This week on the show we welcome, Jonathan and Melissa, a husband-and-wife team, who founded Lit Outdoor Lighting as a part-time business over three years ago in Indiana. In April 2022, they relocated the business to Louisiana and committed to it full-time. While their primary focus remains landscape lighting, they’ve since expanded their offerings to include permanent track lighting, outdoor audio, and Christmas lights, which has grown to be a significant part of their revenue.

One challenge that every business owner faces is getting stuck in their routines.

The landscape lighting industry in my opinion has been myopic in many ways.

This week on the show we welcome Neel Parekh who in 2013, amidst his corporate endeavors, chanced upon a Reddit post that ignited the inception of MaidThis - a groundbreaking cleaning service tailored for the digital era. Witnessing the constraints of traditional cleaning firms, Neel embarked on a quest to revolutionize the industry, introducing automated booking, online payments, and cutting-edge marketing strategies. As MaidThis progressed, they honed in on the burgeoning vacation rental market, leveraging technology for exponential growth. With their footprint expanding and operations refining, MaidThis emerged as a frontrunner in the cleaning domain. The journey solidified MaidThis' potential as a remotely managed venture, culminating in the 2020 launch of a franchise model - a new era of expansion and innovation.

I touch on how profitability will transform your life and business forever. I set the stage for Lighting For Profits and how we are going to be talking about increasing your price, increasing your qualified leads, and increasing your closing rate.
