A YouTube episode hosted by Mike Andes where small-business owners describe operational problems (inconsistent crew attendance, vehicle damage, poor training) and financial strain after large purchases (e.g., a $120,000 truck). Andes frames these stories with the statistic that 60% of businesses fail within three years and announces a 30-day intervention to help the owners avoid failure.
Tell me the story about the F450. I'm very afraid. I'm honestly freaked out for him. Why did we get a $120,000 truck?
I'm gonna kind of open up. You know, we can post this or we can't. You know, however you guys take it.
It's been tough working with some of the guys on the team.
They're both constantly late to work.
They're just being inconsistent not showing up for work.
So 15, 20 minutes, and the dispatch manager waiting on these guys to start.
The day, giving me pushback.
If I ask them to do something, it's always like, why?
Sometimes I may tend to throw too much on the trainees. One of our employees hit a car parked outside of our alley back here. Stop.
You know, I was addicted to hardcore drugs. As of now, going forward, I'm really going to be raising the prices on these smaller jobs. It's really just wasting time.
Ended up damaging the side of the truck. He hit a stop sign.
Typically comes down to this where people have maybe a misunderstanding of how the services are being carried out.
Just want to show you that we work in the rain too.
One of my guys slept in. He's not here on time. The crew already left out. I'm gonna let him go. I don't like firing guys.
I look at the company, I'm like, we gotta do some, you know, serious surgery. There's no cash, your business dies.
Ready to get after it?
Yeah.
All right, cool.
60% of businesses will fail in their first three years. I'm Mike Andes, and I'm on a mission to fix this. I know the fear, and I felt their pain. For the next 30 days, these owners will be sweating it out while trying to avoid becoming another statistic on this season of business weekend. It.
