We recently connected with Joshua Campbell and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Joshua thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Being a business owner can be really hard sometimes. It’s rewarding, but most business owners we’ve spoken sometimes think about what it would have been like to have had a regular job instead. Have you ever wondered that yourself? Maybe you can talk to us about a time when you felt this way?

Being a business owner definitely has its times of doubt, stress and frustration, but I can honestly say being a business owner has given me fulfillment and something to fight for. I remember a time we were having a slow month and everything just started going wrong. I had 4 customers cancel on me, my truck went out on me and a popped my shoulder all in one day. Things were slow prior to this and month and every bone in my body made me want to quit, but I knew had a mission and that God wanted to test me to see if I’m really cut for this. I ended getting my truck repaired and caught up on bills and everything. I would say don’t let bad times determine who you are. Pain and suffering is like a scratch. It’ll eventually heal and grow back stronger.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Well, I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. I met a guy who eventually would mentor me and teach me about to logistics industry and transporting household goods across the country. After gaining knowledge of the industry I began researching other ways I can haul and make money and I stumbled across Junk Removal and Demolition. I studied the market by researching my competitors, the average cost the do junk removal and demolition jobs and then I began advertising. One way I stand out from my competitors is that I’m consistent, I try to solve any issue that comes up. We pay particular attention to detail by following procedures that are designed to produce time-effective solutions to ensure a successful Junk Removal/Demolition.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building an audience took time and a lot of studying the market. I paid for advertisements on Instagram and Facebook. I posted flyers in Facebook market place. The first few months was a little slow but I posted about 5 days a week and begin to grow my audience. It’s really being consistent and doing it even when you don’t feel like it.

Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?

Raising the initial capital wasn’t the easiest thing to do. I was working as a FedEx Driver at the time. Each check I had I put about $200 to the side and did this for 2 plus years. I had to live below my means. That included budgeting on groceries, not going out as much, low cost of living. When those two years went by I had enough capital to buy a pickup truck and a trailer. The rest was history!
