Here’s the deal: starting and running a successful business doesn’t have to be hard. It also doesn’t have to involve a complicated or innovative idea that requires high upfront costs, showing up on every social media platform available for download, or working crazy long hours. It can really be as simple as solving a simple problem for your community. Yes, I meant to say simple twice!! Why? Because our guest today has taken a simple idea and turned it into a simple (yet, successful!) business that has supported him and his employers for over 40 years – and the message that Brian Winch is spreading in this episode is that anybody can do it!! So who is Brian? Well, he’s an author and the founder of Cleanlots, a parking lot litter cleanup business he has been running since 1981!! Brian is all about simple business models that allow entrepreneurs to make money from simple (yet impactful) ideas –and now he teaches others how to do it, too! Sometimes those simple things in life are really what will bring you success!! Tune in to hear Brian’s amazingly simple story of success! Oh, and by the way, if you like what you hear?
