Thinking about starting a service business in 2026? The data says this is YOUR year—and waiting could cost you the market.
In this episode, entrepreneur and podcaster Jeremy Hanson breaks down the hard numbers behind why 2026 represents a once-in-a-decade opportunity for service business owners. With a 94% surge in entrepreneurial intent, retiring Baby Boomer business owners creating market vacuums, and median startup costs dropping to just $12,000, the barriers to entry have never been lower.
Discover why the "cheapest guy" business model is dead, how 60% of consumers now pay 15% MORE for reliability, and why response time beats price in winning customers. Learn how AI-augmented operations, subscription revenue models, and the invisible floor of delivery platforms are creating predictable cash flow for pressure washing, lawn care, HVAC, food trucks, and mobile service businesses.
Whether you're running a side hustle or ready to scale to six figures, this episode delivers actionable insights on 2026 consumer buying behaviors, the trust economy, and why local service businesses are outmaneuvering corporate giants. Stop overthinking. Start building. The window is open—but it won't stay open forever.
Perfect for: aspiring entrepreneurs, service business owners, food truck operators, pressure washing businesses, lawn care companies, HVAC contractors, mobile detailing, cleaning services, and anyone ready to stop planning and start doing. Listen now and discover why life rewards the doer, not the thinker.

Stop chasing tactics. Start building capacity.
In this essential episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast, entrepreneur and multi-business operator Jeremy Hanson reveals the 10 personal development traits that will separate successful entrepreneurs from the rest in 2026 and beyond.
After running service businesses for over 20 years—including cleaning companies, pressure washing operations, and food trucks—Jeremy has learned that business success is downstream from personal development. The entrepreneurs who win aren't just smarter; they're more disciplined, emotionally resilient, and intentional about how they show up every day.
THE 10 TRAITS COVERED:
Emotional Regulation - Master your internal state instead of relying on motivation
Decision-Making Speed - Make fast, imperfect decisions with incomplete data
Disciplined Consistency - Execute boring fundamentals when no one's watching
Adaptability Without Identity Crisis - Change tactics while maintaining core values
Personal Accountability - Take radical ownership of every outcome
Focus in a Distraction Economy - Protect deep work and say no ruthlessly
Communication That Creates Clarity - Lead through precise, purposeful communication
Long-Term Thinking - Play multi-year games in a short-term world
Physical & Mental Self-Mastery - Treat yourself as your company's operating system
Purpose Beyond Money - Build a mission that sustains you when motivation fails
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN:
Why personal capacity matters more than business tactics in 2026
Practical frameworks to develop each trait in 90 days
Real examples from two decades of entrepreneurial experience
The foundation of The Optimized Entrepreneur methodology
Insight into the ecosystem launching in 2026 (interviews, workshops, courses, community)
PERFECT FOR: Service business owners, operators, builders, and entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that don't break them—and who understand that sustainable success requires internal work, not just external tactics.

Most entrepreneurs ask the wrong question.
They ask, “What business should I start?”
The better question is: “What service businesses will still work in 2026?”
In this episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast – Optimized Entrepreneur Series, Jeremy Hanson breaks down the real service business trends that will define who scales, who survives, and who quietly burns out over the next two years.
This isn’t hype. It isn’t theory. And it isn’t recycled internet advice.
These are patterns already happening right now—driven by labor realities, pricing pressure, consumer trust, automation, and margin compression across real service businesses.

In this episode, Jeremy explains:
Why service businesses are splitting into two classes—and why the middle is disappearing
Why labor shortages are structural, not temporary
Why pricing power matters more than volume going forward
How premium, trust-based local service businesses will outperform national brands
How AI and automation are separating true owners from burned-out operators
Why customers are willing to pay more for less chaos and better experiences
What service business owners must change now to win in 2026
Jeremy draws from real operating experience—cleaning companies, pressure washing, food trucks, and service operations—showing exactly why what worked in 2022 is already outdated, and why waiting for things to “go back to normal” is a losing strategy.
This episode is for:
Service business owners feeling squeezed by rising costs
Entrepreneurs tired of grinding for thin margins
Operators who want systems, pricing clarity, and time freedom
Anyone building a service business that needs to last beyond the next cycle
2026 will not reward hustle alone.
It will reward structure, pricing power, automation, clarity, and discipline.
If you want to build a service business that doesn’t collapse under pressure—and instead dominates its lane—this episode lays out exactly what you need to understand now.
This is optimized entrepreneurship—built for reality, not nostalgia.

THE JEREMY HANSON PODCAST — Optimized Entrepreneur Series
Episode: The Responsibility of Success — Leadership, Family, Faith, and Community
Runtime: 46 Minutes

Success isn’t the finish line — it’s the beginning of responsibility.

In this powerful, emotional, and deeply honest episode, Jeremy Hanson breaks down the true weight of being a successful entrepreneur: the responsibility you carry for your family, friendships, church, and community. This is not a conversation about tactics or trends — it’s about the moral obligations that come with leadership.

Jeremy reveals why success without responsibility leaves entrepreneurs empty… and why responsibility, when embraced fully, creates purpose, clarity, and long-term legacy. This episode teaches the structural backbone of leadership: how to be a strong spouse, a present parent, a reliable friend, a committed member of your church, and a pillar in your community.

Whether you’re building a business, rebuilding a life, or stepping into a bigger version of yourself, this episode will challenge you, strengthen you, and remind you of the weight you were built to carry.
