106. The BEST Way to Dominate Your Laundromat Market08 Nov 202200:49:57

Send us a text

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.

In this rare solo episode, I explain what Alex's Value Equation is and take you through it, variable by variable, to show you how you can dominate your market by optimizing each one. 

Obsessing over the details of each variable in your businesses will lead you to offering more value to your customers. This ultimately will lead to better service, a better working environment, and higher profits for you. Take this episode and run as far and as fast as you can with it! Dominate your market then join me on the podcast to tell us all how you did it!

103. Buying a Closed Laundromat an Hour and a Half Away with Lloyd Silver04 Oct 202201:30:29

Send us a text

Diligence Capital Investments Deluxe Fund

Lloyd Silver is a marketing agency owner who took to the laundromat industry to forge a new direction. Lloyd found a closed-down laundromat that he ended up buying, retooling, and re-launching. He generously shares how he valued that laundromat, how he came up with his plan to re-launch it, and how it performed after he did. 

Lloyd also started a laundry pick-up and delivery business from scratch out of that laundromat. He shares the details of how he did that and what his plan is to expand the business into his second location.

And he did all of this living an hour and a half from his laundromat. Lloyd is very open and honest about his process and answers many of the questions I get often about buying zombiemats or closed laundromats, starting a pick-up and delivery from scratch, and owning remotely.

As if that wasn't enough, we dig deep into his marketing expertise and talk about how laundromat owners can leverage a marketing plan to accelerate their business growth.

In today's interview, Lloyd and Jordan discuss:

  • Lloyd's background as a financial analyst and marketing agency owner
  • How he found a laundromat to buy
  • How he valued the closed laundromat
  • How long it took to reach profitability
  • How he funded the acquisition of the closed laundromat
  • How he owns the laundromat an hour and a half from his home
  • How he onboards new employees
  • How he started laundry pick-up and delivery from scratch
  • What he's doing differently the second time around on his second laundromat
  • What marketing techniques are working for his laundry business
  • Can you run your own ads or do you need an agency to run them for you?
  • Lloyd's done-with-you marketing BootCamp for laundromat owners

And a lot 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!

96. How Much Is a Laundromat Really Worth?06 Jun 202200:35:40

Send us a text

This episode answers one of the most frequent questions we get asked: "How do I know how much a laundromat is worth?" While there is a lot that goes into determining the valuation of a laundromat, the information in this episode will allow you to get an accurate initial valuation to make an offer on a laundromat.

This episode is taken from the first part of a webinar that Jordan gives every 4-6 weeks on how to analyze a laundromat deal. The second part of the webinar explains the process of due diligence and how to verify the critical numbers that determine the value and performance of a laundromat.  To sign up for the next webinar, check out the Events page! You can also watch a replay of the Analysis webinar and every other webinar we've ever done on-demand when you join the Pro Community!

95. Laundromat Franchises: Worthless or Worth it? With Alex Smereczniak24 May 202201:53:48

Send us a text

Laundromat franchises are gaining popularity fast in America but there isn't much information about them out there yet. That's about to change. Alex Smereczniak of Laundrolab joins us on the podcast this week to talk about the ins and outs of laundromat franchises.

Many wonder what value a franchisor brings to the laundromat business and Jordan asks him that outright. They talk through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the laundromat franchise model. They discuss who is a good fit for a franchise and who might not be a good fit. They even discuss how much a franchise location costs and what their model is.

But this episode isn't only for those who are interested in learning about franchises. Alex has experience running successful laundromats himself and has insights into successful franchisee businesses. And he shares those success tips with us on the show today, as well!

In addition, Alex is joining Jordan for a free live webinar/Q&A on all things franchising on Thursday, May 24, 2022. If it has already passed, you can view the replay of that webinar and all of the other webinars we've done by joining the Pro Community.

In today's show, Alex and Jordan discuss:

  • How Alex grew a laundry service business 10x while in college
  • How he would change the Washio/Rinse business models to make them more successful
  • How he built a laundry pick-up and delivery service, 2ULaundry, to do 3,000lbs/day
  • How he raised $400,000 to open a location in Raleigh
  • What the value in a franchise is
  • How you can grow your laundry pick-up and delivery business to 3,000lbs/day
  • Finding one-to-many relationships
  • The process of buying a franchise from start to finish
  • What a franchise helps franchisees with
  • What you get with a Laundrolab franchise
  • Resource from outside the industry that can help you grow your business

And a lot more!

94. 10x the Speed to Hit Your Goals and 10x Your Results with Jason Drees10 May 202201:12:46

Send us a text

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 failure
  • How to overcome your fear to get into the game
  • Income levels and how to find where yours should be
  • How to scale up your goals
  • How to know what level you should play at
  • How to find success
  • Alignment in your life
  • How to change your mindset
  • What are vibrations? Are they real?
  • Your financial mindset
  • Coaching options for you

And more! Check out Jason Drees Coaching to see if it's a good fit for you. Be sure to select "Jordan Berry" in the How Did You Hear About Us dropdown box so that they know you're coming from this podcast!

91. PROOF That We're All Better When We Work Together07 Apr 202200:20:50

Send us a text

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! You deserve it! :)
