This episode of the Laundromat Resource Podcast is probably the most incredible episode you'll ever listen to. Michael's story of struggle and sacrifice after leaving the corporate job he hated, only to have to sleep in his laundromat and work non-stop is inspirational. But, the level of detail Michael gives on HOW he 10x'd his business is insane!

Michael takes us through the ads he uses, the strategies he employs, the reason he uses social media (it's not what you think), why he has a blog, how he gets commercial wash and fold customers, and so much more! He shares slides and screenshots, so check out the video if you want the visuals.

This episode is possibly the BEST interview yet and no matter where you're at on your laundromat journey, be prepared to get schooled. 

20:39- How did you overcome the fear of investing money?
28:42- It was too good to be true.
32:36- The one good thing that kept the business alive.
37:03- What changed from desperate to hopeful.
48:22- The critical principle of speed.
52:53- How to reinforce the habit of coming to the laundromat
1:00:03- The numbers that really matter.
1:05:28- The competitive game of longevity.
1:10:53- How much residential vs. commercial business wash and fold?
1:26:09- Turns per day vs. profit.
1:44:42- How to get the most traffic to your page
1:53:29- Three kinds of ads you want to run for your laundromat

If your goal is to achieve financial freedom, then you've come to the right spot! There's no better way to achieve financial freedom than through laundromat ownership. And in today's podcast episode, we're going to compare a typical real estate deal to a typical laundromat deal to show the power of owning a small business like a laundromat.

They may be boring businesses, but laundromats have the ability to give you the freedom you need to live the life of your dreams! 

The math is surprisingly simple and I'll show you exactly how it works in this episode!
