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.
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companies, pressure washing, food trucks, and service operations—showing exactly why what worked in 2022 is already outdated, and why waiting for things to “go back to normal” is a losing strategy.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.
