I'm Mark. I've hung Christmas lights for 20 seasons in Johnson County, Kansas — 385 homes last season, roughly $120K every October through January, all built around a day job. This is the system I wish somebody had handed me in 2007.

Honest answer: I didn't start this business because I had a vision. I started it because I was scared.
The crash took a big bite out of us. I had four kids under ten and a wife looking at me across the kitchen table saying, "The kids get a Christmas." Not a question. A fact I needed to figure out.
I didn't even own a ladder — I borrowed one. But I wasn't afraid of a roofline. So I knocked on doors and hung lights.
That first season I did 17 houses and cleared about $5,000. Doesn't sound like much until you understand what it bought — presents under the tree, and proof that people in nice neighborhoods will gladly pay a careful man to do a job they don't want to do on a ladder in the cold.
Twenty seasons later, that scared-dad side hustle does 385 homes and roughly $120K every October through January. Still built around a full-time job. Still the same math it was in 2007 — just more of it.

Here's the deal — this business doesn't work everywhere, and I'm not going to pretend it does. Before you spend a dollar on the course or a single clip, you run your town through my Green‑Light Test:
Is there enough of the right housing within a tight drive of your driveway? Rooflines, not mansions — the sweet spot is nicer-than-average neighborhoods, not gated estates.
Do people in your area already spend on their homes — landscaping, holiday décor, curb appeal? If they do, they'll spend on lights.
Who's already hanging lights in your town, and how good are they? Some competition is a green light — it proves the market. Saturation is a red one.
And you won't be guessing. When you book your free 15-minute fit call, I'll send you the exact formula to calculate whether your town is a prime market for this business — so you know where you stand before we ever talk, and before any money moves. Fair?
This isn't a binge-and-forget video library. Each phase unlocks when the calendar says it matters — because a Christmas light business runs on a calendar, not a whim.
The Exact Shopping List. Every clip, bulb, and tool I actually buy — links, quantities, and what to leave on the shelf. No guessing at the hardware store. You get it for booking the fit call, whether you join or not.
And that's just the first one. There's a stack of bonuses waiting inside when you enroll.
Still free. Still no payment on this page.
Here's the deal — you can't buy this course from this page. There's no checkout button anywhere on it. That's on purpose.
Before any money moves, you and I get on a free 15-minute call. By then you'll have already run your town through the Green‑Light Test — I send you the formula when you book. On the call we go over your results together. If your area can't support this business — wrong housing stock, market's saturated, whatever — I will tell you to keep your money. I've done it before and I'll do it again. I'd rather lose a sale than take $997 from someone I know can't win.
On that call I'll also show you my actual tax return. Not a screenshot, not a dashboard — the paper I file. Paper beats pixels. And for a few people each season there's an in-person option where you install with me on live jobs here in Kansas — I only offer it on this call, and I'm mentioning it now so nothing on that call is a surprise.
Founding member price · goes to $1,497 when the founding build is done.
Founders lock in $500 off, permanently.
Remember the math: the average install runs $250–$500, and you'll book 15 to 25 of them. One good season pays for everything you just read about — several times over.
Book the call. Bring your town, your schedule, and your questions. I'll bring 20 seasons and a tax return. In 15 minutes we'll both know if this is your thing — and if it isn't, I'll say so and you'll keep your $997.
