Micah Jr (17 at the time of this recording) decided it was time to venture out and start a pressure washing side hustle. He has been helping me (Micah Sr) for a few years now pressure wash our Chick-fil-A store. We started commercial pressure washing simply because our Chick-fil-A store needed it done on a regular basis and I decided that was something me and my sons could do. So I had to learn commercial pressure washing (it's a good bit more involved than just using your local big box retailer pressure washer for around the house). So I then taught my 3 sons how to do it.
Micah Jr decided he knew enough to do it on his own. So he taught his friend Noah and the two of them went out knocking on doors and contacting friends, family, teachers, coaches, etc. And many of them hired them to clean their driveways, sidewalks, porches, patios, retaining walls, etc.
Not sure how far they will go with it but for now it's been a great learning opportunity and side hustle for both of them!

Welcome to my life, welcome to my life, yeah
On the bright side
Yeah this music here became my only lifeline
Think I'm going crazy, I'm not in my right mind
On the bright side
One leg out that brand new Benz way
Hometown asking am I rich
Repetition from my chest, that's a bench press
Seeing more behind the frame, future driver feel the shake
Thinking ain't nobody feel the way I do
But someone gotta feel the same
On the bright side
Yeah this music here became my only lifeline
Think I'm going crazy, I'm not in my right mind
Welcome to my life, welcome to my life, yeah
Welcome to my life, welcome to my
I don't do anything else with it
Mike and Noah finished up, let's go check out the work
See what it looks like now that it's all clean
Look at that pretty clean concrete
Really bad
Y'all need to go back over
Yeah it's straight
So like Mike and Jay said at the beginning of the video
He's been helping me pressure wash Chick-fil-A for a few years now
Pressure washing wasn't something that we had been involved with
Or something we were looking to get into
It really kind of fell into pressure washing
Because once we got our own Chick-fil-A
We realized that it needed to be pressure washed
And it was really expensive to have it done
As often as we needed it to be done
So I thought you know what, I have three able-bodied boys
I'm able-bodied, let's figure out how to do it
And so we kind of dabbled into pressure washing
Realized commercial pressure washing was a whole new animal
So I had to get all the commercial grade stuff
To be able to do Chick-fil-A
And so we had all the equipment
So I encouraged Mike
And Mike said why don't you go do this on the side
I mean it can be good money
We already had the equipment to do big commercial jobs
He'd been helping me, but he needed to learn it himself
So yeah I kind of let him do more and more of the store
He felt confident enough
He got Noah to help him out, his buddy Noah
And then at times you know Colin or Gavin has to help him
But yeah so they went around the neighborhood
Knocking on doors
Like physically knocking on doors
And talking to people
Something that nobody does anymore
Super proud of him for getting out there
Knocking on doors
Talking to people
Asking for business
Learned a lot of valuable lessons
About sales and businesses doing that
A lot of people said yeah
I mean they're young teenagers
Trying to earn some money
Who doesn't want to help that?
So yeah they've been able to do a good bit
Super proud of the guys for getting out there doing it
Spent a little side hustle spring and summer
When he's not doing sports or other things
So we'll see what he does
You know I don't know if he picks it up and runs with it
Once he graduates
But at least he knows how to do it
And proud of him for what he's done
So I hope this video inspires some of you young people
Get out there
You know knock on doors
Try to earn some business
Try to start your own business
Make a little money
Be good communication skills
Good sales experience for you
Good business experience for you
Alright guys
Well we'll catch you in the next vlog
Bye bye
