The book $100 Million Offers by Alex Hormozi offers what Alex calls his Value Equation. The word "value" has been getting thrown around a lot in our industry for a while. So much so, actually, that I've actually been getting pretty sick of it. But, after reading, then re-reading Alex's book I started to contextualize his Value Equation to our industry and it led to a massive flood of ideas on how laundromat owners can dominate their market.

There is a LOT going on with the economy, local politics, global politics, and more right now. Everywhere you turn are headlines about inflation, recession, war, uncertainty, market declines, and more. With all of these scary headlines, the question becomes: "How does all of this affect our businesses and our lives?"It's a difficult question to answer as there are so many variables to consider and so many unknowns. However, we do know that there is nothing new about inflation, recessions, wars, market fluctuations, and many of the other things going on in our world today. So, one of the best ways to chart our path forward is to look at the lessons we've learned in the past. In times of change, fortunes are lost and fortunes are made. Inflation and a looming recession could spell disaster for your laundromat and your personal finances, or it can add a zero to your income and net worth.In today's show, we're going to explore some ways that laundromat owners and investors can prepare for a recession, whether one is coming or not. We'll focus on 7 primary steps to take to prepare your business and yourself for a potential recession and set you up for success no matter what happens going forward!Show SponsorsAtmosphereTV- 50+ channels of positive, fun TV programming, allowing you to cut your cable bill and create a great atmosphere in your laundromat!

Elite athletes, professional musicians, C-Suite executives. What do they all have in common? Well, for one, they're all at the top of their game in their profession. But, for two, they almost always have a coach that is helping them continually progress to reach higher heights and to reach them faster. The thing is, having a coach doesn't have to be just for the elite. In fact, I would argue that the elite are often elite because they have great coaches. They don't get great coaches when they become elite. What does this all mean for you? It might mean that you need to get a coach to help you get to the next level and reach your goals faster. Whether you're looking to buy your first laundromat, wanting to scale your business faster, or trying to branch out to another business or real estate investing, having a great coach will help you overcome the obstacles in your way to getting there.Today's guest, Jason Drees, is a performance coach who I have been using to help me level up my business game, and on today's show, he shares some advice on how you can up your game, too!Some of the topics that Jason and Jordan cover are:How to find success after a big failureHow to overcome your fear to get into the gameIncome levels and how to find where yours should beHow to scale up your goalsHow to know what level you should play atHow to find successAlignment in your lifeHow to change your mindsetWhat are vibrations?

From the beginning of Laundromat Resource, I've had an underlying belief and core value that laundromat owners will all be better if we work together to help each other out. It's been an underlying motivation for everything we do. Today, we celebrate a milestone together that is proof of this concept. I hope to inspire our industry to push forward and do more together to, as my friend Dave "Laundromat Millionaire" Menz likes to say, elevate the industry. This episode is about thanking everyone for buying into this belief, being a part of it, and going on the journey with me. It's also my hope that this will just pour jet fuel on the fire that's already burning. I truly believe it's the way to change your life for the better and to change our communities for the better!So big thanks to you all! Take today to go out and celebrate however you like to celebrate!

HUGE announcement in today's episode of the Laundromat Resource Podcast! We're launching a new website called Laundromat Marketplace where agents, brokers, and laundromat sellers can post their laundromat listings for FREE! https://LaundromatMarketplace.comOne of the biggest questions I get is, "How can I find a laundromat for sale near me?" We built this website to help buyers find laundromats for sale and to connect both laundromat buyers and sellers with great agents and brokers! We built this website to help sellers connect with buyers quickly and efficiently. With a self-selected buyers email list of over 1,000 investors plus our massive (and growing) audiences on all our various channels, we can help sellers connect with the right buyer!We also built this website to reward the great agents and brokers out there helping you buy and sell laundromats. I get asked for broker recommendations all the time so we integrated into this website the ability for great agents to be rewarded with great ratings and reviews. Consequently, also integrated into the website is some extra motivation to the mediocre and poor agents to step up their game.And there is way more coming on this site to make it easier to both buy and sell laundromats and commercial real estate for FREE!But that's only a small part of this podcast. This episode is really about "Why?" It's about why Laundromat Resource exists, it's about why Laundromat Marketplace now exists, and it's about why we need to work together to help this industry reach its huge potential. There is a lot to be done, so we'll need to do it together!So check out the new site, encourage agents and brokers you know to post their listings there, and let's take the next step in this industry's evolution together!https://laundromatmarketplace.comShow Noteshttps://laundromatresource.com/show76Show SponsorsAtmosphereTV- 50+ channels of positive, fun TV programming, allowing you to cut your cable bill and create a great atmosphere in your laundromat!

In this week's show, we get down to the foundation of what makes the laundromat business one of the best small businesses in America. Coming off the heels of the 4th of July, Freedom was on my mind and it prompted me to share the two mindsets we can have around how we generate income. Most of us are familiar with the time and effort economy. This is where our compensation and our net worth are tied directly to how much time and effort we put into our work. Laundromats, however, introduce us to a new world. In this episode, we explore this world and what living by this other economy can do for us!Show noteshttps://laundromatresource.com/show63Show SponsorsAtmosphereTV- 50+ channels of positive, fun TV programming, allowing you to cut your cable bill and create a great atmosphere in your laundromat!

I often hear from laundromat owners or former owners that when they first bought their laundromat it wasn't what they expected. Often it was significantly more work and stress than they anticipated. Many owners cut their losses and sell their laundromat business. They then go off and explore other opportunities. A very few tough it out and either eventually find success, or eventually throw in the towel. Even less end up selling their laundromats only to regret it and buy the exact businesses they sold back.That's Nathalie Beaubien's story. After a stressful and overwhelming start in her laundromat journey, she got to a point where she needed to sell her businesses. Shortly after she did, she regretted it. In today's show, Nathalie tells her story about why laundromat ownership was overwhelming, why she sold her businesses, why she bought them back, and what was different the second time around that turned her into the "Soap Box Queen!"In today's show, Nathalie and Jordan discuss:The path of Nathalie's journey in the laundromat businessOne of the problems with laundromatsWhy she sold her businessWhy she bought her exact laundromats backHow the last 7 years was different from her first 5 years owning her laundromatsWhere she found opportunity with her laundromatsWhy she prefers to be hands-on in her businessHow her personal brand has affected her businessesHow she grew her wash and fold businessWhat her secret sauce to success isThe #1 tip she gives to new laundromat ownersThe best places she has gone to do her research on the laundromat businessAnd a lot more!Show noteshttps://laundromatresource.com/show60Show SponsorsAtmosphereTV- 50+ channels of positive, fun TV programming, allowing you to cut your cable bill and create a great atmosphere in your laundromat!
