Started a mobile detailing business - lesson I learned

I started a mobile detailing business and learned something pretty quickly.

I spent too much time trying to get everything ready before starting. I kept thinking I needed all the best products, tools, and equipment before I could get customers.

But honestly, I didn’t.

All I really needed was the basic stuff to do a good enough job and start getting experience. The extra tools could’ve come later.

The biggest lesson for me was that I should’ve just started earlier instead of overthinking and preparing so much.

You learn way more from actually doing the work and getting real customers than from planning everything in advance.

Customers care about “Result” not what you use to achieve it.

Just wondering if anyone else went through the same thing when starting out?

Founders pick domains based on where the market is. The smart move is picking based on where it's going

There's a pattern that keeps showing up and almost nobody talks about it. Technology moves between regions, adoption follows, companies form, and then suddenly everyone is scrambling for the same domain names in the same category at the same time. By that point the best options are already gone.

We built the Innovation Geography Radar to surface exactly this, tracking how innovations travel across regions using patent citation data, where startup formation is accelerating, and crucially, where the naming layer hasn't caught up yet.

Regions like India, Latin America, and parts of Africa are the sharpest example right now. Ecosystems expanding fast, technologies spreading in, companies forming, but Strategic-Grade domain names still largely unsecured. That gap is the window.

It closes. It always closes. The question is whether you're making domain decisions based on where your market is heading or where it already landed.

What region are you watching right now and do you think the naming layer has caught up there yet?

What question would you like to ask your spreadsheet to receive a clear answer?

Every business owner I talk to has data sitting in Excel or Google Sheets that they can't fully use. The data is there, but you need SQL, Python, or a data analyst to get answers.

So I'm curious if you could just type a question at your spreadsheet and get back a proper answer (actual numbers, a chart, or the insight that matters), what would you ask?

Could be something simple like "which product is actually making me money?" or something you've been trying to figure out for months.

Asking because I'm building something in this space and want to make sure I'm solving real problems, not imaginary ones. Brutal honesty appreciated.

Made a tool to solve a problem I had at work… now stuck on how to get users

Hey guys,

In my previous work I had to go through tons of documents and make the same repetitive edits again and again. It was painfully manual and honestly drove me crazy.

So as a side project I built a small tool to automate it. It scans a folder (and subfolders), finds specific words or phrases across thousands of files, and can replace them instantly. It even catches small variations and typos during processing.

It actually works pretty well and saves a lot of time, so I spent about a month polishing it and fixing edge cases thinking maybe I could turn it into a small product.

Now I’m stuck with a completely different problem… I have no idea how to get people to actually try it.

I’ve tried posting a bit, but obviously nobody knows me and I have zero reputation.

For people who’ve built small tools before, how did you get your first few users? Any strategies that worked for you?

Here are 5 ChatGPT prompts I use to run my small business faster

Been using ChatGPT to handle most of my business writing and it saves

me hours every week. Here are 5 prompts that actually work:

  1. Overdue invoice follow-up:

"Write a professional follow-up email for a payment that is 14 days

overdue. Polite but firm. Include [invoice number] and [amount] as

placeholders. Offer to resend the invoice."

  1. Respond to a negative Google review:

"Write a response to this negative Google review: [paste review here].

Be professional, empathetic, offer a resolution, keep it under 100 words."

  1. Write a job posting:

"Write a job posting for a [job title] at my [business type]. Include

key responsibilities, requirements, what we offer, and how to apply.

Professional but approachable tone."

  1. Instagram captions:

"Write 5 Instagram captions for a [business type] promoting [product].

Conversational tone, under 150 words each, include a call to action."

  1. Deal with a difficult customer:

"Write a calm professional email response to a customer threatening a

bad review unless we give them something free. Don't give in but try

to resolve the issue."

The trick is always filling in the brackets with specific details —

the more specific you are, the better the output.

What prompts do you use for your business?

The 7 things to update for a successful business!

I signed up for a free downloadable to help businesses grow and it discussed the 7 reasons that business with big revenue still struggle and I wanted to share this info with you to get your opinion about this.

The 7 frequent mistakes are:

  1. A big revenue & no cash in bank!

Due to payment terms of 30 days or 60 days! This is killing your business.

Try: Upfront payment before a product sale or service. Ask for 20% payment before the work. Or get paid with monthly retainers.

  1. Big revenue & no profit!!

Your revenue is 100k 200k 500k but your profit margin is close to nothing. It is less than 50k or 30k or even 20k, why?

Because your systems cost you and are inefficient and ineffective too. You have employees salaries to pay. And contractors to pay too.

What can you do?

Look for all the inefficient tools subscriptions that you pay for and eliminate non-productive spendings. Buy effective tools that will help you earn more. Update your business model i.e subscription base, payment per task and not hour.

  1. Hiring problems!

You need more people but you are stuck in the hiring process.

You spend months looking for the right person Or you find them quickly and you still need to spend time training them.

What can you do?

Hire a person before your business grows so you can anticipate the need and take less time.

  1. Goals issues!

You set goals but your teams are not reaching them and are working on other things.

Instead schedule meetings before the deadline, to ask them questions and see if they what is blocking them.

  1. Your prices are too low!

What can you do?

Change your prices to be profitable. If required package your offers, create services that clients need at a profitable price by showing the value you deliver.

  1. Growing at all costs!

You buy products you aren't sure about at very high costs i.e. 100 qualified leads for 10k USD

Instead ensure that what you are buying at such a price will generate more money or value for your business.

  1. You do everything.

Nothing works without you and you are getting tired. Instead delegate your tasks to your teams.

With all this in mind I think the easiest to change is no 6 instead of spending 10k for 100 leads that do not guarantee any sales, I clearly would build mine alone or buy a guide that help me for 20 USD or so.

In addition I spent 1k to create programmes that I sell between 180 and 460 USD and as I dearly need clients if someone said I get you one in exchange of 25% of the sale I would say yes instantly but of course would make sure the clients buy before.

So what do you think? And in view of this theory where is your business today?

Is spending 10k USD for leads too much?

Would you agree to 25% on products sales under 500 USD?

“Pinche cruda que me cargaba…” — una etapa que me enseñó más de lo que pensé

Voy a ser directo.

Hubo una etapa en mi vida donde llamaba al trabajo diciendo que estaba “enfermo”…

pero en realidad solo estaba desvelado.

Sí, fui irresponsable.

Trabajé limpiando casas, oficinas, en fábricas y bodegas.

Empecé desde abajo.

Y no, no me enorgullece… pero tampoco me avergüenzo.

Porque entendí algo que me cambió:

El conocimiento te abre puertas,

pero si no lo aplicas… no sirve de nada.

Puedes saber mucho,

puedes ver videos, leer, aprender…

pero si no ejecutas, no avanzas.

Aceptar quién fui me ayudó a entender quién soy

y a decidir en quién quería convertirme.

Siento que muchos pasan por esa etapa, pero pocos lo dicen.

¿A alguien más le pasó algo así en su camino?
