Starting a pressure washing business while working full time, raising a family, and trying to honor God isn’t easy. In this episode of Wash and Win with Friends, Logan from Purpose Pressure Washing (Portland, OR) shares exactly how he’s doing it.

In this conversation, we unpack Logan’s journey from Dutch Bros manager to new pressure washing business owner with a clear purpose: glorify God and disciple young men through work.

We talk about:

• The internal battle and self-doubt when you start a pressure washing business
• How one mentor and one YouTube video changed his entire path
• Why he chose to invest in better equipment (and why time matters more than we think)
• The day he made more in one day pressure washing than two weeks at Dutch Bros
• 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.

Takeaways / Value

• How to fight the mental game: doubt, comparison, and fear
• Practical thoughts on equipment: push cart vs 8 GPM rigs
• Why your time and family are part of your business strategy
• How to define a real “win” beyond the sexy rigs and big numbers
• A faith-based approach to building a pressure washing business with purpose

What happens when you invest your life savings into a failing business model? For Marcus, it became a $1.2 million success story — but not without $93 bank account moments, circuit breaker breakdowns, and a Romanian proverb that changed his business philosophy forever.

In this conversation, 25-year-old Marcus walks us through his journey from delivering groceries during COVID to running a 13-person pressure washing operation in St. Louis, Missouri. This is raw, honest, and packed with tactical wisdom you won't hear anywhere else.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

→ The exact asset purchase deal Marcus made with his retiring mentor (and why coaching mattered more than equipment)

→ Why his first pressure washing attempt failed: the 10-flyer mistake every beginner makes

→ How he scaled marketing from door hangers to 120,000 direct mail pieces and 5,000 yard signs

→ The hiring evolution: from cousins to ex-military service managers

→ What $93 in your bank account teaches you about entrepreneurship

→ His wife Nikki's behind-the-scenes role (and why he keeps her OUT of daily operations)

→ The Romanian wisdom: "If you don't have an older person in your life, go buy one"

→ Why he stopped hiring friends and family (this mindset shift unlocked scale)

REVENUE TIMELINE:

• Year 0 (with Mike): $80K
• Year 1: $130K
• Year 4: $1.2M projected

KEY QUOTE: "Whatever the number is that you think you need to do for marketing — 20x that number. You're just not doing enough, and it's not your fault. You just don't know yet."
