What's one thing?
Corey Pellerin • August 2, 2026
What's one thing you were never taught, that you had to figure out the hard way?
Could be money. Could be how to talk to a customer. Could be just showing up when you didn't feel like it.
Drop it below — no wrong answer, no judgment.
I'll go first: nobody taught me how to price a job right for the first 5 years. I gave away more money than I want to admit before I figured it out.
Your turn.

The pride that won't let him ask. That's the real problem. Not the money. Not the lack of skills. Pride. I see it every time I look at a young guy who's struggling — he'd rather grind it out alone, broke and lost, than walk up to somebody and say "I don't know what I'm doing, can you help me." I get it. I was raised the same way. You don't ask, you figure it out, you handle your business. But here's the truth — 23 years in this trade taught me something nobody tells you when you're young: asking for help isn't weakness. It's the first sign you're ready to actually build something. I will never ask you to do something I have not done myself. I've been on my knees on a cold floor at 22 years old with no direction, no mentor, and a whole lot of pride standing in my way. The day I let somebody show me the trade was the day everything changed. If you're a young man who's tired of pushing through it alone — Text me at 407-299-7971 or send me an email to mainstreetcleaning@yahoo.com. No judgment. Trust is a must, and that starts with you trusting me enough to ask. Belief starts with the first step, make the call today.
