What does it take to be the "Greatest of All Time" in the solo exterior cleaning game? Today, we are joined by Martin, a 61-year-old entrepreneur from the West Coast of Norway who is redefining what’s possible for a one-man crew.

After nearly four decades in the family salmon business, Martin decided to build something of his own. In just two years, he has scaled to over $160,000 in annual revenue by focusing on specialized softwashing and high-value commercial projects.

Key Topics Covered:

• The Pivot: Why Martin walked away from a legacy career to start a service business at 59.
• Solo Efficiency: The exact mindset required to generate six figures without a single employee.
• The Norwegian Climate: How he tackles 3 inches of moss using softwash systems rather than high pressure.
• Faith & Work: How Martin integrates his faith into his customer service and business ethics.

Episode Highlights:

• Breaking down the $160k revenue numbers.
• The technical difference between pressure washing and softwashing.
• Handling the physical demands of the job at 61.
• Why Martin believes he is "just getting started."

We talk about:

• The internal battle and self-doubt when you start a pressure washing business

• Balancing devotionals, being a present husband/father, and chasing a big vision
• Handling equipment breakdowns, long days, and the temptation to compare rigs
• His 5-year dream for Purpose Pressure Washing, drones, fleet work, and discipling young men

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, a pressure washing rookie, or a seasoned operator who needs fresh fire, this episode will hit home.
