Today we’d like to introduce you to Kwmaine Ivery.
Hi Kwmaine, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I always wanted to start my own business; I been wanting to do it so for quite some time now. It wasn’t until me and my wife had our first son that things came about in 2020. While my wife was on maternity leave, I started getting everything together to start a moving business. But after placing my business on Google a company called home advisor reached out to me. Home advisor made me aware of a special licensing that I needed to move forward with their service. The rep made me aware I could continue with the service if I did junk removal as well. It wasn’t until then when I realized my business will not be moving company but a junk removal company. Ever since, I have been perfecting my junk removal business with the help of my family.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Just like most business it has not been a smooth road for me either. The hardest part about the journey in the beginning was not having a trailer to help haul the junk away, not having the correct equipment to make the job easy, and pricing jobs incorrectly. In the beginning, I had rent a Uhaul trailer to get the job done. But I also priced my jobs incorrectly, which was not always a win for me. Pricing is the key to a profitable business. Now that I have been doing this for some time, the new bump in the road is advertising and marketing.
We’ve been impressed with Just K’s Junk Removal, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business is a junk removal business. We offer our services to residential and commercial customers in Volusia, Seminole, and Orange County. I specialize in hauling junk away from customer’s homes or offices. I do offer services like valet trash, commercial cleaning, trash outs, porter services, move in/out cleaning, curbside pickup, and many more. What sets us apart from others is that we are family owned and operated business and we make it easy for our customers so there is no hassle. I would love for the readers to know is that “You Call, We Haul! No job is too big or small”. Until you have a Just K’s Junk Removal experience, you don’t know what you are missing.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
What gets me through and keeps me motivated is listing to Eric Thomas podcast. Eric Thomas is one of my favorite motivational speakers. I also like watching Sonoma Strong on YouTube. Sonoma Strong is always dropping some of the best tips that pertain to junk removal. Lastly, I like reading books every now and then. My favorite book currently is Rick Ross: Hurricanes.
