Earlier this year, I took a break from writing to start something completely new. I needed to try something different, so I started a mobile car detailing business.

It turned out to be a great change of pace. I got to be outside and work with my hands, away from my laptop.

And of course it came with challenges. I was starting from zero.

Zero followers, zero leads, zero customers, zero testimonials.

I had a few years of marketing experience, and just about everyone has a car, so I knew I could get customers. I spent a few days scouring the internet for detailing tips and finding the best products. After a few clever social media posts I booked my first customer. Since I started, I’ve spent all my time growing a business, rather than writing about it.

Today, I’ll to share a few things I’ve done to grow my business from zero. Hopefully you’re already doing some of these, but it’s unlikely that you’re doing all five.

That’s a good thing because it means there’s opportunity to grow!
