Author: Neel Parekh November 29, 2023 Duration: 30:57

In this episode Neel and sits down with Chris Schwab of Think Maids (remote cleaning business) and Inova Local (a virtual assistant company).

Chris originally wanted to get to Japan to be with his long-distance girlfriend and realized starting a business was the only way he could do that. That paved the way for everything else.

Neel and Chris discuss:

- the cleaning "revenue valley of despair" in which you are bringing in a lot of revenue but are not yet profitable enough to hire full-time help

- the importance of staying balance once you've made the jump to your remote life: don't get comfortable or your business will go stagnant

- how he and his team connect marketing and sales through specific and personalized funnels.
