I would say take the chance. You never know unless you do it. You will never know unless you try. With any failure comes success, right? That's just life in general. You have to fail in order to make it right, or fix it, and if you make the mistake, you're the only one who can fix it. It's God's plan. It is God's plan for your life. Even if you do it and you don't find success in it, do something else. But it's God's story. He's already written it for you. You just have to do it.

I don't think I've ever had anybody sit me down and say, hey Jess, and then give me a piece of advice. I never had anybody like me growing up, so I feel like that's why I am the way that I am to other people, in hopes that that's how they feel. Being a teen mom, I was rebellious as a kid, and then just kind of growing up by myself, I did a lot of researching and sitting down in all the mistakes that I made. I'm always writing things down, and I'm always like, okay, hey, if somebody came to me and said, hey Jess, I'm going through something, what would I say? But mainly, it's always been if you have this, you have that, like, I've always been in customer service, like, Jess, you have the smile, you're a people person, do it. I see you doing this, I see you doing that, so here I am.

I would pretty much say, if it's a thought that comes across your mind, of course, you're gonna tell anybody to do it, but it's God's plan. It is God's plan for your life. Even if you do it and you don't find success in it, do something else. But it's God's story. He's already written it for you. You just have to do it. If anybody sat across from me and said, I have this idea in my head, this is what I'm wanting to do going forward, I'd be like, okay, quit your job right now, let's go start. I just feel like if any business, anybody that's in business for themselves, your business is gonna do what you want it to do, period. Like, there's just no way around that. Social media is huge. A lot of people don't know that until they actually have somebody from the outside tell them, like, hey, this is what I need, and then they start to get into it.

The biggest challenge is everybody else is doing it. Everybody's doing the jumping castles, everybody's getting a truck and trailer and out there towing, doing lockouts. I mean, I feel like a lot of people can do customer service. It's just availability. Everybody's doing it, everybody's doing it for a cheaper price, and it's like, you always get that, oh, you get what you pay for. That's the biggest challenge for us right now, especially the economy. It's crazy right now. The biggest opportunity, I always say is just do it. Like, we woke up this morning, we're able to brush our teeth, have breakfast, we're able to post on social media that we're available. We'll just sit around and wait. But I think for us, instead of waiting, we're actually going somewhere. Hey, how can we help today? We're walking yards today, doing bids, like, how can we help? How can we take stress off of you? That's our opportunity.

For me, it's always family. You always, for me, it's always my boys, it's whatever made my boys happy until they were old enough, and then it was like, hey, what makes me happy? In my business life, I think that we have been so successful because it's never a customer. It's always, hey, you're a customer right on the phone when I meet you, like, now you're a part of my family, like, what can I do for you? I want to be a business where it's like, hey, let's call Jess, hey, let's call RJ, hey, let's call these people and see how they can help us. For me, it's more community, like, how can we be of assistance?
