Hey 👋, I’m Jonathan Pototschnik—my friends call me JP. If you’ve heard of me, it’s probably because I’ve had some big wins in home services over the last 15 years, building multiple 8-figure companies and selling a software business. But what you didn’t see were the years before that—trying different businesses, walking away from businesses that made great money but weren’t what I wanted for my life, and pushing through times when I felt like I was giving everything but barely keeping up with life at home with my wife and boys. I lost three years and $100k on my first ‘real’ business in my mid-20s. I spent years building another company only to give back my equity and walk away. People see success, but they don’t see the long, exhausting, and uncertain road it took to get here—just like the one you might be on now. This channel is where I share what I’ve learned—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently. I don’t have a grand plan for this. Maybe I’ll coach again (I used to own a coaching business). Maybe I’ll help young entrepreneurs. Maybe I’ll start another software company (probably not). I just know that sharing what I’ve learned is valuable, and I enjoy it.  Plus, it keeps my options open. It’s always good to have an audience and be known. If you’re building something and want to avoid years of trial and error, stick around. I’ve got a few ideas to share.   Curious why I named this channel 5ForFifty?  Here’s what I believe: https://youtu.be/taeJ95dCwcw - Jonathan

Why AI is Very Bad for Your Lawn Care Business

Most home service business owners are excited about AI right now. They should be. I am too — I'm betting serious money on it across my own businesses. But there is something no one is talking about. And it's going to hit owners hard in the next few years. If you own a lawn care, pest, cleaning, or HVAC business doing $350K to $10M+, this is important.  It’s not fear-mongering. ▸▸ Want my Roadmaps for Free?  Go here: https://5forfifty.com/resources/ 🍿 Watch this next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JiRbJBGh6o 🔔 If you want me to keep creating content for you, please Subscribe WHO AM I?
