| How do marine type businesses start? Have
| |
| | cattle. The puzzle was coming together,
|
| you ever thought of turning a hobby into a

| | but we had to figure a way to lower the
|
| business? Let me tell you a story of how I
| |
| | weight of the boat so we could still carry

| got into the Boat Detailing Business when
| |
| | 1800 Lbs of water without capsizing or
|
| I started our in the car cleaning business
| |
| | tipping in big waves especially in ocean
|
| which grew into a franchise system. So
| |
| | marinas. We put all of our heads together
|
| often we read in business books to study
| |
| | and our prototype now works. We knew the
|
| markets and develop business plans when in
| |
| | business worked since we had three

| reality it does not exactly work that way.
| |
| | independents who all made well over 150K
|
| Let me tell you a story of how sometimes
| |
| | per year and I have the marketing because
|
| the entrepreneur just falls into
| |
| | people who get cars washed may own a boat
|
| opportunity.I met a guy who came to our
| |
| | and everyone calls in under one 1-800
|
| web site to buy a Car Wash Guys franchise
| |
| | number so we could use my existing
|
| who had been detailing boats for ten years
| |
| | customer base to also get boat customers.
|
| in Redding CA and later in Coeur D' Alene,
| |
| | We decided to start by offering these boat
|
| ID. At the time we were getting about
| |
| | franchises to existing franchisees of any
|
| 600,000 hits on our website per month so
| |
| | other system we had to grow very fast very
|
| that wasn't too surprising judging from
| |
| | quick. Our goal was to set up and add 100
|
| the odds. He didn't have the money but we
| |
| | units the next year.And here is the
|
| talked about the industry a lot for our
| |
| | kicker, the pontoon manufacturer has a
|
| franchisee fee or the equipment needed. .
| |
| | deal with a pleasure craft loan company
|
| He had some fabulous Ideas about boat
| |
| | and can finance the equipment, 1/2
|
| washing however. I then was marketing up
| |
| | franchise fee and boat for 15 years and
|
| in WA state and ran across another Boat
| |
| | the payments? $333.00 per month. Ha,
|
| Detailing in Everett WA, who also detailed
| |
| | that was all we needed to make it
|
| cars, really sharp Mormon kid previously
| |
| | available for all of our team and anyone
|
| from Salt Lake. Also really knew his
| |
| | who really wants one. All this happened
|
| stuff, attends boat shows and has
| |
| | from a back burner project in less than a
|
| established himself as a marine cleaning
| |
| | year. Then I wrote a 500+ page manual
|
| products guy. We hit is off and all
| |
| | using all of our expertise. Nathan one of
|
| decided to work together. I then met a
| |
| | our friends in WA State washed Craig Mc
|
| guy in Newport Beach who details the
| |
| | Caws Boat; a 106-foot Yacht.Sounds great
|
| interiors of Boats and designed the
| |
| | right? Well not exactly, turns out
|
| original equipment for Nauticare, an
| |
| | insurance was tougher than we thought and
|
| onsite, pontoon mounted oil change and
| |
| | the government regulators had attacked our
|
| bilge cleaning franchise. WOW. This
| |
| | companies based on competitor complaints
|
| would round out the knowledge I needed to
| |
| | and the whole thing got put on hold. No
|
| put together The Boat Wash Guys. sank the
| |
| | jobs were created, very few boats ever got
|
| first pontoon prototype in Lake Mead;
| |
| | cleaned and the whole project sank. This
|
| entrepreneurial disaster, total loss. o
| |
| | does not mean we could not start it up
|
| add insult to injury the local lake
| |
| | anytime we changed our minds, it just
|
| enforcement wanted to investigate and it
| |
| | shows you that no matter how good you
|
| cost $4,000 to
| |
| | plans are as an entrepreneur you always
|
| recover the damn boat; back to the
| |
| | have to watch out for the Tsunami of brain
|
| drawing board with safety in mind. We
| |
| | dead regulators in Washington DC. This
|
| could not sell a franchise if the boats
| |
| | project today sits on the back burner once
|
| sank and that was our intention to set up
| |
| | again, with all the pieces ready to go.
|
| franchises for boat cleaning. A sure way
| |
| | Entrepreneurs should be well advised to
|
| to sink any franchise. So we remembered
| |
| | watch all the details before sinking
|
| that one of our franchisees in Lewiston ID
| |
| | $100,000 dollars into an idea without
|
| has a brother who build boats and also jet
| |
| | looking at all the details. Think about
|
| boats and customized landing craft to haul
