The Excuse Epidemic: Why Home Service Businesses Fail Faster Than You Think

The Jeremy Hanson Podcast / Optimized Entrepreneur

In this hard-hitting episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast, Jeremy exposes the #1 silent killer of home service businesses—and it’s not bad weather, slow seasons, or aggressive competition. It’s the excuses you keep making instead of taking action. Whether you run a plumbing company, HVAC service, landscaping crew, pest control outfit, painting business, or any other home service operation, your future success depends on your ability to crush the “comfort blanket” thinking that’s holding you back.

Jeremy shares real-world examples, industry case studies, and no-nonsense strategies for overcoming the most damaging lies owners tell themselves—like “I’ll advertise when I have more customers,” “I can’t raise my rates right now,” and “I’ll grow when I can find the right help.” Learn how excuses silently strangle cash flow, increase stress, and create operational laziness that lets your competitors eat your lunch.

From the 90-Day No Excuse Challenge to practical marketing, pricing, and hiring fixes, this episode delivers an actionable blueprint to excuse-proof your business, boost profits, and reclaim your time. If you’re tired of feeling overworked, underpaid, and always one slow month away from panic—this is the wake-up call your business needs.
