EP 557: How to Make Money in Car Washes with Willi Schmidt

This week we deep dive into something very specific from someone you probably haven't heard it from. Willi Schmidt is well know for his long running show Pure Hunting, but a lot of people don't know he actually made his living with Car Washes. In this episode we talk about how Willi went from running a bank to walking away and buying a car wash so he could hunt more. Having the car wash allowed him to pursue is passion and create a second profitable business doing what he loved. We dive deep into the weeds of the car wash business and figure out what are the major hurdles, costs and headaches of running a car wash. I was blown away at what the potential is.   Show Notes: About Willi, His Background & Career - 02:30 Car Washes & the Hunting Lifestyle - 23:31 Market Analysis, Locations & Employees - 31:37 Similar Business Models & Advice - 42:03 Pure Hunting, Assets & Brokers - 50:25 Short Term Rentals & Compound Interest - 1:01:41 Willi's Listener Offer, SM & Content - 1:07:44   It's safe to say I use On X pretty much daily. With gas prices through the roof scouting from my laptop is a heck of a lot cheaper than driving. I've forced myself to dive deeper into all my hunt plans to make sure I'm dialed. One cool thing I like to do is put all my pins in folders this way I can take them on and off. I can hide all my pins and really see the map with a clean slate.
