A couple of things concerning business.....especially if you're just starting out:
1. You need to whisper before you can yell. ( meaning learn how to swim before you jump into the deep end lol)
2. Be a hustla. Free is a new or young businesses best friend!
My last cleanout client met me at the house the morning I was to start. He asked me if I wanted any money up front. I said "No, we will settle up when I am done". He then told me a story. He was working for a contractor building a new house. His boss was very wealthy and could fund the project till it's completion. He told the client that he liked to complete his work before he got paid and he would collect when he finished the job. Well, a few months into the job my client had just finished building the staircase when their client showed up to check on progress. As he is walking around the house he falls down the stairs and dies. Boss didn't paid for a year for the house until the estate got settled. And never got the full amount. Lesson: When a client asks you if you want anything up front, take it. At least get your expenses paid. Then collect your profits after your done.
