing)
  • You can still keep your current job.
  • This business is an entrepreneur's dream come true.
If you are already a contractor and on the road and already own work vehicles (trucks/vans) then this is a natural sideline.

The reason why we say that this type of business is an entrepreneur's dream come true is that you will trip over so many opportunities and also encounter so many other ways to cash in on it, on top of the fees that you charge your clients. We will discuss several of these extra income streams in the next two posts. Stay tuned!
